Publix

This store just allow some worthless person to commit fraud on my checking account just today1−18−2016 and i live in North Carolina.

I have shopped at many Publixes (Publices?) since moving to Atlanta, and while they are all unique and special butterflies in my heart, this one is my favorite. Now, there are some qualities that all Publixes/​Publices share, in my experience:
1. Getting a sandwich made will take approximately 8 hours. It will be delicious, but it’s going to be slow and you’re going to think about giving up before it’s done. Just wait.
2. You will be helped, almost aggressively. They really, really want to help you. Don’t bother running, because another employee will find you in the next aisle.
3. The bagging will make no sense, and you’ll probably cringe as employees chuck your carefully-​selected tomatoes down the line, and then thunk them into a bag and pile your heavy canned goods on top of them. (I don’t know why, but this seems to be the case at every Publix, and it seems to be a problem every time. Perhaps better training for baggers is in order?)
The extent to which each individual Publix shares in the qualities varies, but Toco Hills Publix has the most cheerful, helpful employees anywhere, and they happen to be completely atrocious baggers who also slowly make very delicious sandwiches. Bonus: the store itself is nicely lit, with big wide aisles, a wide range of products, and fresh produce (generally).
Definitely go here if you need groceries, sandwiches, beer, or a store employee to really pay attention to you.

This review is for Publix Curbside! The best service EVARRR!
I ordered their service for the first time on Oct. 12. The first use of Curbside is free.
It’s amazing, it took me literally 15 minutes including drive time to get my groceries today. I got there just at the beginning of my time slot, rolled up to the door and the guy was coming out just as I got outta the car because I wanted to see their set up. He was SUPER nice and showed me how they do it.
They basically have a fridge and a freezer and bays for carts that are marked with numbers. They number your order and send a special employee to pull it. If they are out of something, they will substitute (if you allow it on the order).
In my case, I didn’t allow subs but they pulled them anyway and he said they’d put back what I didn’t want with no problem. Ended up subbing in a few things they were out of (no big deal) with store brand or other name brand — lunch meat, raw potatoes, and dish soap. He just went down the list with me and told me my options. One of the sale items they were out of, but he gave me the larger size at the sale price, which is even BETTER.
I swiped my card just inside the door and was done. He brought it all out and loaded my car for me AND GAVE ME A COUPON! 5 $ off the next 50 $ or more order — which covers more than half of the curbside fee of 8 $!!!
My apples look great, as do my peppers. Not bruised up or banged about. Other produce looks good too, even the Boston lettuce, which is notoriously hard to choose if you aren’t familiar with it. All of my meats are individually bagged in the clear plastic so they won’t leak.
All the food was bagged EXACTLY how I would bag it myself — frozen with frozen, cold with cold, dairy with dairy, etc.
Couple caveats — The site for ordering is not as easy to sort through as I would like but I still got my order placed pretty quickly (I fooled around with it for almost an hour). It also has the option to make multiple lists and save them so I will probably be putting my recipes in there so I can just mass-​add the whole recipe to my cart. Being able to run around the house double-​checking is also really great.
You need a four-​hour lead time BUT if you place the order and realize you forgot something, there is actually a counter sort of thing to let you know how long you have until you can’t change the order and changing is a snap. Place your order for pick up the next day and you’ve got lots of time to make changes. I think if you go to pick up and step inside and explain you want to take a couple things off, they will be perfectly fine doing that too!
You also don’t have to put ANY personal info into the ordering site other than name, address, phone number, and creating a username/​pass. No credit card or anything at all like that.
Publix doesn’t carry a couple of my favorite things (carrots with the greens on them, Chicken & Broccolli Pasta Roni) BUT the kosher Kroger is literally on the other end of the shopping center so you could pop in there to grab them before picking up from Publix… kind of defeats the purpose but popping into Kroger for two things is STILL going to be faster than doing a full-​on shopping trip.
Placed another order yesterday (Nov. 17) and got a phone call this morning from them stating they were out of a few items on my order. They offered me some substitutions (I accepted!) and also inquired if I needed to add anything. I actually did and gave them the names of the items I needed as well as descriptions of what they look like (just in case).

