I love this place. I…read moreused to work at another business in the same plaza, so I came to Piggly Wiggly several times a week to buy snacks, energy drinks, etc. Because I normally used the self checkout (as I usually had only an item or two), I almost always encountered a certain gentleman who was supervising the area. I don't know his name. He's a middle-aged white guy, in good shape, and friendly. Every time I came in, he just treated me like a true friend -- not a customer service "friend," but a real friend. He asked me how my day was, joked around with me, gave me a genuine smile, and really made me feel welcome. This is the reason I come to Piggly instead of Food Lion most of the time.

Went to the Piggly Wiggly on North Heritage for some lunch meat and odds and ends.When I went to…read moreget lunch meat there was a young man behind the counter who was obviously a new employee.He was very polite and was trying very hard to do a job he was not familiar with.I told him what I wanted and he was doing the best he could when a woman came over and cut him off she turned to me and ask me to repeat my order. I told her the young man was already helping me. She turned around and asked him what I ordered then another lady came over and scolded him for using the wrong slicer.They both just looked at him and shook there heads.Thats not how you should treat new employees. Then when I went to the register the girl working there was telling people to get in another line cause she was already backed up. Long story short that's why we go to Food Lion the selection isn't as good but the employees are lots nicer.What a shame.Oh and the other Piggly wiggly downtown has the same quality employees The one star is only for the product not for the employees

I stopped here mostly because they had a Little Free Library according to the website, but the LFL…read moreseems to have been removed. So while I'm visiting, I checked out the store and bought some snacks. This seems like a relatively new store even if Dashawn's review was two years ago. It is clean and the floors are still bright. Merchandise is well stocked and the produce looked good. Prices are quite decent. Perhaps a little higher than Walmart but definitely lower than Harris Teeter. Good quality and a good selection. This isn't my regular shopping destination but I'd certainly make it one. [Review 15490 overall, 994 of 2021, number 3033 in North Carolina.]

I'm not really a Piggly Wiggly dedicated customer, I went there in hopes of finding something…read moredifferent for dinner. No "hellos", no "can I help you", no "thank you", no nothing. Today the prices are skyrocketing but at PW, they are OVER skyrocketing, it's almost to the point of price gouging. If you're looking for clean, this is the place, it is very clean inside but maybe it's clean inside because people don't want to go there because it's not the friendliest place I've been and even the cash register (self-checkout) isn't friendly, I couldn't remember where to enter my customer ID, finally found it... I also dropped my item on the scanner and we had an error, I had to wait until a group of workers that were talking about music on the checkout line beside me!! Finally she (I'm guessing the front end manager) saw that we needed help, after my husband said "yep, we're waiting on assistance" because the register says "please wait for assistance". She walked closer to the register but never came over and never said a thing and went back to her friends/workers and continued talking about music. I was at the store on 10/16/25 at 11:51AM R024. Terrible, as much as I hate that popular BIG store their prices are better and I do get greeted.

This Wal*mart is my favorite to shop at (yes, I have a favorite Wal*mart) because it's hardly ever…read more"busy". It's nice to be able to go into a popular store, find everything you need (and some of what you don't) without the hassle of fighting for a parking space, engaging in a battle-of-the-carts at every isle-way turn and being able to check-out at a relatively quick speed. True story.

If you ask for assistance, good luck finding one of their hidden employees. You're on your own…read more If you DO find one and ask where an item is, you'll get a reply like, "Somewhere in the electronics dept." I have heard their employees smoke marijuana and I stumbled across proof yesterday, riding my bicycle past 2 employees on a "smoke break". The smell of marijuana coming from one of them gave me the munchies, and I felt like going next door to order a large Papa John's pepperoni pizza.

#62/2023 Located along the eastern shore of North Carolina…read moreJust North of Kinston North Carolina about 20 minutes is your classic roadside grocery store Cafe. These are your classic general stores with hot plate lunches and breakfast served throughout the day It's a small little place in a small little town just outside of Ayden a industrial town. They no longer have diesel pumps of course have gas and alcohol beer sales etc. Big on people traveling home or to work locals. they were pulled up years ago but they do have truck parking a lot of local truck drivers Park and leave their stuff here. It has a very strong following of locals every now and then a traveler will pass through but for the most part this is very big with the locals. I was hungry I saw the truck parking I pulled in I came in and used the bathroom it was clean this is an old building. They had a hot deli bar with plate lunches that were just getting finished it would be about another hour if you wanted Burger hamburgers and more stuff cooked till the dinner lady comes in and Cooks things ready until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.. They had a still nice warm big giant chopped hamburger and brown gravy I got some nice hot french fries with brown gravy and it was very good. This is the kind of place where if you're a trial or you probably wouldn't pay twice a look and just Cruise right by headed up towards the main city. But it's classic little roadside stores that keep small little towns thriving.

For the last 4 mths I've had no choice but to shop at this store. I've reported them twice about…read morethe bad meats they are selling. Today I had to take back some hamburger that was spoiled.
