The Lion of Food



Yesterday was our 3 month anniversary, which means we've been getting our groceries at Food Lion for about the same time (though we also get them at farmer's markets, target, wal-mart, etc...). We only live a mile from Food Lion and since we pass it at least twice a day we end up there often - on average at least twice a week (if not more).

We've both noticed that while most of the time the cashiers are very friendly, we occasionally get a cashier that extremely rude and actually seems mad at us (and the same cashier will have been nice the visit before and the next trip).

As we made our way to the check out aisle today we noticed (for the first time in maybe "40 times," according to Karis), that two of the 8 aisles had "express lane" signs above them.

The signs aren't near the lane number or the register or the counter, but instead are hanging from the ceiling in the worst possible spot.

We're now wondering if our rude service has stemmed from the fact that we've taken whole shopping carts through the express lane before.

We've also seen a lot of other people take cart loads through there before, so we wonder if other regulars are just as lost as we were.

(ps. Karis just got back from a second trip to Food Lion and said she was about to write a post saying this same exact thing, and just said she's going to write a letter to the company.)
