I can't understand why the regular checkouts are food lion are giving way to self check out even when you have a full buggy of food? This morning not one regular checkout register was open so I went to the self checkout section with a full buggy, not just 8 or 10 items.. Two employees not 15 feet away stood with their arms crossed talking to each other watched as me and 3 or 4 other customers did food lion employees ' jobs of checking out groceries, then bagging them up while those two employees looked like they were having a fun day at the park!. Why is this? Why are customers doing their job? What genius in management allows this? I know they are there to help if you ask for it but they ignore you otherwise, while getting paid right along.Oh well at least the local Ingles still appreciates their customers! So I'm off to ingles from now on even though it's a longer trip for me.

I was in a hurry today so I grabbed some hamburger and a steak. When I got home I decided to read the label, the label was so small, I couldn’t read it with a magnifying glass. I f you don’t want me to know what’s in your food, I can’t support you. I will return the meat and find a local butcher. Goodbye Food Lion

I was in Food Lion today. I used the self checkout because there's hardly ever any registers open. After checking out, I preceded to head toward the exit, when the wheels on the shopping cart locked up, causing meet to hit my leg on the cart. I could understand that happening if I were leaving the parking lot with it, but I was still in store. There was no apology from store personnel. It was an embarrassing situation. I should have followed my mind and shopped at a different grocery store.

We were in the store on 12/28/25 around 4 PM Rude floor manager.

I brought my own reusable bags to the Food Lion in Berlin, Maryland. The cashier rang up my groceries and pushed my items and my bags to the end of the bagging area, handed me my receipt and walked away from the register to stand at the entrance of the store. I turned to another cashier whom I think was the on-duty manager and asked if cashiers do not have to bag in reusable bags and her response was “ no they don’t. You can ask them to.” My response was that should be posted at the registers. If cashiers don’t bag in reusable bags, why does Food Lion sell them? This particular store doesn’t have any self-checkout registers. This store is in a town and county where recycling is mandatory. There are recycling bins outside the door of the store.

I went to Food Lion on 12/10/25 @12:51PM. 907 S. Chapel St. Newark, DE. They had 2 lines open. I had to wait 15 minutes in line, for 4 items, Meanwhile, there's 4 or 5 employee's just hanging out and talking in the customer service area. There was another guy behind me that had 2 items. The cashier from the 2nd open lane came over and got the guy behind me becasue he knew him. This is typical for this location. I call it the "ghetto" food lion. It's alway's filthy and they don't have an express, or self check out for that matter. This is definitly the last time I run in here to pick something up. I don't have the 45 minutes to an hour to pick up a couple of items. My cashier was very nice. But they are usually not at this location. My other experience with them, they were rude.

Meat quality is terrible! Ground beef, check dates and is spoiled when you get home. This has happened twice, and there is nasty gray Hamburg put all over inside! Chicken looks like it has been through a shredder!

Why are the plums tasting like water. Don't you guys test fruit before you buy from farmers. Also , why don't you put preserving pads under your red meats.You charge enough.
