Oh? It is the only market around our local area and it is 3 blocks from our home. The place sucks...'in every way'.

I've noticed that they vary depending on location. The one by my office is the only supermarket around here (downtown Orlando) and it is HORRIBLE.
The one by my house, on the other hand, is great.

Parking sucks...Customer Service top notch....I live 10 mls away and I do not drive there..Metrorail and Metro buses do the trick for me and FREE...(Miami can't be that bad when after 65 you ride for free on all public transportation) That doesn't happen in Seminole County,Orange County, Hillsboro County and or Pinellas County...I also travel there every other month).

I call first and FIND out if they have what I need, they hold it for me and ONLY then I do the trip ... Awesome people there.

We do have LYMMO shuttle buses downtown, which is convenient when needing to jet from one end to the other. But it's limited to downtown. Our public transportation system is beyond horrible for an MSA pushing 3,000,000 people.

I know exactly what you have and what it costs...2 daughters in Seminole County, Mom, sisters and nieces and nephews in Hillsboro and Pinellas...I'm there fair and square all the time..We own one of the Townhomes in Winter Springs that older daughter rents from us....I will never move there...decision made...when she decides to move out. We will sell immediately...Traffic it's bad (Just like Miami) Public Transportation you have to pay 50%...2 Stories and not our bag anymore..I stay put here in SW...Really West where all is quiet and the Redlands are just short miles from us..

We love the Publixes there, don't buy much but the Service is phenomenal...Here it's just PLAIN BAD !!!!

(Pinellas County Publixes also are great when it comes to Pampering The Customer).

Greetings.

That Publix is creepy as heck.

I found a couple in Boynton that are better.

There’s always the WD with the somewhat scarey folks over on Dixie lol.

The Publix by Arcenal is a good one, IMO. I stop there when in the area. Have yet to go to the Stoneybrook one.

Just in case....Publix @ Paradise Lakes, SW Miami....Went there in the World Cup Break between matches 2 and 3 (1 to 2 PM).

On a buzy Saturday today... 2 cash registers open..every one there looking away from you, so that you do not bother the Customer Service people with Questions..

Isn't it a Wonder ???????

I bought some of their brand Napkins for $1.99 that are really just about their only decent buy. Place S U C K S !!!!

Yeah the one downtown Orlando is like that. Only 2 registers open at all times. Horrible.