I’ve never been a wild about Publix and my experience today didn’t help that opinion. Upon entering the store, none of the associates stopped their casual conversations filled with laughter and high fives with the relaxed security guard to greet me. Even though I was obviously clueless of where certain items were, no one asking if they could help. When I finally asked a man in a green long sleeve Publix shirt & tie to direct me to the sliced watermelon, he slammed down what was in his hand and stormed off without saying a word. So, I stood there for two minutes then asked another employee. Thankfully, he did direct to the correct location with no problems. Once, I got there, here comes the original rude associate & he says ‚“Just so you know the watermelons are buy one get one free.” Sorry, but I’m going to stick with Kroger! OAN: The Doctor in Pharmacy Department was EXTREMELY HELPFUL & POLITE! O yeah, The watermelon was the best I’ve had in a while!

I recently started going to this Publix instead of other grocery stores near by. I have found the prices are better and the quality of the food (especially produce) is much better! The only reason I don’t give them a full 5 stars is because I felt rushed when picking out what type of fish I wanted to get. The man behind the counter kept making remarks to speed up my decision making and I didn’t appreciate it. Although that happened, the fish tasted wonderful that night when I ate it for dinner! Very fresh!

I love Publix! Basically I could write a five star review and apply it towards all of the stores I’ve been to since they all are pretty pleasing. The one in particular is newer, more strongly lit, and more spacious, more so than the one on North Decatur and Clairmont. It’s funny since Kroger is right around the corner, but I always pick this Publix over the depressing Kroger.
I recently signed up for Publix’s digital coupons, and it’s so very high-​tech and magical. On their website, you just check the ones you want to use and then at the register, you punch in your phone number and then the coupons are applied to the relevant purchases. A cinch!
When I visited recently, the employees seemed even friendlier than usual. You rock, Publix!

Publix in Toco Hills has everything, and there are tons of other shops, businesses, and restaurants in this shopping center. Including a Kroger, in the same shopping center as a Publix. Weird. I don’t like the parking lot though, even though it is huge, it gets hectic when busy. The one thing that sets this Publix apart from the others is the amount of Kosher offerings. It is located in a predominately Jewish neighborhood, so there are pretty extensive Kosher offerings in each department. Chicken wings are on sale today for the upcoming Superbowl. You can bet I loaded up.

What a great grocery store! I wish we had these where I live. They really pride themselves on service, from walking you out to your car (and loading it up – and they aren’t allowed to take tips) to offering free cookies for young ones at the bakery.
Their deli items (such as prepared salads and friend chicken) and especially their made-​to-​order SUB SANDWICHES are bar none, and the aisles are clean, wide, and well-​organized.
Publix is nothing special, and with the exception of the aforementioned sandwiches, there is nothing there that you won’t see at another standard grocery chain. But the service really makes them stand out, and it makes the sometimes tiring task of grocery shopping a more pleasant experience.

Deli is so slow. There were 5 people behind the counter and they couldn’t help 3. Won’t be back.

This Publix is clean and bright. The lunch crowd is always there hitting the deli, the hot bar, the salad bar, or the kosher deli. This Publix markets well to the local Jewish community with a large selection of kosher items and features a true registered kosher deli, the only one in the chain, which is run by a Rabbi. That’s cool!

I can’t complain about any of my experiences here. They carry what you need at prices you’d expect so, I guess keep up the good work!

This is a good Publix, I suppose. WIth so many grocery stores in the area, you really get spoiled and tend not to get super-​excited about them anymore. It’s large, it’s clean, it carries a good variety of foods and the staff are friendly.
Since this Publix is in the middle of a heavily Jewish area, it has a well-​stocked kosher foods section (I had no idea cookies or pasta needed to be kosher too, but apparently they do), and even a kosher sticker for the freshly made baked goods that meet the standards.
Other than that, one quality, this Publix is just like many other Publixes. No better, no worse. I’ll stop there if it’s on my way to pick up a few necessities.

This is my neighborhood Publix and I like it okay. It’s not very big but it’s not the smallest I’ve seen. They don’t always have what I’m looking for, but if they don’t I can just run to the Publix on Henderson Mill. The people here are always friendly and that’s important to me.

Very aesthetically pleasing. Birght and welcoming. The BOGO deals almost make up for their pricing and variety inferiorioty to Kroger’s. But, nevertheless they have good deals.

