I have always wondered why michiganders unnecessarily add S' to words. 'Fords' 'walmarts' 'costcos'. Its very prevelent in my area with all the 'fords' and 'gms' plants near by.

When I lived in Arkansas a lot of 'em said Wallmarks and Kmarks so i guess we that sometimes use an S aren't quite as illiterate as a southern hillbilly lol. J/K not trying to offend anybody.....

's implies POSSESSION. is it Her, or HER's, i work at GMC, but my pay comes from GM's Payroll department.
splitting hairs is useless. Correcting Grammar is not. correcting bad grammar with more bad grammar is even worse than splitting the hairs. (s as in MULTIPLES).
you can go to Meijer, or you can go to Meijer's. after iti is a Meijer's store being owned.

But Meijer used to be called Meijer's Thrifty Acres. So calling it Meijer's (Meijers) is a habit with a lot of non young people including myself.

Yes and if you piss dirty you will lose your job and your work comp benefits. Since you are going to lose your job anyway, better off refusing the piss test. You will lose your job either way but if you refuse pissing then they can't deny your comp last I knew.

Doesn't the apostrophe imply a contraction? As in, meijer's = meijer is. Yep

It will denote either a contraction or posession. ie: "That is Maggie's nipple ring."

Meijers Thrify Acres had a Day Care Center for shopping parents when I was a boy , must have been the late 70's when this was setup ..
I was only left there one time , and they could not handle me according to my mom ..
They pushed me into a Woody The Woodpecker Cartoon Booth and I made them empty there pockets lol ..
Best memories of Meijers Thrify Acres were the times spent in that damn cartoon booth ..

I can remember the animal play area in the middle of the store where parents would drop their kids off to play. A different time...
