It was fairly easy, hired me right away. They did not ask for references. I wore business casual clothes, but I could have gotten away with wearing a tee shirt and jeans. The manager was very nice, and it seems they would have hired anyone. It was a very easy process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what is your past experience working in customer service?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Food Lion (Midlothian, VA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Managers were very organized and down to earth. Very easy to talk to, friendly, and kind. Offered to give plenty of help on the job whenever I would start. We talked casually, so it took a lot of the pressure off of the prospect of interviewing, especially because I don't have a lot of interview experience.
Interview at Food Lion felt friendly, fast paced, professional; I highlighted reliability, teamwork, customer service, flexibility, availability, eagerness, learning, and retail experience during questions about shifts schedules growth goals culture

Interview
Pleasant interview process with Store Manager. Asked relevant questions to the position, as well as work history questions. The interview wasn't long and drawn out. Good experience overall for a person looking for a starter job.
