I hate their ads that apply only those carrying their card. If i go into Publix their sale prices are for everyone but Winn Dixie will charge me more than the person behind me because I don't carry their card.

Actually, if you don't have their card, the checkout person will use their "store" card to get you the discounts.

I absolutely HATE the "set" of your garden variety Winn Dixie.

By that I mean the lay out of where products are located within the store. They seem to make a concerted effort to NOT group related products together. The peanut butter is on isle 2 and the jelly is on isle 22! Frozen is dead in the middle so that it is sure to be partially unfrozen when you check out. The produce dept is a crazy maze of randomly placed gondolas, creating cart chaos. No rhyme, no reason, no LndLocked

Count me in those that loath having to carry around a special card to get sale prices. Not only do I not what to have one in my wallet or on my key chain .... I am not going to give them ANY personal info to get one. As for the fuel savings ... I have done the math of those savings and rarely, if ever, see a product I want that's price (including fuel savings) is better than I can get on that same item elsewhere. Plus you have to spend $50.00 (as I remember) before you can qualify and the fuels savings max out at 20 gallons per month. Too much hassle for too little savings on too few items I want, to work for me.

BTW ... I am also NOT a fan of the new reset at the Mulberry Publix.

Sweetbay had to be the most poorly managed grocery store I've ever shopped. It became almost laughable. If I went in with a list of five items, they'd be almost certain to be out if two of them. I'm not talking about unique items here--Cheerios, Extra Chunky Jif peanut butter, Ritz crackers. Then my wife caught them selling outdated meat. Enough!

I hope Winn Dixie does better.

OR . . . leave the card at home and give them your phone number. In most places that have these cards, it will work.

I Will definitely agree with you on that! Apparently a committee of non-shoppers set up the new layout.

But that will have to be a topic on another thread.
