I'm only giving 1 star, because I do not have the option to give zero. December 8, 2025. I stopped by this evening to get some deli meat sliced at 6:15. This is a time I would consider a grocery store's 2nd round of peak hours. I was told by the deli associate the deli was closed. I asked, for future reference, what time the deli closed. I was told, "It depends, you can get meat from the front counter." I looked and found what I wanted, however, the sell by date was the next day. This is unacceptable. I have been on that side of the counter and know what it's like to close the deli/bakery. I did my job, though, and sliced meat when I didnt really want to. I've never been one to complain, but I'm sick of corporations raping us in prices, and then the quality and customer service is severely lacking. I called the store once I got outside and asked to speak to the manager. I was told he was busy. I left my name and number and asked for a call back. I never received that call. Im so tired of dealing with Food Lion. The store opens at 7, but I can't get what I need at 7, because it is so poorly stocked, especially produce and meat. I spend more per month to feed greedy corporations than I spend paying my mortgage. I would love a little appreciation, as in getting what I need, because higher ups live good onthe shopper's dime. I promise Food Lion this, I will take my $1200 per month (on the low end) elsewhere. Publix and Harris Teeter will accommodate me at 6:30 pm, which i am sure is peak time for them too. Produce is always half rotten and the meat selection is horrible anyway. I work way too hard to settle for less that what I pay for.
