Today, may 18 th, at/around 4:35 pm. I went to 1st self checkout.. All of a sudden a black woman from a different self checkout started cussing me, raising her voice and making a scene. I didn’t say anything at first because it’s low class to make a scene in public, but she kept on. The place was packed with people, so i’m not gonna let anyone run me over...

On 1 May 2023 my wife, myself, and my service dog went shopping first to Tractor Supply, then to Walmart, and finally to Food Lion. While in Food Lion on JA Cochran Bypass in Chester we walked around the store for about 15 minutes and then my service dog saw a bunch of kids running, got excited and barked. I immediately made him be quiet and there was no...

On April 20th 2023 I went in foodlion to purchase a money order like I always do on 3300 Rosehill Rd Fayetteville NC. The customer service manager named Twaina I'm not sure if its spelled correctly but she came off with an attitude from the start. I was already waiting about 5-10 minutes to get service. Ms Twaina then approached me very rudely with an...

Food Lion Weekly Sale Items

This company seems to have a bad habit of placing items in their weekly sale ads, (primarily meat type items) and when you try to buy these items we're told that the store hasn't received their shipment yet. This actually happens on the first day of the sale and they do not offer rain checks on these items.

It seems to me that if you continually advertise sale items that you do not have in store that would be considered the old bait & switch.

Desired outcome: If you are going to place the item in your weekly ad then make sure your stores have a reasonable supply of the item.

Food Lion Employee treatment

Very poor Management and Human decency.. does not like to treat employees fair.. no lunch or break choice, treats You less and shows favoritism towards certain ones. All employees should be treated equally and all should want to work together but instead want to work against you because they have a higher salary and a higher "title" . Does not value.

Desired outcome: Treat people how you want to be treated. Work together as a Team, treat others with kindness. You can not bloom if you have no room to or feel no value!

Food Lion Signing up for curb side delivery

I've tried to be patient with you but I have to admit that you have worn me down.

I would like to know the name and address of your registered agent so that I can file for relief in King George general district court.

I tried calling for help on your help line, you hung up on me. You tell me that I don't know either my first or last name, which I have had over 75 yrs now. And when I try to start all over you tell me I can't because you already have someone using my email account, ( which is me). I even tried changing my pass word but you fail to send either an email or text.

So, I have come to the conclusion that I will need a judge to help me get set up.

Craig Cole Howell

15108 Misty Ln.

King George, Va. 22485

Ph. [protected] or cell# [protected].

Desired outcome: Get curb side service set up for me or remove Food Lions right to do business in the State of Virginia until such time as you can demonstrate the ability to treat all people equal.

I arrived at your Butner NC warehouse at 7:00 on 3/15/23 to get your load of Tampons unloaded. My appointment time is 7:30. They will not let any trucks park on the premises although there is about 20 parking spaces just for trucks! I could understand if it was 2 or 3 hours before my appointment but not 30 minutes!

On March 9th I placed an online order. I requested no replacement on some items if they didn't have the ones I specifically wanted. I got two replacements. Instead of Food Lion Greek yogurt, they gave me Chobani. Instead of Silk Next milk they gave me Cobani Oatmeal milk. The difference in cost may not be significant to some but I am working with a very...

It's the night before Christmas Eve, 2022 and I'm doing the very last of my Christmas shopping. I've just purchased a gift item, a Shelf Elf, down the road at CVS, exchanged 'Merry Christmases' with the friendly personnel there and traveled the short distance to the Lyman FOOD LION Store #2642 to make my final Christmas purchase, a Franzia Box Wine.

Food Lion The Cashiers and Baggers Are Rude And Disrespectful

This happened at FOOD LION Store #2642 300 Spartanburg Hwy Lyman, SC.

23 DECEMBER 2022 / 10:20:58 PM / REGISTER: 004 / CASHIER: 0130

I was in there the night before Christmas Eve. The checkout girl and the bag boy were two of the least friendly people I've ever met in life. Neither acknowledged my existence. I said 'hey' to the checkout girl and 'thanks' when she handed me my receipt. She said nothing and he didn't even look at me. Great store... I guess. My family will be shopping elsewhere from now on. MERRY CHRISTMAS! - P.S. I read some other 1 star reviews and they said the same thing - the people at the registers, cashiers and baggers are very unfriendly. It is a shame because this was once a nice store and everyone who worked there was very friendly. I will not be returning.

