Publix offers great customer service. What other store dries their grocery carts with a leaf blower when it is raining? I've never seen any other store do that.
Publix does cost more—though not always. Now and again you can find a crazy deal like ribeye steaks for $7.99 a pound, or those long plastic-wrapped English (I think…) cucumbers for 59 cents each. And Publix stuff IS consistently high-quality pretty much across-the-board. What sets them apart though IMO is the quality of their service. Go to Wal-Mart and ask an “associate” where to find a certain item and you’re apt to get a vacant look in response followed by a vague reference to “over that way” or some such. Once, I had an associate just point. Ask the same question of a Publix worker and they’ll take you right to the item.
