Took a meeting with the Food Lion CMO once and I have never seen a person care more about their customers’ wellbeing than her

Food lion prices almost never disappoint either.

Forgive me for slightly being that guy, and I only found out about this over the summer as I worked with them briefly, but Fair Food Standards Council is a great resource for worker led social responsibility and what grocery outlets practice it

Also the history of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers is crazy cool and something I figure you would be totally interested in (they're basically the parent of FFSC)

I live in the midwest, but I have family in South Carolina. As a child, I would get so hyped when we would visit them because I got to go to Food Lion. My parents and I came up with our own jiggle to get us hyped for it. Never let them take the joy of Food Lion away from you

BOGOS AND HOT SALES FTW

If Food Lion is not run by an actual lion, I will be very disappointed.

supbruss.bsky.social•3 days ago

i mean it's not like people have a choice about what grocery stores are local anymore, if there are even grocery stores at all

not-meowth.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've not been to a Food Lion in ages! Takes me back.

I'm too deep in the Ingles cult now.

If he does suck ball it doesn't mean he is a bad person he could be a generous lover

I salute this joke as I was going to make it myself

The food lion CEO sucks balls!

hamiltwan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is there a CEO of one of the grocery stores that doesn't? I mean, Jeff Bezos owns Whole Foods, the Publix lady is a neo-confederate, and while I'm pretty sure "Trader Joe" was supposed to be a hippy, I bet it's owned by GloboSteelBombAndPolution Corp now.

Also, there's the owned chain Winco

*employee-owned

augustinemerganser.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Butts (real name) who own HEB are supposed to be really good people.

It's owned by one of the Aldi companies, AldiNord. Thry run the Aldis in much of Europe.

AldiSud runs the Aldis in much of the English speaking world.

A long time ago, the two Aldi brothers had an amicable split, resulting in the two companies.

Can I just use this post to tell you that I think it's tight you're playing with Rilo Kiley in Raleigh?

hamiltwan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wait, he's what?

mhuzzell.bsky.social•3 days ago

I mean they're a CEO, so it's likely, but I'm not. I'm instead going to point you to one of my weirdest finds on the internet, of late:

watchingpreacher.bsky.social•3 days ago

are there CEOs who dont?

styrso.bsky.social•3 days ago

But they’ll be delicious crispy rice balls.

the last time i was in a food lion i bought pop tarts. they only had strawberry with no icing and there was a dead moth in the box

crawdadinspace.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've eaten a lot of that cereal, and i definitely prefer it to the overpriced name brand with the smaller, less full box. (Their ceo probably sucks, too.)

pennylane086.bsky.social•2 days ago

Plus they have Shop and Earn where they give you money if you buy things your were going to buy anyway.

pennylane086.bsky.social•2 days ago

Food lion is the best. 90% of their store brand items are better than name brand. I will miss food lion when I move.
