Food City Outlet incharge bad behavior

Today morning as a customer I suggested to the person incharge in Dematagoda new building outlet to have the discount structure appeared in the bill more simple so that customers can understand it easily but the guy was rude calling himself a degree holder and we customers understand nothing which led to an unnecessary argument. This type of toxic guys will ruin the reputed name of Food City. Please correct them.

Food City Pharmacy

Thursday May 12th at around noon I called the pharmacy for my hospice patient and I asked politely for them to fill a prescription at Dayton Tennessee store and the lady said they were going to get it ready well I had her on speaker phone and she thought that she hung up the phone as she and her coworker had a good laugh about"guess who that was?" And she said that patients name who is under hospice care and they laughed at the patient saying they told him two days previous that they would have it ready which was a lie but it belittled the patient and he could die any day but something should be done with these smart ellic pharmacy staff members but the patient will take his pharmacy service else where. How sad they should be ashamed.

Food City customer service manager Melissa at Food City #605 37664 Kingsport Tn

I would like to file a complaint ... I am a senior citizen and shop frequently at your store in Kingsport TN 37664... I went to your store this evening.. 5/9/22 and was waiting in line to pay ... long line.. and customers in front of me with alot of items... I politely asked the store manager Melissa if I could possibly check out at your Starbucks department... as they seem to be more willing to help .. and are very 'customer service oriented'... she and another employee were standing visiting ... and absolutely not working... just threw up her arms and said.. 'this is all we got'.. I guess meaning the ONE REGISTER OPEN... and there were about four other employees standing around... I am diabetic,,,, about to go into a diabetic coma just waiting... I used to love shopping at your store... but lately the customer service in this store doesn't seem to be very important... please look into this .. it's pretty easy to be polite and customer service oriented... unless you really just do not like your job...at least be a little more helpful to us senior citizens and disabled customers... Robert Gonzales [protected]

Desired outcome: customer service training and empathy to seniors and disabled like myself. please

Food City Noise Complaint -

Hello I am a resident of Hunters Lake subdivision in Johnson City, Tennessee The rear of my property is just 50 yards away from the patio of Holy Taco, your tenant at the end of your property on State of Franklin Rd

My complaint is about their loud music. Last summer it occurred every Saturday night. I was told I would not have to worry about it again this year because they would be moving the music to their property at Boones Creek.

Apparently that is not the case because today is Thursday, May 5, and it has started up again. I am very disappointed to think I have to endure another summer with this. The music has been so loud that I have to turn up the volume to hear my own TV. Because of the music, I cannot entertain on my back porch. I find it intrusive and unacceptable.

Can you work with your tenant to stop playing the music or put up a sound barrier around your property? In fact, a sound barrier around the back of your entire building would be helpful. Your trucks, dumpster dumping, alarms, etc. are also annoying, but not nearly as annoying as the loud music from Holy Taco . And by the way, the whole of Hunters Lake has boycotted Holy Taco because of this issue.

Desired outcome: Ask Holy Taco to stop their music or put up a sound barrier to block it.

Food City The eggs

One week ago I bought 12 large white eggs in the nearest Food City 1430 Volunteer Pasrkway, Bristol Tennessee and most of them are broke and frozen. I’m extremely careful with my eggs when I bring them home I put them in the front seat.

I just left food city after attempting to spend a easter holiday breakfast with my boyfriend eating mineral. However from the second I walked into the second I left I was treated beyond disrespectfully by the security guard at the front door several times he came over and said rude remarks and comments. I feel that I was completely judged based on the way I...

On April 6, 2022, approx 4:30pm I was checking out after spending an hour shopping at 741 Dolly Parton Parkway, Sevierville, TN. Cashier asked if I had a Discount Card. I said YES, but it's in the car (key ring) with my wife & dog, enjoying the a/c while they waited for me. I asked cashier to use the "courtesy" card that normally is kept at each register ...

Food City Food City Parking Lot

Complaint about the Food City located on 4510 HWY 58

Chattanooga, TN 37416.

There has been a tractor trailer parked out in the front of the parking lot (located next to the Regions Bank) for over 2 months as well as some "crs" drop off bend. It is encouraging people to dump/drop off couches, trash, etc.

The back of the business parking lot is not any better. There is trash, buggies, etc. left out in the middle of the parking lot which is making it hard for ups/fedex to be able to drive and get to the back of the warehouse to drop off deliveries.

I would appreciate it if the district manager of this particular Food City would contact me. Jeff Covington [protected]. I have spoken with the general manager at this Food City several times and nothing has been done. I would be happy to walk around the facility with you and point out the problems I have an issue with.

Food City Cake from Bakery

Bakery in Store 664 in Colonial heights, Tn on Moreland drive I ordered. A cake for my son's 11th birthday, I gave the bakery clerk a picture to put on the cake. Next day my wife picks up the cake it isn't remotely close to what I ordered it was a Chinese birthday cake with happy birthday on it. And my wife saw the clerk that took the odered he avoided her went and hid the day we picked it up. Cause he knew. We picked cake up on February 19, 2022, honestly my son and I are of japanese decent so you can see why it's appauling, choose that of all things to get wrong and it's not even Chinese new year in late February.

Desired outcome: We were only reimbursed for the charge for photo print not the whole purchase of the cake, yes I kept the cake it's a bday party. For a kid after all

Food City Food City Harrison TN 37341

I am concerned that I never see the manager and really not sure that he is even still there. The front of the store is run by teenagers or young adults that are often on their phones texting. The adult management is always stocking shelves. I never see them at the service desk.

I was overcharged by $40 this past week. The cashier had entered the wrong number for me. I was charged full price for cokes that were on sale. I told her that she could remove them from my order. She said they were no longer on sale. I suggested they remove the sale sign. She called someone to remove the items from the register, and she too said that the sale was off.

I shop regularly at this store but considering changing. It is very conveniently located, but after having almost $200 dollars worth of groceries rerung, the convenience is not worth it. The young man did not comment on anything other than asking me what was on sale. When he realized it was more than just a few things, he did rering all the items. I did have frozen groceries in the car.

I have filled out the questionnaires that you all send out regularly, but never receive any responses or see any changes.

I went down to the food city location in Chatsworth Georgia after work ready to get groceries after a long day at work. I couldn’t find a product so I asked the manager who I was informed was named Charles Seay where an item was and he was not only extremely rude to me, he was mumbling under his breath and extremely rude too. I’ve never received this kind...

I called headquarters and they said they could not help me because the gas issue was resolved, so I explained to her that there's diesel in our gas. So here we are having to try to fix our vehicles, and this was at Gas n Go in Dandridge TN. They had an issue over this past weekend that wasn't resolved.

Desired outcome: Our vehicles fixed for their mistake.

Food City The store in general

I bought 3 Marie Callender mini very berry pies [protected]). All 3 had frost on them like they were not properly temperature controlled and were banged up inside of the box. I also used the ladies room and the the changing station for children was filled with urine! But wait there's more, the check-out lines were backed up into the isles and none of the 3 cashiers called for help until some of us asked in line. Food City 705, 1600 East 23rd Str., Chatt., TN 37403

Desired outcome: Someone regional or higher come and fix it. I do hope that it's brought up to standard as your other newer stores. The neighborhood needs it!

Food City Service of worker in the Deli

The worker was so rude to me I stood there listening to her talk so mean to some of the employees I got mad for them. She then waited on me and her attitude was horrible. This happened at the store in Harlan ky 40831. If this employee keeps up with the way she is treating people I'm sure they will lose a lot of business and fast. And the Employees name was Shannon Gross

Desired outcome: Anything
