I'm with you FOXee Ladee! Publix RULES! It's by FAR the best grocery store chain in Orlando. I've lived all over the country and Publix is right up there with best of the best (except their meats suck azzzz! - but other than that, they RULE THE WORLD!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!). And it's great that they haven't gone to those LAME cards that give you the REGULAR PRICES if you use them and RIP YOU OFF like a Mexican souvenir stand if you don't!

OK, don’t tell anyone this – ‘cause they’ll ALL be doin’ it – but PUBLIX is a GREAT place for a First Date!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ==;D

Thanx! I work for Publix , but Not the NEW one in Lake Mary . Publix Will Have a Lot Of Changes . The One In Lake Mary Is The first One . I Work in A Publix Where we have a Chinese Kitchen . And There are Only 2 stores in Orlando with that. Customer service is very very important to all of us . That Makes Us Better then any other food stores around . And That Makes us proud to work for Publix . And To Have The Stock at Publix is great too because our pay is not that great. Also The Stock is for most people retirement money . I Have been working for Publix almost 8 years . And I think that's funny because I thought I am Never going to be there that long . But I Have to say Publix is a great Place to work for . Thank you to all of you for shopping and supporting us employs !

I WILL NEVER SHOP AT A PUBLIX AGAIN. MY FIRST TIME IN A PUBLIX WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. IF IT WASN'T JUST ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, I WOULD TELL YOU ALL, AND THIS PUBLIX WAS IN LAKE MARY AS WELL, NEXT TO BLOCKBUSTER!!

Tell us tell us tell us!

Some smaller Publixes are nothing special. But the larger one's are Shwwwwwweet! Even some of the older ones (like up in Altamonte area).

(Maybe you can give Publix another chance? They have the best prices for most of your shopping list and their selection is as good as it gets in Orlando - which isn't saying much, but ...) I mean where else can you find Japanese Ponzu Sauce?! Not even in the Asian Stores around here - they're all Vietnamese here. And you can find hard-to-find yummies like MallowMars (a NorthEast YumYum) and those SUPER THIN soft dinner mints . . . I think they're called, "After Eight" or something.

I like Kash & Karry's over in Tampa and the Goodings near Downtown Disney RULES THE UNIVERSE! But overall, Publix kicks Boootay!

Maybe you just need to go with the right man Kyleetan! (Don’t tell Foxee Ladee. I’ll pick you up after I send her packing with her Melons . . . I mean Casabas . . . that is, her Honey Buns . . . It’s nothing more than just groceries with her – I promise! ==;D)

Wow Gman, I'm not really sure how to respond to that. How is it that you can turn any post into hitting on me?

Apr 25, 2007 | 3:48 PM

Hey! What happened to my "GULP!"? Ohhhh. I put it in less-than/greater-than signs - HTML symbols, so it didn't show up! It was supposed to say this:

. . . that is, her [GULP! . . .] Honey Buns . . .

Talent Baybee!

Hey, I'm a guy. We can use ANY angle. Even a shopping trip to Publix! ==;D

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:18 PM

lol it is really bad and if it comes into my home, i will not buy it at publix.

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:39 PM

Ok, since I can't reach through the internet I guess you're off the hook. Otherwise I'd tickle it outa you! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

So what store DO you like then Kyleetan?

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:41 PM

albertsons lol a bit pricy, but taken care of, and their employees do not have junk oozing out of them!! (hint=P)

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:46 PM

I've noticed that Publix has MUCH better produce than Albertsons. I'm big on fruits and veggies. I used to shop at Albertsons though. Produce is a big deal for me.

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:48 PM

I love their produce, one of the main reason i even go there. I like winn dixie, but dang they are expensive. They have all the deli and veggie foods pre packaged, its awesome. great for BBQ's

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:54 PM

I KNEW it! You can't RESIST telling us! All I have to do is act like I gave up! ==;D

. . . Wait a minute . . . Oooozing out . . OOOZING OUT of them? . . . not sure how grossed out to be with that one! Gnarly! Did the OOZE get on your food?! Dare I ask? From whence did he/she OOZE?

