Food lion needs more hours for their employees
SUPERMARKET CASHIER (Current Employee), Verona, VA –
Pros: i work with my friends, and i get to be in a familar area.
Cons: less hours than i want
I love my fellow employees that I work with but sometimes they weren't realiable all the time. I learned how to opperate a register and despense money to my customers. The hardest part of my job at first was to opperate the register and to go fast like my fellow co-workers. The most enjoyable part of my job would be working with the public.

Productive in providing what the customers need
Cashier (Former Employee), Forest , Va –
Pros: customer interactions, communicating
Cons: short brakes
I would say a typical day at work for me is coming to work in a positive attidude, cashiering and bagging grocieries. I would say ive learned to connect with customers on personal levels and stay calm no matter what and that the customer is always right. My co-workers are responisible and always aware of customer needs and wants. The most enjoyable – more...  part about work is seeing the smiles on the customers face. – less

Slow, Easy to learn
Cashier (Former Employee), Kernersville, NC –
Pros: customers
Cons: nothing to keep you busy on slow days
Everything I feel about this job was mainly common sense. Our management was great, we had elderly to very young managers. Our co workers ranged from very different groups of people, but we knew how to work together. The hardest part was not falling asleep after doing all of the duties, the most enjoyable part learning cooking secrets from customers.

Fun and easy job.
Head Stocker (Former Employee), Culpeper, VA –
Food lion is a very good company to work for because it seems as though it is easy to move up in the company. The hardest part of working there is that you have to work around all of the customers so the first of every month is a really busy day, but i am sure that is everywhere not just food lion
