Publix

Best publixs service with knowledgeable people wonderful service they even cut t bones steaks for me thinner when I asked love the meat department by far hands down best publix glad I’m only 5 min away

This is usually a good store but I bought chicken that wasn’t expired and I brought it home to cook it and it smelled terrible. I had to return it.
I do love the deli lady. She is helpful and recommended cheese I’ve never tried and let me taste it, so I bought it.

This is my go to market. The staff is friendly and the store is always very clean. My reason for three stars is this store has a small foot print and doesn’t carry all the items of the larger Publix but what troubles me is they are frequently out of the items they carry. This makes the store unreliable as a one stop trip. The have been out of items for weeks on end.

Here’s one thing I love about this store: Olga! What a customer service dream she is!
I happen to be a fan of the smaller Publix locations (I fondly refer to them all as Mini Publix). While the selection is obviously going to be smaller, I just like that they tend to be less crowded and the employees seem more customer service oriented. Also, the parking lot is not a game of dodgecar like the Publix at Holcomb Bridge and Peachtree Parkway.
Be careful with the produce — it can be a little iffy at times, but the one time this happened to me I brought it back and exchanged it with no issues.

No hassle and fast check outs. Lots of great beers to choose from.

This is a much smaller location than the rest. Employee’s are nice but the store is crowded & cramped. In fact the whole area is kind of iffy. I like Publix but don’t really like this location.

I choose the «2-​star» (I’ve experienced better) Unilocal option for this review because I really HAVE experienced better and it has usually BEEN HERE.
I have been a customer at this Spalding Corners Publix since it opened in this old «A+P» location.
I generally prefer this location to the one that is east on Holcomb Bridge, but over the last several months, it appears BOTH locations have had management come and go and I find the state of service at the check out registers to be at an all time low.
In this Spalding Publix, I have often taken my items to «customer service» to pay when the front check outs are crowded.
On Friday, Sept. 30, I attempted to do just that. There was only one regular register open and one «express» … I prefer not to use the express if I have over 10 items. So, there were two employees behind the «service» desk and no customers at the desk.
I wheeled the cart to the «service» desk and the woman told me that I had too many items to pay there. This is literally the first time I have been refused in all the time I have been coming here. (I only ask to be rung up at ‘customer service’ if the regular check-​outs are swamped or if I get a feeling of impending problems at the front … I don’t ‘abuse’ the ‘privilege’ of utilizing the «service» desk as a «check out“‘ because — god forbid — the service desk actually provide a little extra ‘service’?)
She told me to use the express lane. I told her they need to open more registers. She told me «the computer tells them how many registers to open»… well it must be a windows computer because those are frequently wrong.
It’s approximately 4.30 pm on Friday afternoon, ostensibly the beginning of evening rush and they only want one register + express open? Does that make sense?
She proceeded to walk me over to the express lane, and then she noticed the people who were already there had more than 10 items. During this runaround, I had realized I really didn’t need this stuff and when she finally decided she would open a third register to help me I just said «I really dont need this stuff» and left for her to returen to the shelves.
Another odd practice that has become evident at Publix over the last year or so is the cashier query of «did you find everything you were looking for?»
What if the answer is no?
Then they dispatch an (equally clueless) bag boy to find the missing item in the Publix haystack? Because thats what it amounts to; I really feel like if I can find the item myself or have someone on the floor do it before I check out, then what use it for someone at the check outs to do so?
This note is a heads up to management at both locations of Publix. Your shelfs are stocked and floors are clean but your front end experience is leaving a lot to be desired.

David O. is correct: this is a smaller than average Publix, more like the ones found ITP. That being said, I can usually find what I need here. I do occasionally have problems when I’m looking for something like an ethnic ingredient for a specific recipe. However, it’s the closest supermarket to my house and I visit often. When I need something hard-​to-​find, I go to the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market.
