Publix

I grew up connecting trips to the local grocery store in the north with the feeling of taking a family field trip everytime. There was a warm and cozy feeling in the stores, cookies to sample, hostess brand sweets to pick out for my lunch box, many locally made and grown products to throw in the cart for a fair price. Today it’s a bit different as the times have drastically changed our lives. Publix prides themselves on spotless stores, a perfected uniform appearance in every location and kind employees dressed in waiters garb. My favorite product that they sell are their crueller doughnuts, only because they seem to be one of few products made there, not trucked in. Many other products I question the nutritional value on that they sell. All that glitters isnt gold. An example is the parfait style desserts in the bakery. Most of the laundry list of ingredients are artificial from the colors to the flavors. One has a form of titanium in it which is also in deodorant. I understand Publix is a staple to Tampa Bay however they can learn some valuable buisness tips from their competitors when it comes to rethinking about being a big box store.

Went back to check on the ice tea, guess what? As promised there it was! Thank you Publix, this is why I shop here.
