why do retards buy food here?

Just say Floridians.

Avoid certain people

Expensive "nice" stores tend to be cleaner and less crowded in addition to what >>21462470
said. People who over-fill their cart with junk food and pay with a "gold" card definitely fall into that category.

>FOOD & PHARMACY

When they offer services like non-instacart delivery, pickup, sushi bar, store-cut fresh produce, and a full service bakery that's going to add to the prices.

Even years later, seeing past the bullshit, I still shop there over Walmart. It's a lot less draining all around.
>>21462499
Biggest drain on profits is actually the deli. For whatever reason, they're almost never in the black.

Nogs love Publix though. Best fried chicken and it makes them feel fancy.

Sounds like Albertsons back in the 90's. Before the merger, their fried chicken mogged KFC.

Because people in Florida think it's worth it cause of their stupid tax laws.

>>21463229
Winn-Dixie has better fried chicken and it's cheap.

Our tax laws have nothing to do with Publix, what are you smoking?

It's crazy that when I go to one Kroger store, I'm always likely to see at least one or two Porsches. It's not even an upscale area and there's a Bristol Farms a few miles further away.

>>21462499
>thinking publix is a filter
lol
none of those things justify doubling the price on 90% of the other items in the store

>>21463464
I see Teslas and Porsches at Food4Less all the time. Owning these are not an indication of a significant amount of wealth.

>>21463771
You'd be surprised what some of these companies consider justifiable reasons. Many of them cut hours for front end staff (cashiers and courtesy clerks) first. If a store has even an adequately staffed front end, they're going to find a way to recuperate that.

>>21462373 (OP)
It's called the white person tax and they pay it constantly just to avoid being around the masses

>>21463309
Winn-Dixie has kosher sushi.

>>21462373 (OP)
Where do Floridians shop if they don't want to get fucked in the ass by expensive grocery stores? I was down there recently and didn't see a single Kroger store, only Publix and whole foods. Do they really have to pay absurd prices for groceries?

>>21464590
Winn-Dixie has long focused on working class shoppers, which is why when Wal-Mart entered the grocery industry, WD entered its long decline. Aldi is converting a bunch of WD locations over to Aldi stores and spinning off the rest. So the answer is Aldi and the remaining Winn-Dixies. Plus Wal-Mart.

>>21462373 (OP)
same reason people go to trader joes, to avoid the plebs. their fresh produce is pretty decent but to shop there buying anything not on sale or bogo is just throwing money away. also I guess the pub subs are okay'ish and has the same cult following as costco hotdog level of cumsoomerizm
and they pay their workers more so if you want to help fund your fellow wagies without walmart or amazon level slavery then thats a added bonus
>>21462470
this is pretty much the only reason
same reason people go to target
my town has had walmart and kroger for 30 years and we just got a publix last year. the typical customers shop at publix and never busy

>>21464607
Publix is a largest employee owned company in the world. That tends to make them treat the employees better than competitors. That the chain is able to succeed shows there's a large enough market for higher price groceries in a somewhat nicer environment.
Kroger prices over the past few years have risen so much that I don't see Publix as being that much more expensive, especially since Publix has far better sales.

>>21464590
Aldi's and Costco are the only two stores true Floridians shop at now.
>publix=a big sandwich store
>winn dixie=dirty minority staffed shithole
>bravo=winn dixie but mexican

>>21462373 (OP)
Their fresh departments are all solid and totally worth it if you follow their weekly deals, but there is never a reason to buy groceries there. Still I get it, people are willing to spend more to avoid minorities.

>>21464614
>winn dixie but mexican
That's Fresco, because it's literally Winn-Dixie but Mexican

>>21464614

>winn dixie=dirty minority staffed shithole

That's Rowes lol

what about whole foods why buy here>?

>>21462373 (OP)
They need to make their subs more expensive. It's like $12 for 4.chicken fingers from the deli. But, they will put 4 fingers on a sub for $10. Blacks will wait in line for 30 minutes to get the chicken tender sub. Rais the price to $25 and weed them out.

>>21462373 (OP)
Only place to get good meat and fish, everything else you can buy in walmart

>>21466681
Publix meat is pretty expensive. But, it's still cheaper than Kroger. Kroger is insane, and they don't even have decent cuts.

It's the only place I can find Fry's Turkish Delights. They have me by the balls.

>>21464590
I go to costco for all my bulk necessities, chicken breast and ground turkey and such, then supplement with occasional trips to publix or aldis as needed. If i didn't have it then god only knows because publix meat prices are absurd now. Aldis is alright but the quality is just a little shit.

>>21462470
This. This is the price to pay now.

>>21462373 (OP)
i just go to a bunch of local markets and sprouts and sometimes trader joe's.

Too many people in florida and constant throngs of out of state carpetbaggers moving here = tons and tons of retards who think they're paying for a "premium" and to not rub elbows with the riff raff. Which is bullshit, every time I walk through a publix I see nothing but absurd prices, stoners and non english speakers working the deli, and lowlifes/unattended children everywhere. You might as well go to Walmart/Winn Dixie at that rate. Best case you have a costco near you but if not you're shit out of luck. The solution is to force everyone not born in Florida to move out because we're full.

>Make state free
>Have to get the money somewhere
Floridans really thought they'd managed to make a free state.

None of you are above going to Walmart, you’re just retards who are easily separated from their money.

>>21462373 (OP)

Funny you should post this now. About a month ago I completely stopped going to Publix. I realized my bill there was always unreasonable high. Now I get 90% of my stuff at Aldi. Ive cut my food bill almost in half. Its insane. The food is just as good. The only difference is Aldi has fewer employees so theres no asking you if you need help, etc, but honestly as an autist I like that. I dont really want to talk to people. I just want to get my food and go home. Aldi really is the perfect store

>>21462470
I see "certain people" more often in Publix near me these days than in Aldi. Fuck I really need to move

>>21464590
Target or Aldi
But I still go to Publix because it's closer to my house and they usually have better quality produce and for BOGOs

>>21467502
I don't buy food where they sell Axe Body Spray.

>>21467814
>as an autist

>>21462447
lol Gottem

>>21464602
Imagine having over 900 stores in a single state. I feel like I'm tripping.

>>21468535
About as many as they have Dollar General locations.
