Food Lion employee

This employee had made a comment which she should of never new about, and threw it in my face. This bi-polar employee needs some attitude ajustment! She is very rude! Name Brittney Cantillo. I have the comments she made to me, and would something done!

I was told by Joel Smith that nothing would be said about myself, and if anything did, there would be some sort of retaliation.

She had no right in the words she said, and I will not have her running her mouth. Apparently the information she has is wrong.

On 7/6/23, at 5:17 pm, I went to store #0431. Their sales paper advertised Michelob Ultra 24 packs for $19.99. It rang up $22.99 & they would not honor the sales price. I spoke to the manager about a month ago when this same thing happened so I didn't bother with her yesterday. I know it's a few dollars but I bought 3 cases! If it had rang upright, I wa...

Food Lion Online delivery order

I placed an online order to be delivered to my step sons at their moms house so they’d have groceries and necessities. I was informed that they got everything double 2 days later. Checked into it and the order was shopped twice once delivered at 9:38 am on6-8-23 and again at 10:27am same day. When I called she said the order was put in again at 9:38. The same time it got delivered. I was charged twice 221.85 and 190.80 price difference because two different people shopped 2 different times so the substitutes were different. I didn’t ask for two orders be delivered and I was told I’d be getting my money back for one order. The lady said it must have been a glitch in the system and wanted to give me that much food Lion credit which doesn’t pay my rent or power. But still yet I’ve not gotten any credit nor have I’ve recorded my money back. I’m very angry and disappointed. If I wanted double of everything delivered I would had made quality adjustments not paid 31.38 on fees and tips to do that then less than an hour later pay 30.10 to have everything delivered again. And she told me when I called that I’d get my money back. But still nothing. Contacted my bank and they can’t get it back for me. I spend allot of money with food Lion every month but I will start going else where if that’s what I need to do

Desired outcome: I want my money back

Around 5:15pm on June 27th, 2023, I went into our local food lion to grab a couple things my kids needed. I got to the checkout, waited in line for a few minutes, and placed my items on the counter. The cashier scanned all of my items, bagged them, and I put them in my buggie. My kids are on WIC, so I pulled my WIC card out as my form of payment since...

I ordered online pick up. I am missing my body wash and dish soap, which I was charged for on my receipt. The label on the grocery bags say there were 7 bags total and we only received 6. I called the store location several times over the course of 3 hours to speak to the manager but no one ever answered from any department. Order ID: # [protected] Store location: 10105 US-70 BUS W Clayton NC 27520

Shaya or cashier 0223 had no customer service but was not out done by any of the other employees that was working in the store this weekend. There was no manager that I could find on duty really sad it's not this bad during the week. Did not put my groceries in the cart and acted like I was putting her out to have to ring me up. And she never spoke to me through my whole check out.

Two days ago I went into the Whittier NC foodlion and the cashier I went to was literally throwing my groceries around so I asked her nicely not to throw my groceries around. Well her attitude got worse and she started cussing and throwing my groceries around more. I had made a Facebook post about my experience there and a customer service representative...

Food Lion Pharmacy

Many years ago I used food lion pharmacy I switched to another one and stayed there for years. When I got new insurance my pharmacy informs me they don't take my new insurance so I called food lion and told them I'd like to come back if they took my insurance. They said they did so they took my information and had all scripts transferred over to them. I began getting my meds and the co pays were getting ridiculous. I couldn't understand why I was paying so much. I asked them so many times and brushed off and told to call my insurance company. I got a new medicine that I was told I had to pay $1500 for and that was it for me.i called my insurance and.long story short the entire time I've been back at food lion all the co pays I was charged come to find.ouh they were charging some random insurance company..why I have no clue. I'd never heard of these people in my life. I've been given a expense sheet from the pharmacy and I want every dime back I paid.foid lion for this bogas insurance. I have zero copays on all.of meds. They took no responsibility for this not even a apology. I'll take this to the better business

Desired outcome: I want all of my money back that was stolen

Food Lion Rewards

On June 16th, I tried to use food lion delivery to go. My $8 in rewards were applied, when I checked out my debit card was declined. When I went to try again, my $8 in rewards were gone from my account. I absolutely did not use them. The rewards should have been automatically put back in my account once the card didn't go through. I just looked and the $8 is still not there. I will be shopping with kroger instead. I'm really annoyed and disappointed that my rewards were taken from me and want them back on my account. When can you fix this issue? Thank you

Desired outcome: My $8 rewards put back in my account immediately

I placed my first pick-up order today and was highly disappointed. I usually do my own shopping but I injured my hip so I was excited to see that there is a pick up option. However, I will never use it again and potentially won't be shopping at food lion again. I received my order but I was missing things from my list. They didn't substitute them, they just...