Albertson's huh? (Well, don't tell Foxee Ladee, but that's MY favorite too! After I'm done draggin my feet through Lame-O Publix with her, me and you can go to OUR favorite store! ALBERTSON'S RULES!! ==;D)

Yeah, I used to go to Albertson's all the time. Didn't love it when they went to the card thing though. But they DO have a lot of produce . . . and evidently Kyleetans too! ==;D I didn't know!

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:57 PM

Gman, I gotta know, how old are you?

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:57 PM

lol you are kinda crazy, I guess thats why you like to blog. yes he was oozing and still working in the deli. Just the fact that publix would have still let him work back there is beyond me. I think thats what sickend me the most.

Apr 25, 2007 | 4:58 PM

Since you love produce, you can squeeze me and see how ripe I am! WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Apr 25, 2007 | 5:07 PM

Crazy huh? CraZy about Albertsons! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!! (Oh, and PUBLIX TOO Foxee Ladee! WOOOOOOOO hoooooooo!) Man, it's tough DiaBlogging TWO Cuties at once! At least in a Club it's not at the same time! . . . Wait a minite . . . What am I complaining about?! . . . THREESEES!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Apr 25, 2007 | 6:11 PM

YIKES! I just re-read this. Just to clarify! The "sqeeze me for ripeness" comment was for Foxee Ladee asking me HOW OLD I AM! Just realized that could sound pretty bad if taken out of context!

Well, if ya gotta know Foxee Ladee, probably a bit older than you - 30 Sumptn And you?

Looks like you Ladies went home. My turn now! It's been fun! ==;D

You are all scaring me- but I tried Publix for the first time last week (the on at Lake Forest).

The jury is still out on whether or not we can have a long standing relationship.
I've been with Albertsons for years. I know they're a little pricey but they had a store right by my House in Salt Lake so it was easy and I got used to shopping their sales etc.

I've decided to branch out because it seems a little pricey here in Florida.

What I thought was strange at Publix was the produce section. All the vegies were portioned out in plastic already. I like to pick out my beans and put them in my own bag. I don't know maybe I could get used to it. Fewer people touching the food I eat.

Stay tuned....I'll try again tomorrow. Friday is grocery shopping day at my house.

P.S. I use a lot of coupons- they seemed pretty good about it last week. Do they double??? anyone know?

Produce? I get mine from the local fruit and vegetable stand. W/D, Publix and Albertson's produce is pathetic. I get my meats from Petty's, far superior to W/D, P and A. But you are right, Publix does provide the best customer service. But like all other businesses, will Publix soon go the way of customer no-service? As long as they stay a private company, they probably won't. If they go public, you can kiss that good-bye.

Apr 26, 2007 | 9:04 AM

Well Heidi, if you decide to give Publix another chance, you should definitely go to the one in Lake Mary. I shop at a different one normally but it's tiny and nothing special. There's just something about this new one. I must say, the salad bar at the Albertsons in Lake Mary is awesome, I love it.

Apr 26, 2007 | 12:03 PM

I'm going to secretly replace that Salad Bar that you Love . . . with ME Baby! - dressed up like a Salad Bar! ==;D WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Wow, aside from Bruce Willis there, this Blog is becoming a BABE LAIR! Babe Central! Taiwan, Republic Of Babes! Babe-Golia! The United States of Babe-erica! I’m stayin’ Forever!!!

Heidi Hatchling herself has joined-in! Ohhhh Yeah Babe! I know, I know! The Hatchling is married! ==:( That’s enough to make a Grown Guy Cry! Come here Foxee Ladee . . . and Kyleetan . . . (and bring Shannon Butler while your at it ==;D) . . . I need a big squishy group hug! WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOT YOU Bruce!!!