I usually like grocery stores a lot, but I LOVE PUBLIX. Their BOGOs are the bestest. The first time I went to a Publix (not this one), my ex told me that you didn’t have to get 2 items if it’s on sale as BOGO free. I thought he was delusional, and grabbed 2 items anyway. He of course had the last laugh…
The employees here are also always so friendly, and I find that to be true at any and all Publixes I’ve been to. The produce is always beautiful, and it’s refreshing to see them do prep-​work in the middle of the grocery section! Also, the deli is always fabulous (I like having a piece of meat or cheese to nom on while I wait).
Sometimes the prices are a bit higher than the other store around the corner, but it is almost worth it for the experience. Also the BOGO items are sometimes ridiculously cheap – actually half off and not half off some inflated price.

What can I say about my Publix that no one else has already said? This is truly a place where shopping is a pleasure. I’ve been shopping here for almost 2 years and never had a bad experience. The deli & bakery are fast and friendly, the produce section is well-​stocked, and the employees are fantastic. I also love that they have a self-​checkout line, for those days when I’m buying fried chicken, Doritos, and ice cream at the same time and don’t want to do the checkout of shame.
I did once pick up the kosher fried chicken instead of the regular fried chicken and was somewhat disappointed because it doesn’t have that signature crust, but I have only myself to blame for that one. It was both clearly labeled and next to the separate (quite extensive) kosher part of the deli.
I once walked into this Publix with a piece of paper with a few characters in Mandarin Chinese (which I do NOT speak) to get a birthday cake, and walked out with my personalized cake less than 30 minutes later. They truly are amazing.

I love this Kosher Publix. Did you know that you can order what you want from Publix and they have curbside pick up? I have yet to use it, but I am sure I will soon. I ordered a cake for my daughter’s birthday. You cannot go wrong with Publix cake. It is always fresh and delicious. The store was clean, the staff was kind, and they did not argue with me when I presented an «odd» coupon from a manufacturer. They even helped me out of the store even though I did not need help. It was dark out and i had my daughter. I gentleman working said he felt more comfortable assisting me out. What a nice guy!

I love this Publix! The bakery and deli are both fantastic, and are the primary reasons why I love to shop here! The store is a good size, and never feels too crowded, although there are lots of people in there at certain times. The service is great, and I love being greeted whenever I run into an employee.
My only complaints about this store have to do with the parking lot. Sometimes it can be very difficult to find a space, and it’s necessary to park quite a ways from the entrance. Also, there is only one place to return your buggy outside which is incredibly inconvenient. There really needs to be at least 2 return areas. If you’re parked towards the outer boundaries of the parking lot, getting your buggy put up can be a real hassle, as well as dangerous. I usually just end up taking mine back inside. This is my favorite grocery store in the Emory area. The Publix at N. Decatur and Clairmont isn’t as good, and the Toco Hills Kroger, like most Krogers, is just plain awful, and can’t even compare to Publix. Go here if you’re in the Emory area for your grocery shopping needs.

I rarely visit this Publix but I was in the area, needed milk and decided to stop on in. The first thing that caught my eye was the really fantastic looking hot bar, which seemed to have more items than most of the other Publix locations. They’ve really made the old and tired Deli of grocery store’s past a serious contender to go have a meal.
Formerly a higher priced grocery store, Publix now seems to have really great sales in the buy one get one variety, and I never have customer service issues. This shopping area can be a bit busy/​crowded due to lots of restaurants here, but there’s always parking available and it never takes too long to exit.

If you need fixings for a picnic at Lullwater Park or a quick stop for a bathroom break after a long afternoon at the park, this Publix is your place. It’s right around the corner from Lullwater, and it’s impeccably clean –from the well-​stocked shelves to the easy accessible bathroom. Plus, if you’re just picnicking for two, they have lots of their baked goods in single serving sized containers. At $ 2.49 for a giant slice of delicious key lime pie (seriously, Publix makes the best key lime pie I’ve ever had), the prices are quite reasonable. And, if you’re just stopping in to use the bathrooms and don’t want to buy anything, they’re right up front by the floral section, so no awkward scooting by the register without having to buy anything. From baked good and bathrooms, this Publix is a winner!
