Cons: So much of the food was rotten, store was absolutely filthy, the employees were unprofessional and rude, and bathroom was gross. It was very obvious that the locals do not like tourists which is a shame because tourism brings money to the community. I could not get over how dirty the place was. We were not comfortable buying meat because if the staff cares so little about the stores cleanliness what are the chances that they care about food safety? Pay a little extra money and shop somewhere else.

It's just too much trouble to shop here.

It's especially annoying because of their high prices. It's the only game in town so they charge what they want. When I first moved here, I tried to order a bucket of chicken from there only to be told that they were out of chicken breast. I replied, that's fine, just fill it with what you've got. Her reply was that they aren't allowed to do that. I asked what I could order instead and she informed me that I'd have to buy each piece individually. This Saturday I needed rolls and didn't want to drive all the way in to clayton. I picked up rolls off the rack in Hiawassee. A few hours later I took them out of the package and the bottoms were covered in mold. I realize it's my fault for not checking. It's been a while since I needed to check and I just didn't do it. But at this point I won't go back. Not even in an emergency.

We've been shopping at Publix for…read morethree decades, and I knew Carol Barnett personally, but i will never again return to THIS location-despite the sincere apologies from the very kind store manager and a very sympathetic CSR Savannah - because ONE rotten apple employee. After a fabulous afternoon birthday tea with friends, I popped into Publix Waynesville. The lines were long, so I opted for self-checkout. Packing bags , I was admittedly was slow and deliberate as I am not good at "bagging". I also looked to note that items were being rung up properly (ex. BOGO) so it probably took me about 5 minutes to ring up a full trolley of goods and pack them. As I was placing the receipt into my purse and preparing to vacate the spot, an employee came up and loudly announced that she "did not see me ring up my paper towels" and demanded the receipt. This is something that she HAS THE TECHNOLOGY to check without uttering a word to me. It was an obvious attempt at public humiliation (why?). Several people put their head on a swivel to see the drama of someone loudly being accused of shoplifting paper towels. I wanted to crawl under the register and die, but I could only manage to hand her the receipt and put my head down. After the employee saw her obvious mistake, she only said "okay, thank you" and handed me the receipt back. I asked the monitor standing nearby "why" she did that, to which she gave no reasonable explanation. I barely made it to my vehicle before I broke out in tears and phoned my husband, who instructed me to return all the groceries immediately. I will give credit where credit is due and say that both Savannah and the store manager on duty were very sympathetic and understood how in this very small town, this would be utterly humiliating. They apologised profusely and the manager even offered to walk me and my groceries (that I didn't return) back to my vehicle. Regardless, the embarrassement of being falsely accused in such a way as to shame me publicly - when I did absolutely nothing wrong, has forever ruined shopping at the Waynesville Publix. Thankfully, I still have Sarasota Publix.

I wanted to stop somewhere so I could add NC to my postcard and shot glass collections. It was the first time the hubby or I had ever been in NC and we were just driving through. So we stopped and there was a strange man working. He started talking with us and found out it was our honeymoon. He then said to the hubby "I didn't take my wife on the honeymoon, I just took the dog". I think the hubby was a little freaked out at that point. We were able to get the items we wanted. It was a large store with lots to choose from, but most of it cheap crap. If you're driving through stop for minute for that shot glass and maybe you'll get your own gem of wisdom from the strange man behind the counter.
