Winn-Dixie

hit or miss here. I genuinely want to spend my money in here. but you keep giving me reasons to not want to. most of the reasons not to can be corrected if you paid attention.
today? today was that wic program stuff. where the customer doesn’t know what they can buy, so they ask the checker to do it for them. this is a check out line, not a PLEASE go shop for me line. this is a common thing here, where you think you get to check out, but you spend more time waiting while you allow customers to run your people about. may I suggest that you create a sign regarding this as a check out line, and any questions regarding wic should be addressed before getting in line? its not like your not there to help. I have asked questions here, and always gotten great answers, but this? no.
today I spent way more time waiting to see if your checker could find some girl the «cheese» she was allowed to buy with food stamps, while a manager tried to explain that you don’t shop for customers, while myself and three others basically went to another line.
the most important line in this place IS SELF CHECK OUT. and it wasn’t open. so today, after spending too much time waiting while my ice cream was melting I left my groceries. I don’t think I’m coming back this time. I won’t go to walmart for the same reason, but this is just ridiculous. please fix it.

Clean and bright but only two checkers on Saturday afternoon. ?

This location is terribly dated looking on the inside though it seemed clean enough when I have visited. Two registers with no baggers and self check out at 5ish on a Friday seems to me to be way understaffed. I picked up a case of beer that was reasonably priced and two limes as well as their version of mini muffalettas which compared to other groceries were, in my opinion, not as good. The bread was soggy and the mini sandwiches themselves didn’t really seem to be good quality ingredients, and I love mini muffalettas. I ate 2 of the 6 before giving up on the bread consistency.
I might pick up beer and a bag of chips here when in the area but probably won’t be doing any grocery shopping anytime soon.

Horrible place! It was great right after Katrina when it was rebuilt. It took less than 2 years to become the dirty place it is now.
I have been accosted inside the store and outside in the parking lot on numerous occasions… people wanting money for all kinds of reasons. There are scary looking people that troll around… keep your eyes peeled and don’t go after dark.
Always check the sell-​by dates. They are notorious for selling out of date goods. But that does not guarantee freshness. I got saltine crackers that were totally stale yesterday and due date is months away. I have gotten spoiled shrimp in there one time.
Prices are easily 50% higher than surrounding stores. Yesterday my crackers were over $ 3 when everywhere else in town in $ 2. That is common pretty much across the board.
Be wary of their «Buy one-​Get one free» deals… they just double the price! That is actually pretty funny. I guess they don’t think we made it past 3^rd grade.
The ONLY reason I ever go in there is to get a good deal on canned cat food. But looks like they have raised prices on that too, so no reason to ever darken their door again.

I love winn dixie, I hit them every time I am in Louisiana. This location does have bad parking, wasn’t the cleanest, and I think it could get scary to go to at night. Not up to usual standards.

Winn Dixie’s closed a long time ago in Fort Worth, I was happy to walk in it looked just like the ones I remember.
Best features: Liquor and great selecton of Mahogany cards
Worst feature: Need to check the code dates on coffe. You can no longer get Community-​Between Roast in the DFW area you have to get it on-​line or make a trip to Louisiana. I planned to buy 6 pkgs but there were only 2 with dates that didn’t expire this month.
Other than that it was good to be in Winn Dixie again.

This store needs to be shut down. On multiple occasions that I shopped here. It’s always something dirty going on here. I spoken with the management on several occasions and the problem was corrected. But If your employees don’t want to keep it clean. It’s time for them to go. The upper management needs to be updated on the conditions of this store so they can correct the situation. The store should be cleaned and the food should be fresh. I only stopped over here today because I needed Strawberries for an order. But they were molded. All packs. Heavily molded. Get it together folks. Just because the store is in the Hood. Don’t mean we need to be subjected to the stores conditions.

Upon visiting other Winn Dixie’s (fuel perks has made me a Winn Dixie connoisseur) I can safely say that this Winn Dixie is bullshit.
It’s marginally closer than the one on Veterans and so (up until today) I normally went there to be greeted by much of the same: no selection of anything, rude guests, disgruntled employees, wishes I could get everything at Farmer’s Markets.
I don’t know why this location is allowed to be open and I really feel horrid for the people who have no choice but to go to this dump

Every time I shop here, I have problems.
Navigating the parking lot is a task in itself. There are grocery carts EVERYWHERE and garbage is always blowing around the lot… not to mention people are constantly parking right up next to the door like it’s alright to just leave your car in the crosswalk while you go shop.
The meat selection is pretty good, and the produce section is alright, but they are always out of something that I need, it seems. Oh, and nobody will try to restock anything if you ask. As others have mentioned, there are opened products everywhere… chips, sodas, cookies, candy, you name it. Also, on multiple occasions, I have been approached in the store by sketchy individuals asking for me to give them money for their car repairs/​gas/​child support in exchange for them using their food stamps to buy my groceries. Really?! And the police men that «stand guard» at the front barely seems to do anything other than sip on a drink and lean on the coca-​cola displays chit chatting with whatever girl is running the self-​checkout.
Speaking of which, checkout is always fun, especially the people who drag their cart of 100 items to the self-​checkout (20 items or less). The cashiers are rarely friendly, many times, not even looking at you or speaking to you during the whole transaction. One time, we came late at night to get ice cream, and while checking out, our cashier got distracted by another employee who had gotten a friend to bring her a daquiri. (Drinking at work?) She was too busy yelling her displeasure at her fellow employee about not bringing her one that she couldn’t push the right buttons so we could leave. When we spoke up and said, «We’re done. Can we get the receipt?» It was like she woke up and realized we were standing in front of her. Still, she rolled her eyes and continued her conversation with the soon-​to-​be-​drunk employee.
As you make your way back out to the jungle of a parking lot, there are always scraggly looking people waiting outside to follow you to your car, asking for money to buy food or to pay for their children’s doctor bills. And watch out when you back your car out of a parking space, because other great patrons love to put their carts directly behind your bumper instead of walking 4 feet to the cart return rack. Go to Rouse’s! The deals are better, it’s much cleaner, and the employees are friendly and eager to help!

I hate even giving this place 1 star!!! If I could give it a negative star, this place would get like negative 5 stars.
This place is trash and services trash. Apparently the people who shop here don’t mind paying for & shopping in trash.
I’ve gone into this store and seen half eaten ice cream sandwiches, opened sodas/​drinks, open/​eaten chips… need I go on?
And dare I even brooch speaking about the management

Best selection of brown lettuce, grey hamburger, and expired milk I have ever encountered! I only wish they had expired sushi also, but we’re still recovering from Katrina so progress in the sushi world is a bit slow still. I did find the Lance cracker selection to be vast, and the hubig pie ‘display’ to be full of lemon and chocolate… how exotic! All in all, the beef people are keeping their standards consistent as the poor man’s Whole Foods.

Ok, this is not the place that you want to grocery shop at. The people that work here are some of the meanest most unfriendly people out there. They are extremely rude and disrespectful to customers… especially if you do not look like them (if you know what I mean). I have experienced racism almost every time I have gone here. Certain employees like to go out of their way to make certain types of customers feel unwelcome and uncomfortable if they sense that you’re not from around there. I am friendly to everyone no matter who you are or what color you are. I found that when i spoke to some of the cashiers just to say «hi, how are you» they would look at me and ignore me, or just flat out give me a blank stare and go about what they were doing. I only go here if there’s a «grocery emergency» and I cannot make it to any other store. Overall, i would highly suggest going down the street to the other Winn Dixie on Chef towards Gentilly Rd. That one isn’t that much better, but the workers aren’t nearly as rude.
