Dreary rainy day. Soooo....may as well hit the grocery task. Been in a 'food rut' for a while. Knowing the exact isle/shelf doesn't make for a great deal of 'grocery experimentation'!
I haven't been a regular shopper here for an extended time frame, and I wouldn't have made a change if it had not been for my previous grocery stop making a demographic shift in selection and quality. Now I'm wondering why I didn't make the change AGES ago? Would have avoided the afore-mentioned 'food-rut'!
Publix: The isles are wide, which allows plenty of room for easing past the label-readers; not quite 'three-wide' - but close. (Think Darlington, not Talladega.)
There's a wide selection of food and nonfood items, placed in the usual grocery-grid pattern. Pricing and unit info is well-placed and easy to read.
Not only will an employee offer directions to an item, they'll offer to GUIDE you to the item! This is good, 'cause they often mention specials you've overlooked. This comment applies to both the golf-shirted stocker-sorts, AND the dress-shirt employees.
About the 'repackaging' mentioned above: If you need three steaks and the package has five; NO PROBLEM! They'll happily repackage the 3 of your choice. Same with veggies!
Wow! This store actually offers decent, freshly prepared sushi! I'm NOT a fan of grocery-store sushi (generally, it stinks!). I prepared to hold my breath as I walked by, but then I saw the sales counter: "Oh myyy!" Clean-clean-clean! Spotless, with a pleasant lady behind the counter who knew her stuff!! (Sushi, wasabi, and Kirin on an early autumn afternoon, as I write this review!!!).
Why is it that far too many public businesses treat the human function of visiting the restrooms as an afterthought, or worse, an annoyance? Not so at Publix! They're in the front, so mommy, daddy, or granddad, can make a quick nappy-change for the wee-ones on-site, rather than driving home! And...Yes, Mr Grocer, even us old codgers need a spot for an occasional "pit-stop"!
I remember when one walked into the grocer's -handed a list over the counter, and waited while a clerk pulled the items from the shelves behind the counter. Potatoes still had dirt on them; bananas were cut from a big stalk hanging from the ceiling. Fruits came and went with the seasons. What changes time has wrought!
We live in a wondrous age of grocery goodness, wonderfully exemplified at Publix!
