Okay, Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this store. It's a short walk from where I live, and I began shopping here as opposed to the Paces Ferry location since this one opened up. The store is always well stocked and CLEAN. I have also been helped by some really friendly employees both at the registers and on the aisles. Right. With that said, store employees haven't always been super friendly, and that's fine! A simple "hello, did you find everything you were shopping for today?" when I'm checking out is just fine. I've gladly accepted that or slightly less from store employees at various retailers across the nation LOL! What I found really disappointing is the lack of LIFE in SOME store employees. Tonight, a cashier, who was helping the woman ahead of my dad and I in line, was scanning the same stick of deodorant for 5 minutes before my dad asked "is everything ok with the computer?" and the cashier had the nerve to look up at my dad, say nothing, and then shift his eyes back to the computer. :-( At that point, I told my dad we were leaving the items (which unfortunately included perishables) on the belt, and going to the next nearest Publix location. I usually would not DARE do that, but...I don't accept that kind of treatment ANYWHERE. My dad is a senior and asked a simple question, that actually deserved an answer seeing that this particular cashier hasn't been trained to apologize to the next customers in line for the wait and let them know that he will be right with them. Is it the hardest thing in the world to ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THE CUSTOMER?? Like, DUDE!! I spend my hard earned money where I feel like my patronage is appreciated. Again, I'm not looking for someone to wear matching sweaters with or braid my hair and have a tea party with me right there in one of the aisles. Simple common courtesy would suffice. Do your job like you're grateful to have it, because there are MANY MANY MANY people out there who would GLADLY RELIEVE YOU of your "GRUELING" position. Store is wonderfully stocked and kept, customer service is a 3 star deal for me. The great ones are really great, and then the ones who aren't great are terrible, which makes for a 3 star experience in my book. These retailers and restaurant owners need to make it clear to their employees that customer service is half the shopping experience. read more