Desired outcome: STOP BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. WE DON'T COME TO YOUR STORE TO BE SMIRKED AT AND IGNORED.

Food Lion Hot dog buns

I can't always afford the more expensive hot dog buns for my family, but I've always had confidence in buying "store brand" items. This time, my habits have failed me. I picked the hot dog buns with the best "use by" date and was completely disappointed upon serving them. The bottoms totally fell through, and it wasn't because there was too much stuff on the hot dog. My children only use ketchup, and only with supervision! Nonetheless, I'll not get these in the future. I'll go ahead and man-up and buy the $4 buns. Needless to say, I'm a little more than disappointed. I ALWAYS shop at Food Lion, and I ALWAYS buy store brand. Guess I'll have to put a little more thought into it in the future.

Desired outcome: It would be nice to have a refund, although the money isn't really the point. No need for an apology, just try to carry a better product.

Food Lion Bad store experience

I visited the North Tryon location in Charlotte, NC on January 13th during the evening hours (around 10:45 pm). I had a full cart of groceries (over $130 worth) and wanted to checkout at the cashier registers. The employees said that all of the registers were closed and I could only use the self-checkout. I asked them why and they told me they were short staff, however there were 5 employees standing in the front of the store not doing anything. I reluctantly proceeded to check myself out. The employees then began to watch me scan my items and laughed at me as I struggled with the machine. When I finally left the store, those same employees stood at the store window and taunted me with hand waves. I went back in the store to ask for the store manager’s name, but they could not provide me concrete information. I am very upset with the service and treatment I received from the employees.

Desired outcome: I hope that some disciplinary action can be done to prevent this from happening in the future.

Food Lion Management

Kelsey Nelson and Tyler Wood at store 0563 are very disrespectful to their employees and the management below them. Kelsey has a very bad attitude and Tyler does as well. They make it hard for you to go to them about any problem because they usually don’t care or brush it off or put the blame on you.

Kelsey has threatened to write me up just for walking away from her when she was giving me attitude.

Food Lion Road rage of food lion truck-dangerous truck driving of truck #4272

HI,

I do not expect road rage from Large semi trucks on the road and was quite scared/shocked of this incident by Food Lion Truck #4272 On October 22,2022 at 7:30pm EST near Mile marker 407, Sevierville TN. Interstate 40 was quite congested that evening when I was trying to get over to the far right to enter exit 407 going to Sevierville, TN. The car in front of me stopped and there was the Food Lion Truck right behind me. The Food Lion Truck proceeded to honk over and over, got right onto my bumper and then used his Bright beams for at least 2 minutes flashing them at me so that I could not see anything around me (it was pitch black and no other lights on interstate.) It was very much like road rage and it scared me since I was pinned between the truck and the car not moving in front of me (this exit is severely congested and cars can stop while it is bumper to bumper). The Food lion truck did not get off on that exit, but after showing his dominance on the road, proceeded to get in the second to the right lane to drive down I40 towards Asheville. Really this behavior was uncalled for and really was the most unprofessional behavior that I have experienced with a Semi truck, ever in my 56 years!

Desired outcome: I wish that you could speak to this driver so that he does not scare senior people especially on the interstate, maybe evaluate his anger issues.

While shopping at Food Lion #1653 as i do daily i was very dissappointed of the unprofessional driver from ADUSA truck # 3959. She cut my wife n i off pulling into the place n decided to try to swing the truck around but couldnt because ther was a truck pulled way off to the side, apparently taking their !0 hrs off (He had a sleeper, she didnt. She blew her airhorn for 10 minutes until she actually had to get out of her truck that she wouldnt have made it if he did move. She was totally rude and disrespectful it would have been the last time id let her deliver anything to my store. Have a great day. My name is Bill Johnston n can be reached at [protected]. Thank You!

Desired outcome: She deserves to be suspended for a few days and perhaps that may force her to be somewhat polite to Food Lions Customers!!
