Food City - Poor customer service
Original review Feb 15, 2024
I when to the Food Coty in Erwin Tn. Arrived at 8:00pm, left at 8:38. There were NO registers open only the self check out. If I had know that I would not have the option to have some one check me out I would have gone somewhere else. However, our town is very limited. And I had to choose a store no where near me because the one here is not listed! VERY DISSATISFIED

Went to the Food City in Erwin Tennessee tonight. I got there about 8 oclock and checked out at 8:42 and there were no registers open only the self service check out. If I had known that I had to do my own work to check out I would have gotten much less food. Dont think I will go back to that store.

RUDE employee in store 603 in Church Hill Tn.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
An employee at the deli motioned me to come to the counter for a sample of deli ham. I spoke to her and she started asking me about my voice, asked me what my name was and was talking about how long my nails where. The tone of voice she was using was very rude! Anything personal about me was none of her business. . The manager should talk to his employees and inform them that they are there to do a job, not to comment on the way customers look or to ask them personal questions!

Misleading information

I received an email from Food City as a regular customer to participate in a survey. I completed the survey and was informed I would receive a 24 pack of food club bottled water, and even was shown a picture of the appropriate water with a purple shrink wrap added to my value card.

I have been to multiple Food City locations and they never have the 24 pack of bottled water in a purple food club wrap. The only purple wrap bottled water is a 32 count, so I guess that was just a way for survey's to be completed with no reward.

Preferred solution: More deli counter help. And not be given big clumps of sliced cheese.

Special order

We want International Delights Irish Creamer put on the shelf instead of cocoa puffs, etc. Coffee Creamer should be for adults, not kids.

I was promised a 24 pack of bottled water food club brand in the purple shrink wrap, but the item doesn't exist at any store. Don't take their survey it's a scam to get free surveys.

Poor customer service.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Too many young kids employed there. They dont care. Managers are not concerned with customers; they just herd the kids around. Usually I have to bag my own groceries. This is a poorly run operation. Period.

Cashier / ID

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Food City - Cashier / ID

The cashier called the manager after she took my drivers license for a 6 pack of beer,because she didn't think it was me in the photo on my driver's license,because I had glasses on but not in the photo!! I even took them off so she could my face Said I was suppose to have my photo taken with glasses,lol didn't have to wear them at the time of the photo what does that matter any way,I don't wake up every morning sit my driver's license on the bathroom sink and duplicate what i looked like the day of that photo,the manager said yes thats her,she still was arguing with him,then i paid with 2 $20 bills she checked them by marking x's on them both laid them down the counter looking at them even after she put them in her drawer kept looking at them like the pen mark was suppose to turn black!

I don't like being treated like common criminal when I get groceries I have never stolen any thing in my life,I have never printed fake money or had a fake ID!!

SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS IF SHE IS GOUNG YO CONTINUE WORKING THERE OR ANY WHERE ELSE. SHE IS LUCKY I WAS PATIENT AND DIDNT GET REALLY OFFENDED BY HER ACTIONS!

Some of the cashiers are terrible

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
She tried to charge us twice for postage stamps after they acted like it was such a bother for them to sell them to us. The young lady who we presumed to be there to bag our groceries literally stood there and watched us do it. The cashier was so slow it was easy to keep up with her. Store 710 - 10:46 AM - 4/8/2023 - Terminal 03 - East Ridge, TN.!!
