europeans will never understand the relief of walking into a giant, perfectly cool grocery store and then walking away with a delicious sandwich.

good subs. too expensive tho

>>16113011
>too expensive
What are you poor? The subs are huge and they load the meat on there.

>>16113030
Yeah idk what he's talking about. It's less than a double quarter pound and you get whatever toppings you want. There is not a better deal out there for a prepared chicken sandwich

>>16111736
we don't all live in the stone age over here we do have AC and sandwiches

>>16111729
>why do all the women ask me if I need help out to my car?

I love Publix because it lets me sample rare and exotic Bongistani items. I’ve learned the joys of Heinz Beans, Branston Pickle, Bovril, Tunnocks Wafers, and Yorkshire Gold Tea.

>>16113030
>>16114118
Not that anon, but my Publix’s subs would seem “too expensive” if some idiot only buys the half ones, because the pricing really favors the whole ones.
Like the tendie sub there is 5.99 for a half, but only $2 more for a whole.

>>16111729
I moved recently and I miss my Publix. It was just down the road and I could go there to get groceries quick or even get a chicken cordon bleu sub and soup. The Harris Teeter down the road from me is nice but outside of rotisserie/fried chicken they don't have anything I can go in and grab to eat like that. It's strange, because other Harris Teeters have had subs, pizza, and what not but not this one. Plus Publix always had amazing fruit. Never got anything bad from there.

>>16111736
>europeans will never understand the relief of walking into a giant, perfectly cool grocery store and then walking away with a delicious sandwich.
really wish i could know this feel

>>16111729
Never had publix til I moved to NC, it's kind of a weird gross story but the sandwiches are alright, bread is pretty medicore compared to most sandwich shops.

>>16111729
Run-of-the-mill grocery store with mediocre sandwiches. Here in the Northeast even our shittiest grocery stores are better than Publix and sandwiches are plenty.

>>16114322
>tfw no store near me carries irn bru

It's weird to see Southerners act like it's the only store that carries boars head deli stuff. Definitely in the upper tier of chain grocers though.

>>16114260
Like 1/5 British “”””homes”””” have air conditioning

Niggas don't know about Ingles.

>>16114754
Ingles is a high class Piggly Wiggly or IGA at best.

pic related; thanks Bongs and Publix

>>16114526
It tastes like cough syrup

>>16114754
damn, Ingles. takes me back.

>>16114366
Harris Teeters suck come back south anon

>>16113011

they're only in flyover states anon
LMAOing @ ur life

Don't care, the south is trash

>>16116413
*north

>>16116410
>flyover states
You mean like the entire east coast moron

>>16111729
I have no idea what the fuck that is and don't care enough to google it.

>>16114538
>It's weird to see Southerners act like it's the only store that carries boars head deli stuff
Shit crazy, rite?
It’s almost like people don’t spend time researching grocery stores that don’t exist in a proximity within which they can shop.
Total fukkin bonkers.

>entire east coast
Ummm, no sweetie. They don't extend into the areas that matter.

>>16117045
Expecting a brand of food that isn't store brand to be exclusive to your hick stores is still retarded Anon.

>>16117076
there are a total of 4 Publix stores in my town. guess where I live.

>>16117077
>your hick stores
Assuming I’m speaking from some personally local emotional investment rather than simply traveling and seeing that major grocery chains are very regional is retarded, Anon.
Referring to Publix as a “hick store” is even more retarded, as it’s easily within the top few major US chains in terms of product selection and service.
I’d also point out the fact that not every store which carries Boars Head deli items also offers to put them in made-to-order sandwiches, but you’d likely accuse me of being some sort of paid corporate shill.

Literally the only thing I miss about living in Florida, they're the only store I've seen that has freshly ground 30/70 ground beef, made amazing burgers. Walmart has high fat ground beef too but it's shipped in and basically sucks. The steaks and chops and other meat there was also a notch up imo. Their store brand block parmesean was some good shit for the price too. I spent too much shopping there over the years but I ate like a king, fucking life can be worse lol.

>>16117102
>boars head is the best meat ever guyss!!!
Boars head is mediocre, just like your hick store.

>>16117100
greenville SC

>>16117142
I don’t recall writing anything that even implied that. Are you projecting?

>>16117142
Publix isn't really a hick store, it's more like an upper middle new-rich but not really clientele there. Hicks shop at Winn Dixie and of course Walmart in Florida

>>16117171
>implying anyone below the Mason-Dixon line isn't a backwater hick

>>16117269
If only that were true, lol

>>16114322
I feel like british sections like this still feel very much catered to an american palette, and I say this as an american, unless british people really are just as sugar obsessed as we are

>>16117318
Have you ever seen British people? They're literally the America of Europe

>>16116410
How is Florida a flyover state. It probably gets more tourism than any other state.

>>16117343
>w-we were Disney World!

>>16111729

Based and subpilled.
Have one across the street, praise the Lord.

>>16114711
Every supermarket has air conditioning, though.

>>16117105
Publix in my town carry USDA Prime steaks. Not every Publix does of course but I live in an affluent town. Publix is on a tier between H.E.B and Central Market

Should I get the turkey gouda or tuna salad with spicy mustard? Is there a good cheese that goes with tuna salad?

>>16117076
Is Publix decent outside of Florida?

