Publix Super Market

Best store to build your self-esteem

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
