i have never found a wonderful grocery store like Publix. No matter where I've been in Florida Publix always seems to be the cleanest grocery store around. The one here on 14th st. in Bradenton, Florida has the nicest associates inside. My husband cut his hand on one of the grocery carts in the store and a cashier closed her register down to help him find a band aid for his finger. ( which was very nice of her) The baggers are always willing to help no matter how old they are.
I do like the friendly family atmosphere they have in the store. One thing i like about the store is that I'm able to let my children eat some of the food , just to keep them quiet, and they don't mind. It sure does make grocery shopping a lot easier if you just let the children eat. Also their bathrooms are never dirty. They seem to be on a set schedule of 30 min apart for someone to do a nice rub down to make sure both bathrooms are ok. I also like the newly added pharmacy each Publix has installed. They didn't have that there last time i was in the states. I'm sure it makes shopping for others a lot easier than it used to be.
TWO THUMBS UP for Publix! it is "Where shopping is a Pleasure".
