Sat Jun 14 2025 Gadsden, AL. Appox 4:00 -5:00 pm I went to the deli no lines, four deli employees looked right me a offered no help, then the 4th employee out (I'm still looking at the chicken) these 2 ladies talking amongst themselves, pickup container fixing plates. WTH, I had been standing there for a good 3.5 - 4 mins, both of them looked me. The manager when I went to speak to him, said we'll walk over to deli with me they will wait on you with me standing with you. Mind blowing! Not worries deli I ill go to Publix or Johnson's food stores. Please look at your cameras and tell me I'm wrong, you don't have BAD customer service.
I went there four years ago and ended up with a parking ticket as did many people before and after me. So many people can not be dishonest in telling their stories. I warn everyone not to go there. It is a set up. I have not returned there for four years now. This kind of treating customers simply disgusts me. Any suggestions to improve signage are always ignored.
My wife registered for an online account with Food City. She ordered a Gift Cart as a thanksgiving gift and asked her son-in-law to pick it up at the Calhoun Georgia store. The charge for the gift card was already taken out of her account. They refused to give the gift card to her son-in-law and said that a gift card was not able to be purchased online to prevent scams. They took her money---who is the scammer here?
Food City is owned by greedy people. It used to be a wonderful place to shop but that died with the founder. They treat their employees badly and that is then funneled to the consumer. Every time I have walked in a FC store I can feel the terrible energy of the place. Love of money is evil.
For all you people who live in prestonsburg..
Don't use foodcity's western union..
I tried to use an international transfer and they were all up in my business about the person I was sending to..
Just because it was international..
What ever happened to that saying..
., the customer is always right..
Sorry foodcity..., but that was not right the way you all treated me about western union...
I'm a customer!
