PAY ATTENTION!
If you don't pay attention and take the time to connect with the people, you might miss out on some important information or the all important "hook-up".
Now that I am recognized at my favorite furniture store, I am often asked what I am looking for and told what is in the back waiting to come to the floor. Sometimes employees will tell you when the trucks deliver and what days are best for shopping. Sometimes you will be in the right place at the right time and "your people" will hook you up just because. The most interesting experience I had was arriving home and discovering an extra piece of jewelry added to my bag and knowing that it was not a mistake, due to the size and that fact that it was wrapped separately.
When we entered this store, I went straight to the deli in order to purchase my favorite wings and soup. Yes, they had plenty of fresh and hot mojo wings for evening visitors. I requested my standard order: 6 wings please. She informed me that the wings were sold by the piece and not the pound and told me what the price was for 5 and 10 wings, I said okay, I'll take 6. She repeated this again. While she is talking to me, I am only half listening because my husband is talking to me as well about the soup bar. Suddenly, I realize that she is trying to tell me something so I look directly at her and realize that she is trying to tell me that the purchase of 10 wings is a better value due to bulk pricing. Oooh! Got it! She gives us free samples and I of course purchase the 10 wings because why not? They are my absolute favorite and I will have plenty to share.
After returning to the hotel, I discover that somebody had hooked a sister up! Yes, I had more wings than I had actually ordered and I was elated. The wings were so big and meaty that we could not even finish them in one sitting. However, they proved to be the perfect late night snack.
Those wings were absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and perfectly baked. The vegetable soup was good too because it was hot and fresh and always pairs well with the baked wings.
I love having Publix as my favorite travel companion because when I can't find a restaurant, they never disappoint. No matter what time of day or where we are, if there is a Publix around we know that we will have something good to eat:, soups, fresh salads, chicken wings and fresh fruit. In addition, their employees are always kind and helpful.
Thanks Publix! read more
