I have been shopping here for 20 years, and I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten strawberries that have molded (you couldn't see it until it was opened) or even other items that were moldy (from the fruit dept). I cannot tell you how frustrating it has been with the limitations on choices on items in that it seems Winn-Dixie (corporate) is trying to take away choices and is selling its own replacement products, which are not as good (Vanilla wafers, etc.).
And while we appreciate the recycling bin out front, when I called to inquire about what type of plastics it takes, I got the answer from the Manager (Marty), "It takes plastic bags and things." I explained to Marty that sometimes there are restrictions on the types of plastic accepted by the recycler and I was told it was sent to the distribution center and he has the number (it is not public) and while only he could call it, it just wasn't that important for him to do so (he didn't say it in these words, he just kept saying "give us your plastic we'll send it on.") When I pressed about contacting the distribution center and getting that info, he passed. Thank you Winn Dixie for providing this service, but I spend a lot of time cleaning and prepping my recyclables and I don't want it just tossed back into the garbage.
To St. Charles Parish, I think we need curbside recycling. We are far too lovely of a parish to be outdone by Orleans and Jefferson, and having your residents drive 10+ miles to and from where we have to drop off our recyclables is not providing a service, especially in light of what we already pay for trash pick up. This is a subject I will be addressing with the council.
But for now, back to Winn-Dixie ... it's great you are providing this service, but it would be even better if you provided better information AND gave us some choices as to what we can buy when we visit your store. So, for now, I will visit the Winn-Dixie and Rouse's in Metairie.
Oh and good job on the upgrade. Can you tell me why you increased the liquor section, decreased our choices AND moved everything around so now no one can find anything. And, honestly, are we the stepchildren of Winn-Dixie because you have little competition? The updated Winn-Dixie's in Metairie and New Orleans were done very well and their choices are amazing.
