Publix

This is my «neighborhood» Publix. It’s conveniently located on Hiatus Rd between Taft St and Johnson St. The parking lot is usually full, I guess because of the other businesses next to it. I rather go there in the early morning because it’s usually empty in the mornings… weekdays. On the weekends it’s usually packed. I usually have a good or okay experience when I go, but today I was annoyed by their customer service. I went to the express lane, where it’s 10 items or less… I have 8 items in my cart… but I also have a few EMPTY water gallons, to fill up on my own at the water machine. As I walked up to the counter the cashier… older lady… didn’t even look at me but looked at my cart and said“it’s 10 items or less, do you have 10 items or less?” Of course I was supper annoyed and proceeded to count the items out to her… EIGHT…I have EIGHT items. So she says what about those gallons of water, did you count them too? Uhhhmmm nooooo… because they’re empty and I am going to fill them up at the water machine after I get my groceries. So she was like uh ok. So that was that.
As I finished filling up my gallons of water, I took a few steps and stopped with my cart almost in front of the ice machine, which is next to the water machine. I stopped to look for my keys that were inside my purse so it literally would have taken me about a minute to find them and pull them out. As I’m standing there, one of the employees rushes up behind me with a cart full of ice, I guess he was going to unload it into the ice machine. He rushes behind me and tells me to move because he needs to get to the ice machine. No manners whatsoever. I see this guy there all the time, and honestly isnt the friendliest of them all, but at least ask in a nice way. It seems like every time I’m using that little area where the water machine is… the workers have to go and start doing something… lay down a carpet (early mornings)…or get, fill ice… it’s like… can you please just wait till your customer is done? I thought Publix was «where shopping is a pleasure?’ Well today was not so much pleasure. Ok so having said that… all of that… lol. It’s not super bad, since it’s small it’s crowded… especially on the weekends and in the afternoons.

I like publix but I don’t love this specific one, the parking is always full which im assuming its because of the Mayor’s Café next door. The employees are okay here but not as friendly as I’d appreciate, I don’t shop for much here since they don’t have many if any at all of options on organic produce.

One of my favorite supermarkets. They’re motto is «where shopping is a pleasure» and they live up
To it. They go out of their way for customer service. All employees know which aisle any item is and most of the time they we will take you where the specific item is located. The check out cashier always asks if you found everything fine and the bagger usually offers to take the groceries to your car for you.
Some of my favorite items:
Publix subs– very good. They are known for their subs and a lot of people come especially to Publix for lunch or dinner for a meal. My favorite is the buffalo chicken sub in which they take their fresh fried chicken, dice it up and slather buffalo sauce over it.
Deviled eggs — some of my favorite deviled eggs. I sometimes come her just for these. I will even have them as a snack for some quick protein even if I’ve already had breakfast. I like the packages with green olives better than black olives.

Publix, nothing to big but this one is great. Its a smaller size Publix not a huge one but everyone is so nice and helpful that it worth going to. They even have ordered something for me since they did not carry the item. Fresh bakery goods and awesome servie at the deli. The only thing is that it is small but over all a great Publix.

Very organized store. Everyone very friendly. Store smaller than most Publix.

This Publix is small compared to others in the area but its convenient location makes it my main grocery store. Their raisin challah is great! Just ask the ladies in the bakery to slice it for you.

This Publix is small and limited in selection. Also, for some reason they don’t cut their Wheat Bread which is just a shame because they have the best wheat bread and WHO doesn’t slice bread!!!
