Publix WC is Packed - Combat Grocery Shopping Time Has Arrived

[30A Skunkape]

Based on the license plates we were seeing when we were coming back from Pensacola on I-10, the invasion of the Republic of Texas is about to begin.

Well, what do you think Hands Across the Sand was all about?;-)

We just went to the new Publix and it was as busy as I have ever seen it. I wish I would have gotten a picture, but we got the few things we needed and the cashier at the '10 items or less' let out a groan as he saw the cart behind us was already partially unloaded on the conveyer, maybe about 20 things ready to go and about a weeks worth of food in the cart. The kids were throwing plastic beach crap on the conveyer as mom and dad were distracted with the important matters like making sure the white zin and Coronas were in sufficient quantity.

Well, it was Sunday afternoon and I needed to go to Publix. Had a prescription to pick up so Panama City Beach it was. It wasn't too bad. Checkout clerk said Saturday was a killer. But, next to SoWal, Publix is one of the better places for gossip. On Aisle 1, next to the wine and trail mix, I heard that Britte Green had bought a place at WaterColor and that it would just be a short time before all the inventory below $1 MILLION DOLLARS was sold out.

To my amazement, Publix at Carillon Beach wasn't too bad Saturday at 2 - 3 o'clock, but I think I hit it before all the arrivals settled in and headed out for a beer run. Back Beach Road eastbound from 79 was packed, as was 231 to 23rd St heading west.

I had to wait 10 minutes to get out of City Hall yesterday and pull onto 90/331s. The cars heading south were non-stop.

What's Up?? What were you doing at City Hall on a Sunday? Were you in jail?

For all ya'll from out of county, there are no "cities" in South Walton or SOB (South of the Bay). There are only three incorporated cities, all north of the bay, in Walton County. Good buddy, Aleonard, is talking about DeFuniak Springs City Hall. There are also no Publix stores in North Walton, yet. Heard Freeport was getting one. DeFuniak Springs and Paxton are waiting.

*whispers conspiratorially* Rumour has it that Aleonard beat up another biker gang that got unruly at the Defuniak Walmart! *gasps* ;-)

See, that would not have happened it they had a Publix. Or wait, we did have an unfortunate confrontation between trucks one day.

For everyones info the wc publix is the #1 publix in the us during summer months. i confirmed that with 2 publix managers

I am not surprised! The location is primo. and though it is a small store, the management and staff make it extremely accommodating with the best in customer service.

as much as we complain about the mobs of tourists in our grocery stores when we need to food shop - in all truth I can get in and out pretty easily without much stress - most of the time. Publix is really good about staffing up whenever its needed so there is never a huge wait in line to check out. If you can handle the crowd in the tiny aisles, then its not that big of a deal. most of the time.

the new publix was packed out a few days ago - but still - no wait to check out. all went very smoothly.

I am grateful for Publix! thanks for coming to SoWal!!! now I never ever ever ever have to leave the 'hood.

And all those tax dollars spent in Sowal!