>>16117171
Nothing wrong with Winn Dixie, love that smell of fish.

Publix is good even in the shitty areas imo. The classic one in Lake Worth and the Riviera one with an indoor elevator and rooftop parking are neato.

>>16118656
Tuna salad for a change, but either will be good

>>16111729
Had to live in Florida for a year, and I went to eight different Publix locations in that time, and here's my honest thoughts:

Their subs are shit. I genuinely have no fucking clue what 4chan's obsession with Publix subs are. They're overpriced, use barely-passable ingredients and legitimately don't taste better than the crap you'd pick up at a DiBella's or something.

The stores are fine but frankly not any better than a Kroger or a non-ghetto Food Lion. What's the angle, honestly? Is it just underages memeing at each other because you almost never see black people in one?

>>16118766
Floridafags need to feel special about something because they’ve got shit else besides junkies and old people from other states

it's a lot nicer to shop there than work there

>>16111736
>walking into a giant, perfectly cool grocery store
We get the first part over here, but not the latter unfortunately. I'm pretty sure that supermarkets are the only places in the UK guarunteed to have some kind of AC.

>>16115595
Love that shit

>>16118766
I just realized I don’t recall seeing a black in publix except the workers

They have an ironclad lock on Florida
There was an Albertsons that was always a graveyard when you drove past it.
Maybe 10 cars in the entire parking lot tops.

Publix took it over and you cant find a parking spot in that place. Its like a cult here.

>>16111729
it's kino. get a chicken tendie sub and a cup of chili

>>16114492
>Here in the Northeast

nobody cares yankee

>>16119461
Because blacks cannot understand the abstract concept that quality is worth the premium price.

>>16119525
They are to Floridians what H.E.B is to Texans.

>>16118766
>I went to eight different Publix locations in that time
>Their subs are shit
The sort of autist who would literally count and remember the number of locations of a chain he went to in a time period is also the sort of autist who would declare a sandwich “shit” because the cheese isn’t sliced into his favorite geometric shape.

>>16117171
Winn Dixie no longer exists

pretty cringe and blue pilled

>>16117410
Name one flight path in which you fly over Florida.
Jeez, you have so much sand in your cunt, could refill a beach.

>>16120529
>Name one flight path in which you fly over Florida.
Not that anon, but there’s clearly a bunch of Cancun routes as well as some island routes, and this is just one airline and only their North American destinations.

>>16120487
yea it does dumbass. most of them are pretty shitty but they do have good beef, i'll go there for that. when i went to the midwest the best thing i could compare it to was a jewel osco, it looked, felt and smelled the same as a winn dixie.

here in boca we actually have a kosher winn dixie but no kosher publix, which is odd. you get a nostalgia feel for publix because if you grew up here you remember going there all the time and its like taking a little step back into childhood every time i go. it also helps that the store brand stuff is usually better than anything name brand. the customer service is 100% better than any other store and the people that work there dont look like miserable, low wage trash slogging through their day, everyone says hi to you as youre shopping and asks you if you need any help. the store is clean. the deli and bakery are top notch and they always have really good premade meals for the days im lazy and dont feel like cooking or eating fast food.

>>16120517

It’s northerners who shop Publix more than the FL born. Both here

>>16120710

>>16120456
>The sort of autist who would literally count and remember the number of locations of a chain he went to in a time period
Are you retarded or something? I was all around the state, so I ballparked how many different ones I stopped in. And naturally I was curious how good (or in this case not) their subs were because I've seen fags on here going ballistic over the for years.

Good on you for being a loyal little cocksucker and looking for any out on why my criticism wouldn't count against your precious literal grocery store chain though.

>>16118656
>Is Publix decent outside of Florida?
Yes.

>>16120766
nope: hint: blue angels

Guys, I go to the PUBLIX on CORAL WAY, in Coral Gables, Miami. If you see a man in there with a cart full mostly of BOGO deals for that week and DELI QUICK BITES, feel free to say hi. This week, my cart was full of honeydew melons, Chao Mac n Cheese, Wholly guacamole, Bertolli sauce, and Cape Cod potato chips

>>16111736
Europeans used to visit all the time where I worked at Publix and they loved it. Would see the same families every year even. t. Publixfag

>>16120766
True though, I live nearby and there's probably 4-5 Publixes (Publi?) within a ten mile radius

>>16117269

>>16111729
i lied to the publix cashier about what i was having for dinner when she asked me
she asked if I was having salmon, but I told her I was having the beef with rice.
The thing is I'm doing keto so I don't eat rice anymore.
Why did I lie to this woman?

>>16111729
When I was 5 my parents took me to the US to go to Disney and whatnot.

We would go to publix for groceries. They had these little electric ticket dispensers in the isles that dispensed coupons. I had no concept of coupons so I took one and asked my mum what it was. The coupon was for a carving board, so she told me it was a carving board. Me and my sister collected one of each of the coupons from every isle, calling them 'carving boards'. My parents obviously thought it was cute because they never corrected us.

I've been back to the States as an adult and found the food to be shockingly oversweetened and hfcs laden, but I still have warm memories of going to publix to collect the carving boards from the little electric dispensers.

publix was expensive but I grew up poor in miami
we shopped at sedanos or winn dixie
