I would rather starve than set foot in Florida.

>>20190627
I'm in SC

>I would rather starve than set foot in Florida.
that is utter ridiculousness

>>20190626
It's good for sandwiches especially after a walk from the beach.

>>20190626
overpriced but bogos and sandwiches are nice

>>20190626
most stores are really nice and generally riffraff free but you gotta atch prices because some things like chips are fucking ludicrously expensive.
I'd say shop there but don't buy your whole grocery order there

>>20190627
Good

>get mah dinner at the pube licks

>>20190627
Dilate

>>20190771
dad i told you to stop posting on 4chan

>>20190730
If you hit their 2 for 1 sales it is very affordable

i don't

>>20191812
They don't seem to do that as much anymore. Now it's buy two get one free.

>>20190626
I dunno I'm a yankee.

Check out Wegman's here in the NE US, they have some good stuff.

>>20191930
I do know and I am a Yank and have family in Florida, it's all in fun.

>>20191930
Are you stupid or something?

It's the Chick-fil-a of grocery stores.

>>20191939
Its not anywhere near me don't you get that?

>Founded in 1930 in Winter Haven, Fla., Publix has grown to be the largest employee-owned company in the world. Today the company boasts more than 175,000 employees with more than 1,100 locations across six states.
>In an industry where layoffs are common, Fortune magazine recently reported that the company has not had to lay off a single employee in the 86 years since it was founded!
>That happiness manifests itself in Publix’s tiny 5% employee churn rate (in other words, a measurement of how many people leave the company) while the retail average is around 65%.

>>20191939
He's a yankee, of course he's stupid.

>>20191955
Most southerners have nigger dna. Literally the dumbest states in union.

>>20191953
Why would you even post in a thread on a subject you admit you know nothing about?

>>20191958
who cares faggot its 4cuck enjoy your stay nigger.

>>20191958
I'll see that and raise you some tater tots.

What else is there, tater tots and chicken wings?

>>20190626
dry overpriced sandwiches

>>20191983
>dry
Ordering skills issue
>overpriced
Yes, it's not Aldi or Walmart.

Overpriced but what isn't these days. Me and my buddy only go there because of convenience, BOGOs, & the subs. Personally I think they've been dropping off in quality with their subs and the customer service; it still beats going into wal-mart and dealing with hoards of basketball Americans and other undesirables.

>>20190627
Literally the best state. All we have to deal with is an occasional hurricane, and even then, most houses are built to withstand even strong ones. No snowstorms, no frozen cars or roads, not near a fault line, weather stays nice even when hot cause of humidity. But oh noes, the reptiles and OLD PEOPLE, amirite?

>>20190626
poor man's Wegmans

>>20190626
I buy produce and meat from them, I get everything else at winn-dixie. Their fried chicken is the shit. And the box of 20 wings is the best value around when it comes to hot wings.

>>20190639
a lot of ridiculous shit is said on 4chan with no one calling it out, but this is completely sensible

Everyone raves about the subs but I can remember the time before those were a thing, and it's all stuff you could buy in the store anyway, they just assemble it for you

>>20192187
The selling point was that they were huge. For the same price as subgay, you got way more meat/cheese/toppings on your footlong. For me it's footlong roast beef on wheat with provolone, mustard and mayo, all toppings except lettuce, salt and pepper. Delicious.

>>20192009
>weather stays nice even when hot cause of humidity
Humidity makes hot weather feel so much worse though. Your sweat doesn't evaporate as much to cool you down.

>>20192009
Don't try to encourage them to come here. We're being attacked on all fronts by midwesterners and illegals

>>20190626
Never been there

>>20191934
Publix is like wegmans but even more wegmany

>>20192198
>For me it's footlong roast beef
The Thanksgiving turkey sub but drop the cranberry sauce and add bacon
Fuckin amazing

>>20191978

That's not how it works moron all humidity does in hot weather is make it harder to breath

Aldi recently bought Winn-Dixie. Chek Cola soon will be dead.

>>20192485
>Chek Cola soon will be dead
and nothing of value was lost

>>20191833
bro I shop nearly daily at Publix for my family, the 2 for 1s are out there. Right now 2 for 1 party size tostidos

>>20190626

Publix is nice but HEB and Wegmans are both better if we're going to be honest here. And I say this as a born and bred Floridian

>>20190627
it's colonized other states now

>>20192491
How am I going to get pantyhose for the misses if there's no longer a Winn-Dixie to buy Georgia Crackers from?

