Food Lion makes me appreciate ALL the grocery stores I have near my home.
I understand that I am probably spoiled with having Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Mariano's, and other stores of equivalent status. The vegetables and produce alone at Food Lion made me wish I had stocked up on the way down. All other areas are lacking, as well. I would rather do my grocery shopping at a Target, or dare I say...Wal-Mart. Crap, I said it.
Keep in mind that Cherokee is a dry county, which means you cannot buy any alcohol in their town. The Harrah's Casino is the only exception, but it's not like you can walk into the casino and order a bottle of wine or a 6-pack to go.
They also have money orders available, but it may take them ten minutes to notice you waiting, even with people working at the desk. After ten minutes of not being acknowledged, I finally spoke up and asked if I could be helped.
Everyone here seems to be in La La Land (yes, it's a place), staff and patrons. Children climb and hang like monkeys throughout the check-out aisles. Food Lion needs help...lots of it. read more
