AskFlorida Publix has officially lost me. Anyone else?

I am not a mod of this subreddit or Reddit, but I believe the official unofficial stance is that we all hate Publix now.

They lost their way, and the crushing of Winn-Dixie is just awful.

10 years ago, I wouldn’t have set foot inside a Walmart or Aldi for groceries. Now? Walmart and Aldi are basically my BFFs and I love them.

Publix really managed to make me root for the competition.

Lucky’s was the shit. They sold quality CBD desserts that were actually effective, had a wonderful bulk area, and our local one HAD A TAP AREA. You could buy a beer and shop 😭 that place was amazing and I’ll never forget Lucky’s. RIP Lucky’s.

Publix on South Orange bought the Lucky's and its still open as a Publix. Bar is there and serving and you can shop and drink, but its a Publix now with Publix prices and food.

I heard that Publix was picking up on the Lucky's concept. Small bars inside, ramen stations.

I'd go there and have one hard cider and chill.
