“Another visit to our local Food Lion. Pre-Independence Day, the store is running some great specials on holiday essentials -- large seedless watermelons for $2.49, corn on the cob (4 for $1), and Turkey Hill ice cream (2 for $6). All were in stock and looking good.We were less successful in finding some items from our shopping list. I needed some specific produce items for recipes that weren't on the shelves -- eggplants, mung bean sprouts, scallions -- though they often carry them. While the latter two items were not in stock, we got exceptional service from a young man who was stocking items in the produce section. He ran back-and-forth to the back, with a smile on his face, to see if any of these items were there, waiting to be put out on the shelves. He found eggplants for us, and also an estimate for when the other items would be coming in. We love that this Food Lion is now selling fresh organic herbs -- basil, cilantro, mint, rosemary, and more -- that are still in small pots with dirt. We purchased a mint one for $3.49, which provides a larger quantity of fresh product than the small amount in the plastic containers. We also wanted to buy a basil one but many of the basil leaves were shriveled and dry so we opted for one of the small plastic containers. I also needed some specialty items -- and was unsuccessful in finding coriander seeds, star anise, and rice vermicelli noodles. The latter seemed to be sold there but were out-of-stock. Sigh, I've just had to order these three items online from a large retailer.A final note. We had a pleasant check-out experience. The line was short, the cashier was VERY friendly and efficient, and our bill was correct.”

“A quick stop at Walgreens today, to talk with the pharmacist and to pick up some toothpaste. Re. the pharmacy. My husband had a one-time prescription filled at this Walgreens pharmacy a few weeks ago for a medication to prevent altitude sickness for an upcoming hiking trip to Nepal. It was a one-time prescription with no refills. Our Walgreens on-line account is also set to "no automatic refills." However, we have been receiving a large volume of irritating emails and texts from Walgreens asking us to pick up a refill for this prescription. Using the online "cancel" feature was not successful, so we dropped into the pharmacy to ask the pharmacist to correct this. It appears to be corrected now although there was no explanation for how this happened and how to prevent it in the future. We also picked up a toothpaste, which was on sale. The check-out clerk was friendly enough, but I was disappointed that she didn't ask whether we wanted to use our Walgreen Rewards Points, as I had forgotten to mention this.”
