When Woodbridge resident Patricia Breeden first started as a cashier at her local Food Lion grocery store, Bill Clinton was president. On average, a dozen eggs cost less than a dollar, and a gallon of milk typically costs less than three dollars. The now 30-year employee of Food Lion says she’s seen a lot of changes in the grocery industry and was recently recognized by the grocery chain for her career milestone.
“I've seen a lot of changes in the last few decades, especially with the technology we use on a daily basis,” Breeden said. “And, of course, the prices have changed so much during that time, too.”
