Well, I'd like to tell her she has more money than brains.

I shop at Publix because of their quality and variety. BOGO's every week help lower the cost.

It’s in a great location with Good/price gasoline. Very popular which means they are doing a lot of things right. Can’t blame WM for trying to squeeze more revenue. We are lucky they are there. Personally we go there a couple times per week along with Aldis and Winn Dixie. Again, lucky. Never incented to shop at Publix. But for those who do, great.

Would love an Aldi or Winn Dixie south of 44!!

Have only been to the Walmart on 466 since moving here. A much better experience than I thought it would be.

No need for tap to pay if you have the Walmart app. Two clicks and you are done. It also saves you 3cents a gallon at the pump.

Guess they need to squeeze more product in the store. Meh

No tap to pay! How can that be? I don’t know how I will live without it!!!!

Hopefully for our Southern folks hang in there. We bought our new TV home 8 years ago. Between Morse & BV by Pinellas Place. At that time there was talk about the “Buildout” and the family would not build south of 44.

Well we all know what happened. We are now smack in the middle of TVland. Back in 2014 there was not much here either, but then Commercial/Shopping exploded. Yay.

Hang in there…

I wouldn’t know what to do with those extra seconds saved at checkout.😂

I thought it would be a good idea to buy my roasted chickens at Walmart instead of Publix and save about 4 dollars. But, then I found out that half the time I went to Walmart, they didn't have any chickens. So, now I go to Publix and pay the extra 4 dollars.

I liked it better the old way! I guess they want to make more money. More self checkouts so I suspect they did not attempt to find out what the population of people here would want!

They need to hand out a map of the new store layout.

Isn't that why businesses exist?

Chickens are a very automated business. The farmer knows how much food-expense-there is for each size chicken. My point, the chickens at Walmart and Winn-Dixie are smaller than the ones sold at Publix.

Wal-Mart on 441 in Summerfield changed their layout and it is more difficult to find what you are looking for. Moved items from front of store to back of store. Will take time to get used to.

I noticed over years Walmart changes stuff around about every year so you can’t find stuff
