“I cannot believe I am writing this!! I detest going to any Food Lion! I have never been assisted when I am looking for something. All the employees are rude as heck!
However, a friend gifted me a few of their gift cards. I spent one close to me, and the experience was horrible. Today I needed to grab a few things. My little one is graduating Pre-K tomorrow, and I’m making a few dishes for her as a dinner celebration. So I decided to go to the one in Cary.
I wasn’t having a terrible experience but still nothing to write home about (I usually shop at Publix for this reason)
Any who I am on the hunt for liquid smoke, which has eluded me both times I was on aisle 1. So I’m going by the registers, and a few cashiers are standing in front of their lanes, and I pause and ask one where I might find the liquid smoke. I show her a pic, and she says, “Hold on and pull up the app on her phone.” Shamefully, I admit I did not know they had an app, but that tracks as most food stores have an app now. She says it’s on aisle 1, and I say I have been down it a few times and I must be overlooking it. As I prepare to walk away and head back to aisle 1, she asks if I would like her to help me find it. 😲
I say yes, she hits her light (no one is in line at the moment) and comes to help me find it. Which we did, and I definitely overlooked the very tiny bottle 🫠.
She was free when I went to checkout and was super pleasant and very sweet to my daughter, who she gave stickers. This lovely lady’s name was Jessica. She made my trip I usually dread a wonderful one! Thank you so much!! Truly!!!!!!”
“Even though this Walmart is not the closest one to my house, this Walmart is my go-to. The friendly staff there makes the Neighborhood Walmart more like a Home Walmart. The last time I went I was helped by a very kind-hearted staff woman named Leera. I will be coming back and telling my friends.”
“Had a wonderful experience at Spices Hut Indian Groceries and Restaurant. The chef was kind enough to prepare a fresh vegetarian biryani for us, and it was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The masala chai was authentic and one of the best I've had in a long time. We also tried the paneer curry and dal, both of which were outstanding and tasted homemade. Great food, warm hospitality, and a truly satisfying meal. Definitely a 5/5 experience!”
“So pricey, but so good you can’t resist! One I just love my shopping experience here each and every time. Between the train, various quick food options (subs, sushi, etc), and quality food, you really just can’t beat it.
Being in Durham, it is a very easy drive straight up Davis Drive. Going in the early morning is my preferred option, however! I have made the mistake of coming on a Sunday evening to shop. It was met with basically almost no produce for top items like avocado for example. And this is not a bad thing to the store- I think it’s a true testament that a lot of people find value shopping here so much so that on certain shopping days you just won’t find certain things you need because it’s out of stock.
I would come a lot more if it did not get as packed as it did. The store doesn’t fill pack because it’s so big but parking becomes annoying when you go during peak hours and that’s a big push for me to not go.”
