Publix Super Market

Best store to build your self-esteem

by eviannaive

When walking through the Publix on Roswell Road one cannot help but feel just so much more superior than those that shop there as well as those employed at that location. I also happen to utilize this Publix as my own private buffet ( without the pesky exchange of money!). Sometimes I can devour an entire loaf of bread and down a two liter of Jolt Cola before any of the workers inquire if I need "help"(which is a relative term to begin with). I must caution those with certain aspirations that the Publix Corporation as a rule frown upon customers performing impromptu acts of jumping behind the counter to impersonate the butcher or baker ( ditto that for candlestick-maker). In closing I will say that I have gone thru the express lane with 14 items on at least six occassions which is a time-saver, and the customers frequenting this local are very territorial about the plastic dividers you find at the checkout.

• Pros: allow limited panhandling
• Cons: no semi or rv parking

Why is the yogurt on the right?

This Publix is set up differently than most Publix and most other supermarkets. For small grocery runs, it's an adequate supermarket, but I prefer the Publix on Monroe Drive, where the super fresh produce, easy layout and friendly staff make it my favorite. If you're looking for a great sub sandwich for a quick lunch or dinner, you'll want to check out the deli in the rear of the store.
