On the way out our balloon exploded with a loud pop! The manager ran out and checked on us, seeing our balloon foil flapping in the wind. He quickly ran back into the store and replaced our balloon with a gold "1" AND a giant strawberry balloon. Gosh, how amazing to be treated with such kindness and generosity! Our daughter will have photos with her Publix cupcakes and balloons for her first birthday and our family will always remember the great manager who made sure our party had balloons! Thank you!!

However I would not recommend my worst enemy to get the treatment I received on yesterday. I wanted a salad but the lady working the counter was rude and inconsiderate. She made it loud and uncomfortably clear that she didn't want to make it. She didn't even want to chop my tenders. Please just buy a salad off the shelf if you have to.

Best service at a Publix pharmacy is here…read more Sweet techs and they will complete transfers for you if other places are out. They also help you with directions.

So this is a rare review of Publix for me as I believe that they are far and above the best Alabama…read moregrocery store. However my experience today did not resonate that. And really more speaking about two employees more than the store overall. When you go to the pharmacy, usually it's not the best thing in the world either you're in pain or something along those lines I get I may not have been answering the question to the best of my ability but to kind of get frustrated with me was kind of out of line.. but I will say Ethan makes up for it by always being exceptionally nice and pleasurable when I've had to speak with him. The other employee just really did not seem to know how to operate the customer service desk or answer questions that was being asked, which is very unusual as I feel that Publix has some of the best customer service, but unfortunately that was not today. Adding to that I feel like the bathrooms were really not up to public standard standards of cleanliness. The pictures is kind of don't do justice as it would not be someplace. I would run into use the restroom.

There are two women standing there texting on their phones and they are very rude if you ask them to check you out. So we drive past this nearby store to Publix. It is sad since the other employees are very nice. They don't have some basic items like Dukes Mayo. I hope they get a new manager or close this store so a better one can come in.

I love this location for whatever reason. The staff is nice and pleasant. Like my last name. Lol Ryan did a really good job assisting me at checkout. I won't let years pass before I visit this location again. Good inventory. Nice produce section. Decentralized beer and wine selection.

Still a one star. Their produce department either orders rotten fruit or it sits until I finally…read morebuy it. I am getting fatigued of the totally inedible rotten fruit that looks fresh but is totally rotting from the inside out. The chemicals they must spray on their produce must be investigated at this point. Makes zero sense how grapes, apples, bananas, oranges can all look fresh but when cut open are rotting from the inside. Every. Single. Week. We get our groceries delivered and there is no way so many diverse delivery drivers are able to consistently pick rotting fruit just for us. This is a serious concern and continued problem. Publix do you hear me and surely millions of others complaining? Do better publix. Geez

The chocolate cake itself was pretty good, but not amazing. Still giving this cake a good rating because the design of the cake was very nice and looked expensive and the chocolate ganache did make the cake! Also, wanted to add the vanilla and chocolate design swirls around the cake were a nice added touch and elevated the design overall.

I wish they had longer hours because I love this store. I wish they stayed open until 10 p.m., as…read moreit would make shopping much more convenient. Outside of that, I have no complaints. They have some of the best prepared foods you'll find at a grocery store in Birmingham. The daily deals are also fantastic. I especially love the $5-per-pound wings on Fridays and the $5 pizzas on Tuesdays--honestly, I love all of the $5 deals! They really come in handy when I'm trying to stick to a budget. The bakery is also amazing, especially the 3-for-$12 dessert deal. The staff is always kind, friendly, and ready to help. The store has always been clean every time I've visited, and it has a pleasant atmosphere that makes shopping enjoyable. Even though the store isn't very big, it's easy to spend much more time there than you planned because there are so many unique items that you don't find at other grocery stores.

They just have great stuff and some of the best quality meat in town. I'd recently heard about the $5 Thursday bistro meal deal, and was reminded to check it out. I'll be back on a Thursday! Today, I took home some sushi for lunch. Prices are the exact same as sushi from The Pig or Publix, but the sushi is so much better looking and tasting. The salmon and avocado roll was fantastic. The dairy section is small, but I should probably eat less dairy anyway. I enjoy walking around and seeing all the fun packaging (I tell myself I'm not falling for marketing gimmicks, just appreciating good design). The had some chicken breast and coffee creamer on BOGO free deals that I scooped up. The people at the check-out lines are always so nice. I believe there's a discount for UAB employees, too.

They let us set up a table near the entrance and their customers could pick up a list from us to see what school supplies were needed. Some people got a list and picked up a few items when they did their shopping. Since mostly in the store is practically $1, it was easy for people to donate without breaking the bank. The store is clean and organized. This isn't the closest dollar store to me, but I'd come to this one for the reason of the support they gave to my Kiwanis club.

I asked for help unloading the cart and the cashier refused. Instead of taking one or two minutes to unload my cart, she left her station, went to the manager and ask for someone to come to the front to unload my cart. Not only was the cashier able to help unload it but there were three other employees standing around the front who could have helped. They all refused to help me. I left the store without my groceries and will never shop at this store again. It is not set up for senior citizens. They have no front helpt to unload carts, or help out to the car. They have three very old scooters that are not charged. It is not properly managed and does not deserve the business of older Leeds citizens. I urge senior Leeds citizens to boycott this store and shop somewhere that values our business and shows it by being helpful to those of us who need help.
