I'd like to respond to the writer who thinks "Publix has excellent service". Some Publix may have excellent service; BUT the Colony store does not.
Let's be clear. Publix has high retails outside of it's sales program and they say it is because they give great service. So let's see..........
First you fight for a parking space, since the employees park in the same lot as customers and the store is doing so much more than projected.
Then you enter and have to use either a hand cart or an EXTRA LARGE shopping cart enough to fill $200 of groceries and which takes up so much space, it's hard to maneuver through the aisles. Why can't they get smaller carts like Winn Dixie??
Then the Fun really starts as you head to the Deli counter. Last week I got my deli number....#46. The counter was on #25. At an average of 5 minutes per customer, I soon realized I would be waiting an Hour and 45 minutes!!!!! Do you honestly think that is "Excellent customer service? I went to Winn Dixie, got my cold cuts and was in and out in 10 minutes. I don't need to pay extra for poor customer service.
