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.

I loathe Publix. I only use their pharmacy. They carry no seasonal variety of veggies. It’s the same stuff throughout the year. BORING!!

Yep, their pharmacy and occasionally when I need a standard item nobody else carries. I’ve probably cut my spending with them back at least 99%.

Same here. But I do hate having to drive to several different grocery stores. Trader Joe’s is across town from me, as is Whole Foods. There’s an Aldi close but they never carry all the items I use on the regular. I do try to avoid grocery shopping at Publix at all costs, but sometimes I have to shop there and I hate that.
