I normally love almost any publix I go into. Some are shiny new and perfectly organized, others the people there are just the nicest and most helpful you'll ever meet, and even some publix's are both! Unfortunately I have a bone to pick with this publix. It is a nice publix at first glance, but some things are disorganized, and if you ask someone where things are, they look at you as if they have no idea what your talking about, and all I ask for was turkey slices. Needless to say I was taken down the wrong isle twice and just ended up looking for it and finding it myself.
Now that that is said and done, here is the real reason I'm writing this review. I go eat lunch there 2-3 times per week, because you just cannot beat those publix delicious chicken tenders. BUT literally every time I got get lunch at the deli, they take FOREVER. The staff can be a little slow at times, but the main reason is there is too little people working during those times. I wait patiently like everyone else because I have the luxury and patience in hand, but I can only imagine people rushing, I would go nuts. Here is what really drives me CRAZY though... Literally every single time that I have gone with the exception of once, has the soda cups and condiments been filled. Every single day I got the cups are never in the cup dispensers, they're just thrown somewhere in a dirty mess, and always one size no options as their should be. Then the condiments are always missing or there is just a couple packs of mustard, never any ketchup, or anything else for that matter. Forget about it if you want a fork, knife, or napkin, because God forbid they give some of those out for free. I've had to ask on multiple occasions the woman giving out free samples in the front for a fork and napkin, because she has but they don't in the deli.
To make things more frustrating, I have taken the time out of my day to call the manager TWICE, and explain the situation back there, and how simple it is to fix if they just refill the trays throughout the day. The manager ensured me both times it would be taken care of and explained that the cup dispenser has been broken for a couple of months and that they ordered a new one so the cups would be in their proper place soon. It's been 7 months since the first time they said that to me, the cups continue to be thrown about, with the exception of the day after I first spoke to the manager, when they neatly stacked the cups and had everything available, but ever since that day, it's has continued as before. Just frustrating to me, something so simple, but necessary for people who go eat lunch there. read more
