Winn-Dixie

So here’s the deal… I want to rate this higher but the management is just awful.
First the good things. Winn-Dixie’s prices are great, best in the area. They have healthy foods on sale. This actual store is very close to me so I enjoy walking to pick up a few groceries. I frequent at least once a week. As it’s very small and an older Winn-​Dixie, it still has a decent selection and again I like Winn-​Dixies.
Here comes why it gets only two stars. The Management. Now the actual store clerks are great and work hard. The management does not care about their customers. They are rude, they’re on their cell phones, they do not greet you, if there is an issue, I have never heard one person every apologize, they don’t go out of their way for anything or anyone. I once asked if they had a particular cheese, they pointed me to the cheeses and walked away. Dennis, good old Store Area Manager was extremely rude to me. I went to purchase zucchini and the register rang up something else. So the clerk called the manager, Dennis, and he told me, that’s the price. I fought with him for a few minutes until I actually walked over to the zucchini to show him he was incorrect. He then just turned around whispered to the clerk and never once apologized or acknowledged I was correct.
Now, unfortunately I will be going back to this Winn Dixie since it’s very convenient. However, by no means do I tolerate or think that kind of behavior from their management is okay.

I loath this place. The staff is awful. Although It’s a pretty clean and convenient place. They always have everything you need and more. It’s just always packed and they never have enough cashiers. I have walked out furious on more than one occasion. I also hate that stupid grocery card. Lol. I hate it!!! I had one but it expired after a year… Not sure how that happens. Now they tell me to get a knew one I have to stand in another line where they sell the lottery tickets to have it activated. Don’t go here unless you have the patience of 20 men because your going to need it.

I have given this place every opportunity, but I’m finished with it, and I blame the management, who, by the way, have never acknowledged my presence. The store aisles are always cluttered. Dairy and meat coolers are disgusting. ALWAYS check the eggs. ALWAYS check expiration dates. NEVER expect more than 3 checkout lanes to be open. I’ve seen lines 10 customers deep and no new registers opened. This happened yesterday 5pm, and I left, groceries in the cart. The cashiers are nice enough but the stock crew cannot be bothered… DONE AND DONE.

Staff is great, friendly and knowledgable they are always available to help you. Always a very busy location, lots of locals, see the neighbors all the time, not a big store but I always find everything I need. Best kept secret, bilingual team and cool people.

Ok supermarket. close to home, low traffic. Good assortment… GARBAGE SERVICE. Been here 500 times never seen more than 2 registers open and one is for 10 items or less.

This is by far the WORST Winn Dixie ever!!! I live close by and so I use it for last minute items needed but I’ve had so many issues with them (especially the managers), that as of today, I will NOT step foot in there again. I will continue to go to Winn Dixie (but it will be the one on Coral Way and Sw 32 Ave). Today was the last straw between WD and me. Dora (one of the managers) has the worst customer service. I can’t believe they keep her as a manager. When asked a question, she practically screams at you. The only people at this WD that are friendly to customers are the older gentlemen (that bag the groceries) and the cashier that wears gloves (can’t remember her name). Other than that the rest of the employees here don’t know how to treat customers.

I really wish this Winn Dixie would sell to Publix. The neighborhood is going upscale and this is such an eyesore. It brings in the wrong element to this neighborhood. Winn Dixie has had a good run here, it is time to wake up and sell. Make an amazing profit and relocate.
The South /​East side of Coral Way really deserves something better. PUBLIX, please save us.

Worst Winn-​Dixie I have ever been to in my life. I went to buy some crabs and have them steamed… first the lady did not speak english whatsoever. I understand this is Miami but come on, not even basic english. Then, the steamer was broken. It is messy, unorganized and I will never return.

I’m a huge Winn Dixie fan. I think they have good products at a very good price. Much cheaper than Publix. They also have great savings, BOGO offers on numerous items including meats and wine!!! Winn Dixie also offers a fuel rewards program, for every $ 50 you spend you get $ 0.05 off of gas at Shell. Plus certain items you purchase give you even more towards discounted gas. I’ve purchase good wine gotten up to $ 0.75 per gallon of gas. You need to check the weekly flier to see about those bonus savings.
As for this store. This Winn Dixie is small, so I will bear that in mind. I was very impressed with the Deli section. They have a lot of foods ready to go (for those of you that aren’t cooks, lol). All of them look delicious and fresh. The seafood dept had a lot of variety of fresh items. Meat dept look good, nothing stood out.
What I did find odd was that this store didn’t have a latin ethnic food section, like other winn dixies.
Overall all this store is good/​ok, it’s just small so doesn’t have all the items you normally could get at other winn dixies, but the great deli, seafood, and meat dept make up for it.
Happy Shopping

NPS = 2
Wow. I’ve never seen a place full of more apathetic people. No one is wiling to help, and when you get to the cashiers, you find them all talking instead of helping you. Do yourself a favor, avoid this Winn Dixie and go to the publix down the road.

Ever since my job has relocated, I have been searching for places to find food that are within walking distance. I stumbled onto this Winn-​Dixie during one of my walking adventures.
First and foremost, this Winn-​Dixie seems to be smaller than all other Winn-​Dixies I have seen. Yes, they have a section for produce and other items found at a typical grocery store, but this location is smaller.
Second, their bakery section allows you to pick anything you want instead of going to the counter, but their selection seems to be limited and not fresh. Their cake section does look abundant though.
Third, they have a hot wing section, which looks a bit processed for my taste with a little too much glaze and a little bit too much everything. These wings are known to taste good, but Chinese buffet good.
Overall, they get the job done if you are looking for something quick or want something to eat, but in regards to quality and inventory, Publix trumps them any day. I don’t think I will make my weekly shopping trips here, but it’s good to know that there is a Winn-​Dixie here if I needed to visit one.