There was a person redoing the carpet there so this is why they were...

Food Lion Service.. Mang. Said they were collecting carts from parking lot

On Tuesday morning evening at 6:50 I went into the food Lion here on Hardscrabble Road it was very busy but the lines were moving well I went to the customer service center there was no one there they were changing shifts about 3 minutes later four people accident out of the back office I had a conversation and then they moved forward I asked was anyone coming to the service desk and she the manager white female black 50 years old she had on a red top and black jeans said someone will be in in a minute she then went to the speaker and called for three people to come up front as she and the other three people exited the food Lion parking lot a few minutes later she came back in and then she sent another young lady in I spoke to the young lady who said with an attitude may I help you I gave her my instructions on what I needed and I said I just want to mention to you all that I had to wait a long time and she said oh well under her breath and I said pardon me and she said here's your change and dismissed me at that point I said to her I need to see your manager because this is not acceptable behavior at that point the manager for the evening shift came up and I said ma'am I have a concern this young lady was not respectful and she said okay I said now it might not matter to you all about customer service but it is important too many people so this is just something that I want to mention she proceeded to tell me that she was doing her job that she had been in the parking lot and that it did matter to her whatever happens in the store at that point she turned around and she walked away and she came outside and spoke to a girl whom she knew saying hey boo I told her that her behavior was not acceptable and that I was very concerned and she said she didn't care so at this point I'm leaving this complaint because the day manager is totally different haven't worked in food service I do know the importance and value of customers but as a senior myself it was very disrespectful I work with teenagers as a high school recruiter they were acceptable however I don't know if there was something going on in your store last night but everyone seem to be ready to leave at 7:00 p.m.

Desired outcome: Please let your manager whom was working Tuesday night until 7:00 p.m. that her behavior was not representative of a food Lion employee and not of a management personnel thank you.

Food Lion Store temperature

We shop at Food lion on Old Monroe Rd Indian Trail NC 28079. Store # 0532.

The ambient temperature in this store makes shopping almost impossible. I will be forced to shop elsewhere if the environmental temperature isn't lowered. I prefer to shop at Food Lion because it's so community oriented. Please lower the temperature so shopping is comfortable.

Thank you so much.

Susan

Desired outcome: Comfortable shopping environment temperature

Food Lion Service at store in Cleveland Tenn.

My wife and I went in your store in Cleveland Tenn. on 6/4/23, at 530 pm, We needed nothing, just going by so we stopped, picked up about $50.00 of stuff went to pay, casher wanted ID, so I gave her a TENN> DMV. I D card, witch is my old drivers license, when you get a new one they punch a hole in your old one and say use it for your ID, it works all over US and Tenn. She must have been new to the store, and very rude, so we did not buy anything, we have done a lot of shopping there, But that is the last, I see Food lion rating is 0.5 out of 5 stars, on service, so I expect nothing and I won't be back!

Food Lion Noise level in stores from buffing machines.

When shopping at Food Lion store number 1351 the noise level is so high that you have to yell at people to be heard. They buff the floors in the mornings instead of when customers are not present. After the store closes at night would be more appropriate. This store is usually poorly stocked and frequently run out of merchandise. The shelves are frequently empty in the meat and dairy departments. This store needs guidance with these matters.

Thank you for your time.

I was in line waiting to get my food rung up and the cashier his name was Jamal. I was putting my items on the belt and he was very rough with my groceries and was slamming them in the bag he then got smart with me which made very upset. I didn't appreciate that kind of treatment at my everyday store. But the people next in line behind me he was nice to them ,I feel very disrespected.
