Food Lion Bad management

I worked at Food Lion in 37388. I really thought I would be there for a long time. I had a rocky start in my training. It was during a reset and some floor and painting work. I made allowances for that. Then a few weeks later I realized I would never get proper training if I was only given one day a week.
The I wanted to apply for a position that was a step up. I waited for it to be posted. I was told we would be told when we could apply. I ask about and was told it was already closed. I was crushed. A few days later I was told to work at the bagging end and help out. Then a short time later I was told I could do that; I need to stand at the other end of the registers. I mean what am I supposed to do?
The next day I was treated even worse. I was pushed from one place to another. I mean what is that all about. I was hurt. I wanted to accomplish something with my job. But when another employee let it slip that I was not liked and wanted to leave. I told myself that day I would never be back in the store again.
I have to go back one time. I will take back the shirt and get my pay. But I will never go back to Food Lion again.

Desired outcome: All new front end management

A horrible manager at foodlion. Her name is Apple, she's disrespectful to her employees... Harassing them and called them names and treated them horrible especially in foodlion to go. My daughter and I want her gone, she just is horrible. Not management material. She walks around when the lines are long. Very unprofessional, not working and they need to hire someone better

We went to the money order counter and a lady named tasia immediately copped an attitude. My husband and I split the bills on two separate cards. I have woodforest and he has chase. She took out the $800+ on his card only. She pretended to refund his card and then told me to enter card again. Another $800+ was taken out. My husband got a bad feeling as I...

Food Lion Customer service always closed

Everyday the customer service office is always closed. Whats the sense in having the slogan, always here to serve you if it's always closed. It's very aggravating and a big disappointment when you walk in the store expecting to be able to purchase money orders to put your bills in the mail and its closed. That's not serving the customers. Poor mgmt

Desired outcome: Customer service being open to serve the customers

Hello, I was at the Food Lion at 104 Highway 54 today in Carrboro and felt I was the victim of racism by the cashier. I am a white man and when I walked to the checkout the young girl, who is black, was gabbing it up with one of her friends, also an employee. When I started putting my groceries online I said hello as I always do but got only an ugly look...

Food Lion MVP Program and Shop and Earn

I frequently shop at Food Lion because it is close by and I've spent over $500 in the month of June, 2021. With each purchase I am supposed to be receiving credits for ‘Shop and Earn' in certain categories such as breads, frozen foods, meats and seafood, beverages, snacks and bakery, etc. after submitting multiple copies of receipts and requesting repeatedly I am still missing the bonus offers for two more categories and I'm tired of having to constantly send emails because some thing and Food Lion system is not giving credit to items that I purchase. Management in the store is unable to do anything and simply tells me to just "keep trying". Specifically, $30 spent in frozen food is supposed to garner a four dollar reward. In a single purchase I spent $22 in frozen foods and on the next trip another $18. I have exceeded the $30 needed to earn the reward and will have to send another email to plead with Food Lion to apply the $3.

Desired outcome: Please credit my purchases

Food Lion Sprite zero eight pack

I have written one complaint and have not heard back from your company. I would like to get this resolved. I purchased an eight pack of Sprite Zero on June 11th from the local Food Lion in Welcome North Carolina. I opened a bottle and it had a bad odor to it like an old urine odor. I wiped the bottle down and around the top, didn't notice the smell so I did drink the soda. I opened one the next day and noticed the same smell. This really concern me at that point so I reached out to the FDA I'm waiting to hear back from them and I also have written your company prior to this. Please reach back to me by email at [protected]@gmail.com

Manager reprimanding employee in front of customers. It is offensive and made me feel uncomfortable. It seemed humiliating and degrading for employee. No reason manager cant correct employee in an office not in front of customers. Appeared to be aggressive manager and no care for human dignity.

Good afternoon, I'm a residence of Mocksville, North Carolina where I shop at least twice a week at your Yadkinville Highway store. I noticed on Saturday January 23, 2021 that your hot food bar that sell chicken wings is open where anybody can walk up to it and spread germs (COVID-19) all over the food. In addition to this complaint, there are food tong...

Last I heard a mandate is not a law. The Governor of Virginia has placed many exemptions or exceptions as provisions for people that cannot wear a mask. Food Lion is now requiring people to wear a mask in their store which is an infringement on my human, civil and constitutional rights. Why is not the exemptions or exceptions also added to their sign...

Food Lion Mortons Lite Salt

Why have all the newly renovated stores in central VA changed so many products? One most needed is to re-stock Morton's Lite Salt. I have been using this product for years and now I have to order needed items from
Wal -Mart. I would much rather purchase this product locally. PLEASE consider
returning this item in your stores, please.
Thank you,
Lisa Wright

Food Lion Meat

My wife and I eat filet steaks three times a week .'Foodlions in Wilmington Carolina Beach Store
S are not selling filet, they are advertised as filet but you can't even fit them with a sharp steak knife .
You will lose a lot of customers including us that have to go to Harris Tetter,
They are ruining your reputation!
We spend a lot of money weekly on groceries and I wonder how much business you are losing with such terrible lying on your steaks !
