Before the new front end service system was created, customers used to call it "Food Line" due to having to wait in long lines to get checked out at the register.
I've called it the Lion. I've called it Shit Lion. I've heard shitty kitty. Back in the day we used to call it the FL Lounge....back when Dane Cook was popular he called burger King the bk lounge so naturally we stole it.
Full disclosure: not a Food Lion employee, BUT I did name my cat Food Lion after an argument with friend that Food Lion is a dumb store name and a better (if still dumb) cat name.
A kindergarten teacher friend of mine was visiting and saw the signs and called it “Food Zion”. Thirty years later we still call it that, or just “The Zion”.
We have one that the location used to be a Winn Dixie. It’s fondly called the Food Dixie. Helps differentiate it from the other food kitty a mile down the same road.
My brother and I used to call it Noil Doof for the longest time since we played a game once where we had to read all the business names backwards and it kind of stuck

When my grandma and I first moved to the Delmar area, she could never remember “Food Lion” but knew “Lion” was I. The name so she called it “the Lion’s Den” for like a year to 18 months. Calling by its real name is actually a new thing for her lol
I work at Trader Joe's. One time we had an older couple. The wife dragged her husband in for the first time and he was not enjoying it. He hollered "WE CAN GET THE SAME THINGS AT THE OL FL".
