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.
Sheesh folks. Don’t any of you talk to the people that work in your local Food Lion? Like the butcher or the manager?
While I’ll be the first to agree Food Lion is not exactly a “high end” supermarket, I can’t believe I shop in the only decent one with a butcher and manager who don’t do crapola like you describe.