>>20192527
You must be ugly and devoid of a legit nutrition. Chips? Really? I reckon you still jump for joy to eat lunchables.

>>20190626
Publix slaps
dem subs are fire

>>20191934
Wegmans has dropped in quality over the past decade, Hannaford supremacy is where it's at.

hated working there, stocking
they used to have a slightly cheaper but so much better publix brand prosciutto in the deli i'd buy once in a while, but the 4 in my area now don't carry it, and one denied it existed.
the hot sauce on the spicy chicken tenders is (was) texas pete

>>20192187
>Everyone raves about the subs but I can remember the time before those were a thing
They've sold subs at the deli since I was a kid, which is now a long, long time ago. They used to use soft Cuban bread for their subs way back in the day, and while it was prone to getting a little soggy, I still remember them fondly.

>>20194579
>Hannaford
I've only heard of Hannaford from some PA or NJ nuke disaster.

>>20190626
>live all over USA most of USA due to work
>relocate to Florida
>shop at Publix for the first time
>its nothing special like at all
>no different than Food Lion, Safeway, Pick and Save or whatever chain you are used to
Yeah nah man if you wanna see a grocery store worth talking about try a Wegmans.

>>20195387
The only grocery store worth talking about is the Buford Highway Farmers Market. Everything else, including Wegmans and Pavilions, are just chains.

Publix sucks. The main attraction was the subs, but the sub counter is staffed by foreign, geriatric, melanated, ESL, obese, low IQ, and lethargic women. Each person in line ordering a sub takes around 15 minutes. So if there's three people ahead of you you can expect to receive your sandwich in about an hour. Order ahead you say? Doesn't really work for hot subs, but sure, you can do that. And your sandwich will be wrong. Maybe Publix has a few other good items here and there but without the subs being an option (because who has an hour minimum to stand in line for a sandwich?) I just don't go there at all. Plus, their fried chicken is terrible. Way, way too salty.

>>20192187
I work a quarter mile from a Publix so sometimes I'll order a sub. They do a weekly deal and it's better quality than something like Subway, it's cheaper than subway, I can order it ahead of time and never talk to a person, and that publix has a little enclave with tables to scarf it down.

>>20195420
>describe Costco to an ESL that’s never been

>>20190626
Aw FUCK the Super Bowl is today am I fucked if I try to go get a Pub Sub bros?
>Verification not required
>owari da niggers

>>20190627
Its really not that bad down here unless you go anywhere south of Seminole

>>20192009
>weather stays nice even when hot cause of humidity
FUCK HEAT AND FUCK HUMIDITY. I had to go to Florida in the middle of summer and it feels like walking through a pressure cooker. After just 5 minutes, my clothes merge with my skin thanks to all the sweat and the sweat doesn't even do it's goddamn job because of all the humidity in the air.
>Oh, the sweat draws heat off your body by evaporating
NO SHIT! The air is already full of water. There's NOTHING for it to evaporate into!

Skill issue.

>>20190626
Having lived in both Florida and Texas, I can attest that HEB is way better than Publix in basically every way aside from the interior decoration of the stores.

Wegmans is still better than either of them, but fuck living in the northeast.

>>20196920
yeah florida stinks. literally, walk outside for 2 minutes outside of december/january and you'll have a sweaty back or pits, and an odor. if your friend or something goes outside for a cigarette and then comes back inside and walks past you, you'll notice the smell. stranger coming from outside walking past you leaving? awful. and it's not their sweat, deodorant or antiperspirant won't help

>>20195387
>no different than Food Lion,
lol
lmao

>>20192485
Aldi was going to convert most locations over but leave some Winn-Dixie locations intact. Probably won't happen now that a judge has ruled against Winn-Dixie in an ADA lawsuit. Aldi isn't going to want to invest the money into a brand with a shrinking number of stores to make it ADA compliant. They'll probably convert more over to Aldi locations than first anticipated and sell off the rest. The biggest issue is that most Winn-Dixie locations are twice the size of the typical Aldi so many of them will need to be subdivided and the excess space sold, probably to a drug store.