This store has gone downhill to the point that I feel obliged to update my previous generous review. Even the most basic of transactions seem to overwhelm the employees and many of the brain-​dead customers. Even the smallest of shopping trips end up turning into nightmares nine out of ten times. There are never enough registers open, and waits are endless even in the express lane. Cashiers don’t pay attention and sometimes don’t even give you your cash-​back unless you say something to them. They rudely and reluctantly wait on people at the customer service counter who try to pay there in order to avoid the long lines at the two lone open lanes. Customers constantly want to discuss details and dispute their totals with cashiers. People leave in the middle of paying to go get something that they forgot, holding up the lines, and then take several excruciating minutes to write checks while looking around, apparently to make sure they’re being obnoxious enough to elicit reactions from others in line. I’ve seen people knock over items in the aisles and just walk away from the spilled mess. On multiple occasions I’ve seen customers abandon their shopping carts in line at the register and just walk out. Past-​the-​expiration-​date items abound. The parking lot is a clusterf*ck of stupidity — idiots will push empty shopping carts into others’ cars without giving it a second thought. Let’s put it this way: if you have half a brain, you have maybe a 10%-15% chance of getting in and out of this place without wanting to punch somebody in the face.

Holy upgrade, Batman! This Winn Dixie has drastically changed from looking like the one near the Magic City Casino (yikes) to looking more like a Publix-​slash-​Whole-​Foods! I was surprised at how clean it was and how many product options are available compared to the usual run-​down Winn Dixie stores. It is very smart of Winn Dixie to make improvements, otherwise it will be hard for them to stay afloat in the sea of customer-​service-​driven Publix stores in Miami.

Winn-​Dixie is the place to be…
Farm livin’ is the life for me…
…oh wait, no it’s not. This Winn Dixie is probably older than the Clampetts’ truck. Sure, I recognize I started with Green Acres and referenced the Beverly Hillbillies, but my point is, this Winn Dixie is old. Sure, it’s been refurbished and cleaned up, but there just seems to have an old feeling to it. The ironic part, to me, is that this old feeling is AFTER the store was completely remodeled. There aren’t any glaring problems. Food seems to be fresh across the board. Everything seems organized. The people are helpful, but you’ll probably need to be fluent in Spanish to get what you want; not an issue for me, but maybe for you.
Bottom Line: Meh. Give it a shot. They’ve changed. Nothing special or bad.

VERY limited parking.

I went to this Winn Dixie because I needed a money order. THe wait was forever. From now on I will stick to Publix the leverl of service is just not the same.

I’ve always found the Winn Dixie supermarkets in this general area to be a bit nasty and rundown. To be honest, the only reason I came to this Winn Dixie was because I was sick as a dog, I felt like ass, I probably looked as bad as I felt, but I needed groceries and cold medication and I didn’t want to go to my local Publix looking as bad as I did because I didn’t want to shame Publix, so I came here. There, you have the truth, plain and simple.
Since I was here last, they’d remodeled this store. But I gotta say, it wasn’t much of an improvement and the place was still pretty cluttered and nasty. I went through the store as quickly as I could. grabbed what I needed and went to the checkout. One of the things that also burns my ass about Winn Dixie is that they always have these wonderful savings posted everywhere — that you can only get IF you carry the almighty Winn Dixie card. You know what, screw the card, just give me the savings like other stores do, without me having to become a member of some club or without me having to sign up for some mailing list.
I went to the checkout and sure enough, I was asked for my Winn Dixie card. I looked up with my stuffed/​runny nose and droopy eyes and said I didn’t have one. She gave me a temporary membership card and that immediately took something like $ 8 off my bill. I appreciated that she did this, but again, just give me the lower cost, don’t force me to carry some little card around on my keychain.
One other note: I came here looking/​feeling as crappy as I did and I managed to get hit on by one of the customers while shopping here. This proves that even the customers that come here don’t love themselves!

I live right next to this Winn Dixie. It never has any of the products I want. It is filled with the ugliest Cubans I have ever seen (I’m not joking, they are scary), and no matter what plan on waiting in line for a good 10 minutes (no matter how many checkouts are open). I usually drive down the street to Publix or stop at Whole Foods on my way home rather than go to the worst Winn Dixie I have ever been to.
On the plus side they have an OK beer selection. Other than that, the produce is either not ripe or over ripe and they have 2 different brands of potato chips.
I would rather go to the Chevron station next door to get food.

Talk about love hate. Is it me or do all Winn Dixie’s seem somewhat dirty? I don’t know if its the lighting color scheme or what. Publix seems much more organized and clean. Winn Dixie doesn’t offer organic food, and the deli meats don’t look to hot either. Even meets, I have never seen perdue her either. I am not a huge fan of Winn Dixie for those reasons. But I am a fan of bogo’s (buy one get one) the other day I was forced to go in there and I saw wine buy one get one 13.99 a bottle. So I got a Malbec, and a Chianti, when it rang up the bottle was 9.99. I was happy I also got an 18pack of Miller Light for 12.99 not to bad. so yes they have deals which make it a little more bareable

GET OUT OF MY WAY!
WHY ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR CART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE?
WELL ONE OF US IS GOING TO HAVE TO BACK UP!
These were the thoughts parading over and over in my head while shopping here. Everyone was rude, or completely oblivious to the fact that other people were shopping at the same time in the same aisle they were. Obnoxious customers, and staff.
MAN STOCKING CHICKEN, YOU SHOULD BE INVISIBLE, NOT IN MY WAY OF BUYING FROZEN POULTRY.
The final straw was when I ended up having to bag my own groceries (in my canvas green bags no less) Im not a snob about groceries, but pay some teenage minimum wage to bag the groceries.
Not going back here! EVER!
