Publix Super Market - Macaroni salad is a hit

DISCLAIMER: This review is very similar to my review of Publix Super Market in Panama City Beach,…read moreFL. We were staying at a friend's condo in Seagrove Beach, FL for a weeklong family vacation to include my parents, my sister and her family as well as my family. Once we arrived at the condo, we needed to go to the grocery store to fill up our refrigerator with food & drink for the week. A quick Yelp search revealed that Publix was one of the closer stores to our location. As I do not have a Publix near my house, I decided to try them out. I mean, a grocery store is a grocery store......right? Wrong! As soon as I pulled up, I noticed, that although the parking lot was crowded, there were no stray grocery carts littering the parking lot. And even though it was fairly crowded on the inside, the shelves were still well stocked and there were plenty of employees replenishing the supplies. The employees were also very friendly and willing to help if a certain item could not be located. I feel the prices are slightly higher than my local Louisiana (New Orleans) grocery store, but I was willing to pay a little more to shop in a store where I found everything I needed. If I am ever back vacationing in the area, this Publix will be my grocery of choice.

If you want to see what grocery price gouging looks like in its natural habitat, go visit the…read morePublix Super Market at WaterColor Crossings that serves Seaside and Seagrove. Walking into that store feels less like grocery shopping and more like accidentally wandering into a tourist-trap convenience store wearing a Publix costume. Everything is pristine. Everything is organized. Everything is friendly. And everything costs an absolutely absurd amount of money. A quick trip for a few basics turns into a receipt that looks like you accidentally bought groceries for a small wedding. You grab a few staples such as milk, eggs, sandwich meat, maybe a jar of mayo and suddenly you're staring at a total that makes you wonder if the cashier slipped a Rolex and a beach condo deposit into your bag. And the worst part is that nothing about the experience justifies it. This isn't some boutique organic market. It's just a normal Publix that realized it sits between Seaside vacation rentals and Highway 30A tourists with sunburns and no other options. The pricing feels less like inflation and more like a calculated shakedown of anyone within five miles who needs groceries. And this isn't just imagination. Publix has been getting hammered by shoppers across Florida for prices that can run 30-50% higher than competitors on basic items. People are literally posting receipts online because they can't believe how much they paid for ordinary groceries. That's exactly how this store feels. You walk in thinking: "Publix -- where shopping is a pleasure." You walk out thinking: "Publix -- where shopping is a financial mugging with fluorescent lighting." Sure, the employees are nice. Sure, the floors are clean. But none of that makes it easier to swallow paying vacation-town ransom prices for groceries that cost dramatically less literally anywhere else. The Seagrove/Seaside Publix isn't a grocery store. It's a well-lit toll booth for people who ran out of food on 30A.

I'm staying in the area for a month & overall, this is your run of the mill, what's to be expected…read moreWalmart... good selection of all kinds of products, fairly fresh produce, good quality but slightly pricey meats & huge selection of frozen & canned foods, if that's your thing. The store is always a bit disorganized with racks of clothing blocking the path, items discarded by shoppers on the wrong shelves & some shelves needing restocking, but I feel that just goes to show how many use the store on a daily basis & how it's understaffed, like most big box stores. The ever full parking lot alone tells you how many shop here throughout the day/night. I don't echo the commenters speaking to rudeness of employees, but, I don't know what they're expecting... this is a WMart, where the local masses come for bargains & is the only one within miles, so it attracts all kinds of workers & guests. There is also a huge extended hotel directly across the street, further adding to the entertainment one might find roaming about, but then again, I'm a kamikaze shopper & am in & out as fast as my strappy sandals will carry me. As far as strange employees... well, again, it's a WMart, so I'm not expecting a Neiman Marcus experience. We all come for the same reason... cheapest prices around, convenient location with lots of parking, everything under 1 roof. Bonus: Open 24/7. Note that around 9-10pm (I forget now), you can only enter/exit through 1 door, so if you're a late night shopper, park over by the left entrance (when facing the bldg). This location also has: * Brand new, small, 2-4 chair Hair Salon... unfortunately, located right across from the registers, so your neighbors can see you get your fancy curly perm. Still prices are reasonable ($14+ haircuts) & the young women are pleasant. Might be better for kids or men getting quick cuts, since we women prefer a little privacy when traipsing around with a tangled, wet mane. * Small bank kiosk (I forget which branch, but I'll update next time I visit)... you'll find it by the ever present line of customers, especially military staff, to the right of the registers (when entering the store). * Vision Center, which never seems to be staffed. I've wanted to get my glasses tightened for a week, so hopefully, I'll find someone present within the next week. * Pharmacy... (just inside the right door). As in most stores, busy & always a line. * Rumor also has it there's a Tire & Lube Express & Photo Center, but as I'm not looking for them, I haven't noticed them. * Connection Center for cellphones, in Electronics. The cons? * Floors need to be cleaner, especially near the produce isles & meat cases. * Grossly understaffed & the wait times are reflected in the attitudes of annoyed shoppers everywhere in the store. There are long lines at the deli, bakery & all the aforementioned, besides Electronics (if you can find an employee in that section to assist you). Paying a few extra staff to prevent long register lines, in particular, would be most appreciated. Even your staff seems a bit flustered at time. It's not going to break the bank of the Walton family to add 1/2-dozen stockers & cashiers. Overall... standard WMart. No better, but no worse than any other I've seen. 3* out of 5. I only shop when I need something cheaply, it's the only place around as I'm traveling and I'm prepared to wait in line, even for the self checkout lines.

Don't go for a oil change if your driver side door doesn't open from the inside. Ridiculous, go to…read moretake 5 wear you can sit in your car while they change your oil!!!!!!! The trashy looking white guy is rude and doesn't want to be there .aside from stealing from you with weighing down the meat and making people pay double at the self checkout if you pay online. It's true they were sued for it!!!!! It's not that bad for shopping at your own risk.
