    Dried up chicken legs

    Person at the self checkout

    I have been visiting this store for many years. I have had pleasant experience so far except for today at the self checkout counter. I waited right at the board that says line forms here and then when a lane opened up I went down to it. The attendant at the self checkout came screaming and yelling that there was another lady infront of me(I was right where the line started and did not see her to the side). I was taken aback for a second as I did not realize what was happening and just see a women yelling and screaming coming at me. When I grasped the situation I took a step back to allow the other person and then turned to the employee to say she need not yell at me and could have told me in a normal way for that she had I don't care attitude. I had a nice chat with the manager who said this is not the first incident with her behavior and would have a talk with her. This has been my store for years and never had this kind of racism happen to me until today hope this behavior changes. Location: Safeway at people's plaza

    The coupon for the pampers product at the store
    Tiff S.

    Safe way customer service is terrible, Bias to a certain category of customers. A employee named Antoinette refuse to assist me with downloading to use a digital coupon for certain product. Than she stated will manually apply the discount since she was unable to provide guidance on how to use it on the application. She also informed me it was forbidden for her to use her discount for me, which I didn't ask her to apply to my check out, I just wanted what the store was promoting. The discount she was trying to apply was $3 lesser than the advertisement on the $5 off after spending $25. I informed the market associate Antoinette the discount she was trying to apply wasn't correct and she scanned her badge in the cash register edit a increase dollar amount, instead of a decreased. After that moment the employee stated you wasn't going to assist me anymore due to her being frustrated and worked all day and walked away. She still use her discount for another customer besides me on their self check out order, after she wasn't able to help me. I had to manage to find the coupon on the app myself and use.Than Antoinnette asked another employee to assist me and that cashier stated the $5 off after spending $25 only applies when I buy $25 Pampers participate products. Why wasn't I informed that with Antinnetto after spending over 15 mins trying to download the digital coupon off the app. Where if I new this information I couldn't been left the store and paid my bill. That is deceitful marketing practicing and should be changed or the employees should be better trained on how to relay this information to the customer . The only good thing about this market is the bakery department. I had other issues with self checkout employee in the past as well that I won't get into. Also, the hot food area like the pizza is nasty, one lady pick up the pizza with gloves on, at the same time touching the Dirty surface and viewing her Mobile device in front of customers. The sushi area and bakery is the best departments to visit there. Safe way has good products. But some employees at this location is terrible and I refused to visit this location only for a very special occasion . 2400 Peoples Plaza Newark, DE 19702 United States

    I really like this Food Lion on route 40. The prices , although higher than they used to be like…read moreeverything else, are still cheaper than the nearby grocery stores. They usually have enough cashiers so you don't have to wait long. In general the cashiers are quite pleasant, especially my new favorite lady but I don't know her name. She's an older black lady with glasses, average height and weight with a GREAT personality. She's so funny I always leave the store laughing out loud. She's very pleasant indeed, a real sweetheart. In the deli if I ask for a half pound (of anything) I usually end up with a bit more than that , between .53 to .58 , which is annoying because I live alone and don't need extra. I wonder if they've been told to do this-slice a bit more than what was asked for since it happens so often. Also I find it hard to open my plastic bag of cheese or lunch meat from the deli because of how they wrap it. It's always a struggle to open the plastic bags from the deli and I can't figure out why. Depending on who's working you may get waited on immediately with quick slicing, or you may get someone who doesn't mind making you wait. Always check your receipt. I've been overcharged numerous times and tonight was no exception, this time for $6.99. Those overcharges add up. They're very nice and polite and will give you back your money but it would be better if everything rang up correctly in the first place. I really like the store. It's clean, it's laid out in a logical manner, it's fairly small for a grocery store which I think is great, and they usually have in stock everything on my list. There's a few annoying hiccups here and there at Food Lion on rte. 40 but overall it's a great place to shop! I just noticed-Yelp had the Pencader Plaza store listed twice and the route 40 store isn't listed at all.

I didn't replace of course. Something told me to go back in store after completing my shopping and come to find out the manager of cashiers took this chicken and put back on circle area to sell, meanwhile this was contaminated from falling on dirty floor! I advised a worker by Deli and they were upset and removed it and discarded the item! Somebody has brains and cares about your customers and it sure wasn't management! I have had nasty responses from other deli workers when just asking if anyone else was working the deli area? The tall Black man, decided to scream with his deep loud voice in front of customers "when I am done with what I am doing I will be over there to help! Then the red head female worker with glasses who has a disposition that should never be hired for a customer service job decided to chime in with nasty yelling comments at me from the opposite end of the counter! I told her "Was I talking with you? No so don't get involved and she continued to mouth off. I was so upset because reason I asked is one person working, customer getting large order and two before me. That is only why I asked but didn't tell the man, which was no gentleman but rather an animal!! I have been told both him and her do this often! I went to the manager and I can't guarantee nothing was done! My name is Linda Brennan and I swore I wouldn't shop there ever again! I haven't since and this is a normal talk about your store! It has been dirty also...you need to fire all the managers!!

Spoke with manager, equally unpleasant and unreasoning. My wife and I have been members of Newark Natural Foods since 1990. Both of us are retired nurses with 31 years of practice. While taking precautions in light of the Pandemic is appropriate, the staff and manager are acting in a manner that is mean spirited and inappropriate. There is a doctrine that every nursing board in every state follows to the letter: The Nurses's Practice Act, specifically states: "What the reasonably Prudent Nurse would do" The operative word is "Reasonably". By the harassment the that I've experienced on my visits suggests that neither Management nor Staff understand the concept of Reasonably Prudent. Fear and paranoia have swept aside all reason and have thoroughly alienated this customer of 23 years. I'm not sure how many customers have been dealt with this inappropriately. Perhaps if their profits plummet and insight prevails they might start treating their customers in a more fair, understanding snd friendly manner.

Fantastic selection, so much frozen food as well which makes it even better than other markets with international foods. Easy check-out experience as well, which wasn't always true in the past and one reason I stopped going. Put this place on your rotation and you won't be disappointed, a must-visit in the area! Star off for seeing a few products from different countries without ANY labels in English. I don't know if this is even technically legal in Delaware, maybe someone can let me know since I routinely shop in 5 different states and can't keep up. When I lived in England for sure they had to print out labels in English to stick onto food packages if there was no English already printed on them----and basic nutrition info as well (like our RDA's... this was like 20 yrs ago I'm only guessing this is still true). Seems reasonable, and the products I often saw with these labels were still inexpensive at warehouse-style stores in England. What about allergies? Or just knowing what the main ingredients are?
