Publix is amazing, it actually feels like you are shopping in a grocery store instead of an overcrowded, disorganized, germ-ridden cluster of anxiety like Wal-Mart. The produce and meat is much better quality here, and I honestly find myself spending less money than I would at other supermarkets due to all the "buy one get one free/half off" bins they offer throughout the store. Plus, I can think a straight thought while shopping here so I am able to rationalize whether I should buy an item or not, whereas in Wal-Mart I slam things in the cart in order to get out of there as fast as possible. Last night, I noticed how much Publix encourages healthy eating, they offer great sales on many fresh produce items and they have a great variety of organic produce. The people that work in Publix, every single one of them that I've been to so far, have always been extremely nice and helpful, which alone is a major plus for me. Anytime you pass a Publix employee in the store they offer you assistance in finding something you're looking for or at least they will smile at you. The cashiers are always very friendly and fast at checking out your groceries, and the baggers will sometimes help you unload your cart and take the groceries to the car for you if you'd like. These are all amenities that will never be found at your local Wal-Mart. I try to get as many people to shop at Publix as possible, because we need more businesses with values like this!
