Vehicle towed from empty parking lot after only a few hours. Wife dealing with family emergency.
To whom it may concern, My wife and I have been loyal shoppers at your 2601-A Castle Hayne Road, Wilmington, NC location for 24+ years. Last night my wife was shopping in your store when she received a message that her mother had nearly died from a blood clot in her lungs. My wife was extremely upset and asked me to come get her and take her home. We left...
Read full review of Food LionNew design of check out lines
The new design of check out lines is awkward and not efficient for large purchases. The self serve area is great for small purchases. I regularly shop once a week. Usually have a basket full. The belt is short and I cannot get everything on it. Half the time the cart waiting in-between the 2 registers is a small cart. My groceries won't fit into it and they...

When I was shopping at your Emerald Isle, NC Food Lion, I witnessed a male employee yelling at a petite female customer. The woman was crying and pleading "Jason, please don't hurt me!" As a woman myself, I felt desperate to help her, but feared for my own safety. Finally a female manager named Tanya came over, but instead of correcting her male employee...

While delivering for Instacart today 9/30/24 at about 2:04pm I pulled in and starting calling the Food Lion to go phone. I contacted that number 7 times received the same message each time stating the associate was busy and it automatically hangs up. I am on a time limit so I started calling to speak with someone at Customer Service and I had to call 4...

Since the new sale ad came out June 26th, I have traveled to 6 different stores trying to find several advertised items. I've shopped at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 8 p.m. No store had in stock the advertised F/L ice cream, Athena cantaloupes, nor Boston butts. No store would give me a rain check. I know I'm just 1 measly customer that Food Lion will never mi...
Read full review of Food Lion and 1 commentNight time front in manager
Saturday, Mar 30, 2024 food lion in Prince George Va .. bogo sign “buy 2 get 1 free” on Red Bull drinks. It didn’t come off at register. I ask the self check clerk about this and she got manager Shirley (who took forever to come) she was rude.. clerk showed her and she yells across the front that was last weeks sale. Yells at me “ma'am that was last weeks sale” Didn’t offer deal and several signs were still up. It was the stores fault that several signs were up promoting this deal. She should have gave the deal since they had failed to remove these signs. This store has gone down lately. Poor management and rude employees
Desired outcome: Store to file a complaint against her and she should be demoted. She is not manager material

Blatant profiling
Mkay so a few minutes ago in the Lenoir, NC store on wilkesboro blvd with it being 7:25 PM, me and a friend walked into so we could use the cash back feature they offer because it's the easiest to deal with, we walked in and went straight to the energy drinks display cooler directly behind the registers so I could pick out a drink and we were not standing...

Rude employee
To whom it may concern at Food Lion customer relations: I am writing to inform you that I received a troubling notification from two friends of mine who are currently employed at the Food Lion grocery store on Easy Street in Greenville, NC concerning an employee at that location. I was told a cashier by the name of Connie (a middle-aged, African American...

Tuesday October the 4th, the lady that was running the customer service register, her name is Marissa decided that staying on a personal phone call was more important than helping a customer checking out. It seems there was no manager around to make a complaint to because there were only 2 employees up front working. I find this lack of service off-putting...

Order Details
Order ID: # [protected]
This occurred at the Morganton Blvd store. a kid named Jacob was total jerk toward my husband when we went to pick up our groceries. he was rude and condescending. we received a text that the order was ready then three hours later sent another one that said it not ready til tomorrow cause there is no one there to shop it. this store never has staff they make excuses for their terrible staff and bad attitude. the GM is rude and incompetent and doe not handle staffing or morale issues at all. he is especially rude towards women.
i will not be using food lion any further
Desired outcome: want that kid fired
Food lion vegetable department on Horner Blvd. Sanford, NC
The Food Loin on S Horner Blvd. In Sanford near the Big Lot is the worst vegetable department we have ever experienced. In the past I've returned peaches to get my money back due to rotten fruit in a sealed bag. Today, Oct 7, 2023 the fresh vegetable trays a fill with water, the vegetable have oxidized and are brown. We have pictures that should not be sent to the health department, but if nothing is done we will register a complaint. This problem has been experienced many times at this particular store and no other that we have seen.
Desired outcome: Reprimand or replace the management of the store. Hire a staff for the vegetable department that cares about the reputation of the store.
Came and grabbed a box of wine capracios to be exact.
I pick up the item off the SHELF bring it to the front … the barcode doesnt scan for them and she says cant sell this to you .. i say why .. she said its not in the system i said okay is that not your inventory peoples fault.. she said yes …. Awkawrd silence im just like so your letting your inventory employees do a bad job and customer who are contracting for instacart cant shop and make their money …. Horrible man
Desired outcome: New management
Employee service
The tall black man who is in the store on Turnberry is problematic. He likes to harass 80 year old senior citizens. When my dad comes to the store, he aggressively accost him. He attempts to make my dad the mockery of his jokes. He should be professional and don't get personal with customers especially defenseless elderly people. I have been to the store...

On 9/10/23 at around 2pm I went into the food lion in petersburg, va. There was one regular line open. Everything else was self checkout. The line for self checkout (which is what we were in, although I didn’t realize it at the time) was all the way (3/4 of the way) down a grocery aisle. This is unacceptable! Just a few minutes ago I was in the store in...

I was wrongfully fired from the Aiken location. I was told i did not do my production that night but i took photos, i showed the manager and he said he didn't care. I have gone to several places to get justice for it and it's like it doesn't even matter to them. The manager who did it stated that he didn't like me, and i'm not happy in the workplace and i...
Read full review of Food LionLettuce in produce section
The Food Lion on Springs Road in Hickory North Carolina is putting out Lettuce without any source of the product. The last 4 heads I purchased looked okay on the outside, but when you cut into it, it is full of dark brown spots.
Food Lion is known for their freshness, but I suggest you stop using the vendor and replace it with Dole produce, which backs their products.
Thank you!
Desired outcome: Unknown vendor for Lettuce dropped from Procurement Listing and replace it with Dole Lettuce
