Food Lion — Local services in Washington

Update 3/3/24 At self checkout close to an employee and she still stood over me as if I was stealing or needed to steal saddest thing is that they’re doing this to people of color and even sadder that it’s more white people who steal from the store than anything yall need to stop it’s going to get someone hurt and this is my last straw I’m calling corporate early in the morning UPDATE 7/16/23 EVEN MORE RACIST ESPECIALLY THE MEAT DEPARTMENT

Racist as hell only but a few white employees acknowledge you and that's because I know them outside of grocery shopping. You can present identification one day to a cashier return the next day get asked for same identification. I explained to my family that we'll no longer shop at food lion and continue to spread the word rather take my chances at Wal-Mart we're everyone is welcome. They either moved or got rid of the vast majority of black employees at this location anyways some quit do to lack of promotion because of color I've spoken to several Ms Beverly and Andre and another young man who chooses to drive a ice cream truck than remain a cashier. If it's NOT food pride or Wal-Mart than I'll be going to Greenville to Harris Teeter they have better...

Here's the deal. The cashiers are the best. Friendly, do their job, great. But two disappointing encounters with the men in produce and meat. Went to meat department where there was a great sale. I could not find anything. Asked the meat guy. He said, we're out. So why is the sign still up? He said something about more coming in blah blah blah get a rain check. When I went up to the cashiers they said, "We don't give out rain checks." ????!!!!! Went there yesterday to buy a watermelon. I asked the guy in PRODUCE if he was good at picking out watermelon. He just grunted something to the effect, I dunno know, and walked away. Huh!? So, IDK too. I am less and less impressed with the goofballs in their departments and think they maybe need to do some switching around and get those lazy dudes out of the back and upfront where someone can babysit them and teach...

This a great store with plenty of fresh selections! From the produce section, to meat- to health and beauty they’ve got it all. I can usually find any brand that I’m searching for when I shop here.

Staff is always helpful and ask if I’m seeking anything if I’m wandering down an aisle. They also give a friendly hello -just because -as they stock shelves.

This location is really convenient and in the center of town approximately. It’s only a short distance from the waterfront (1.5 ish miles) if you’ve come in by boat and are looking to provision. Reasonable distance if you’re on a bicycle to get to the store and back.

Their prices are great, and we’re able to fill our cart without breaking the piggy bank. We definitely recommend this Food Lion...
