Publix Super Markets

I have been shopping at this location for nine years. But I’m pretty sure it won’t be for much longer.
The stars I gave are for one cashier, Craig, who is the greatest but has been out for several months. He deserves five stars. The other star is for the tall young man in the meat Dept. He’s not only easy on the eyes, but is the best counter person/​cutter there. Five stars for him too.
Now the disappointing parts.
The deli is RIDICULOUS! There are always six or seven people floating around and ignoring customers while one or two poor workers pick up their slack. It has always been like this. Yesterday the deli mgr on duty was one of the people who hid in the back room. I was NEXT to be served and still waited 15 minutes. The deli at the Punta Gorda store is not like this. Packing out products and doing pre pack sandwiches needs to be put on hold when customers are waiting. It’s the worst deli I’ve ever been to. The prices are outrageous (as are most of their items) and no matter what the slice looks like when they show it to you, when you get home it will be thicker or thin and impossible to peel off. This can only happen by staff deliberately setting the slicer to the desired thickness guaranteed to piss you off.
If you speak with any manager, you will get a patronizing attitude. Better off emailing Corporate.
When I was picking out eggs yesterday a man filling the eggs from behind the scene was YELLING at another employee. Umm, should customers be forced to see and hear staff verbally abused? I think not. He should’ve gone to the deli those people deserve to be yelled at.
There is never any parking and there are a lot of elderly shoppers who have nasty attitudes. This is not an insult to all elderly people. The women are the worst.
If a manager has to run a register, he will be rude to you. Trust me. Give someone a title and the transformation to a giant Tool is instantaneous.
I’m hoping that switching to a new location will restore my faith in Publix. But this location should be bulldozed over. They’re always out of sale stuff, no matter what time you go. I realize that vendors supply a lot and Publix can’t control their deliveries – but can’t they order more product?
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.
Quesada Commons Publix. Where shopping is a disappointment.

It’s a grocery store. What can be said. They take your money and give you food. One of life’s necessities unless you are a survivalist and grow your own.
On vacation and needed food.
The deli was swamped and none of the other workers in the area did not offer to help.
Tells me something is wrong with the leadership team.

We always look forward to visiting this location or any Publix went on vacation. They are always well-​stocked very clean and have one of the best pies ever which is a mango Keylime pie which I crave consistently throughout the year. Unfortunately we live in Ohio with no Publix lol. We will continue to visit Publix when in Florida on vacation and visiting family.

Their sushi chef prepares the best sushi of all the Publix stores in the area. He makes this custom type of sushi burrito using tuna, shrimp, or salmon. Absolutely brilliant.
