Food Lion — Local services in Locust

Not for the first time I witnessed an older white haired female clerk belittle someone checking out with a SNAP card. This time the embittered clerk seemed to be training a new employee. “So many people have these!”, she snapped when the customer was using card to check out, while rolling her eyes. The customer was humiliated. What is it to that clerk? Who is she to humiliate someone like that? She didn’t impress me with her hateful, demeaning attitude. The trainee wisely did not comment. I will be calling the store to make a complaint- it’s not first time I’ve know the clerks there to loudly judge people. It’s why many drive from Locust to Oakboro Food Lion. I hope the embittered clerk never needs SNAP (formerly food stamps) or if she does, that she is treated more kindly than she...

I recently moved to Locust and have been using this Food Lion for my grocery shopping ever since (about 4 months), I use Basil ALOT in my meals.

I shop here weekly. Nothing like calling to ask if they carry a product and hearing someone who sounds annoyed on the other end then when they tell me no they don't carry it, I say kindly ”okay thanks, have a nice day and hearing click. Just hang up on me why don't you. I mean it doesn't take much to end the call without being rude. I'm not going to lose any sleep over her not saying ”okay, you too” in return but I'm the customer, you shouldn't make me feel like I'm bothering you. That's your job! We all have jobs. We all work. Don't be rude to customers!...
