At one of the stores, they used bleach to remove the ink on the expiration dates on the chicken packages. Then they’ll write in a different expiration date by hand in pen. I’m not joking.
Yep, Food Lion is something else. My wife and I called them "The Experience", because whenever one of us got back home from shopping there, we would say "You won't believe the experience I just had at Food Lion". Their green bacon was quite a sight.
The law of supply and demand caught up with them locally. We have a nice supply of decent grocery stores, so the populace demanded that Food Lion take a hike.
