Food lion Complaint - Compliant - grocery store

grocery store - Complaint
Review by wwpkwlnb on 2009-12-07
ALL -- Having read the opinions before me I very much agree with those already expressed, I have yet to find a food lion related grocery store that met the logical requirements of friendly service and NO WHERE IN THE COMPANY have I found that this company requires employnees to be dressed=== in an approprite way ===either in the so called cooperate office or in the public: the grocery store is where they expect we will spend our weekely grocery budget ----- what the public does not know is that the same standard of respect and dress code AND common sense of daily bathing and being appropriate that we were MOST all raised with , stills does not apply to the high tower of those in charge. sorry, but it seems that if it does no apply there then maybe we should not expect that is should apply to our FRESH FRUIT, VEGEATABLES, MEATS AND PLEASE FORGET THE SO CALL DELI ------THE BIGGEST JOKE IN THE STORE==================EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THE YELLS AT YOU AS IF YOU WERE IN CICIS PIZZA-------------DON'T WE ALL WANT TO BE YELLED AT WHEN WE WALK INTO A GROCERY STORE WITH MAYBE OUR LAST DOLLAR TO FEED OUR FAMILY AND THEN TO WALK OUT HAVING BEEN TREATED LIKE A LOWER THAN SECOND CLASS HUMAN BEING-------- especially by someone that did not even choose to spend a portion of what we just paid them to buy a bar of soap and use it before they returned to work the next day

First of all, I don't really know what your complaint is about. Second, Food Lion is OK, I usually get loss leader deals there(and they are GREAT deals). I've never had an employee YELL at me.

OP, you don't list a location, so this review, to me, is not very helpful.

Sorry about the above "no comment." The Food Lion that I go to is the exact opposite of what the OP suggests.

I can't figure out what the op is suggesting

The complaint has something to with with someone or something being dirty but I'll be dammed if I can figure out which..

From what I can gather the OP is into body odors and a wannabe fashion critic who strolls around the store with a dollar bill in their hand feeling a sense of entitlement.

I have a dear friend who is an assistant manager at a Food Lion store, and he advises me that you are 180 degrees out in your verbose complaint. He told me they just fired an employee who refused to meet the dress standards of the store. Maybe you just have a store that needs to be investigated by corporate. BTW, the caps do nothing to make your complaint more believable. In fact, most people will spot them and just go on to the next post without reading yours. Trying to read all caps gives me a monster headache, although I cannot speak for others.

My Food Lion is wonderful! Always clean and the employess are so very nice and helpfull ^_^

Like a lot of places that are chains, not everyplace will be good, not everyplace will be bad.

The best thing todo if you don't like the Food Lion near you (or any Food Lion) is try the different stores around you to find one you do like.

Good luck!

i'm wondering what exactly was this "inappropriate dress" that the employees were wearing

and more importantly...

i'm wondering if they were even employees?

My store does an excellent job pleasing the public. We are all neat, wear uniforms, and well groomed. I can't say as much for the customers who treat us like trash, berate us, and torment some of the others. Customers have been known to abuse employees and make female employees cry on many occasions. But I hate it nonetheless, the managers are very cruel people who want nothing to do with their employees, and make ridiculous rules.
