“Publix engages in price gauging every day. My son likes these bakery cookies and due to demand I guess, the price went up a dollar overnight. They could have at least went .50 cents but they don't care.
It says employee owned but it's got cooperate greed all over it. Also, I noticed after the Covid scam, items doubled in price. It's a sad day in America when greed dominates essentials like electric, water and food.”
“Not going back to Publix. Chobani 20 gram yogurt 4 pack cost $8.19. I don’t care about bogos. I am not buying from them again. Publix do you raise prices for your own profit? You are no longer a pleasure but makes life harder. I don’t care how good you try to prove yourself to be better because you are not.”
“Bought the carrot cake cupcakes, taste like a very mild spice cake nothing like carrot cake and the frosting was buttercream not the avertised cream cheese frosting. Very dissappointed.”
“Publix is biggest ripoff. There prices are double on 80% of there products
Look for alternative stores trust me you would save half of your monthly grocery bill.”
“I brought today, Iced Cinnamon Swirl Cake $6.49/ expired 3/23/2026 , I've never had any bake good that was awful. Hardly any cinnamon. It was dry and the frosting tasted bad, too. Very disappointing in Publix bakery.”
“To expensive for people on fixed income. Publix up charges their Bogo items. Walmart is almost half the charge on same item. Publix half gallon flavored coffee creamer in half gallon is almost $10.00 and Walmart is $ 6.50. I encourage everyone to STOP shopping Publix”
“This is the 3rd time I have bought Chicken at Publix and it is not only tough and flavorless, but I have had two whole chickens I used as a beer can chicken on the grill and it came off like a piece of rubber. Today, I purchased two rib in breasts, 2 skin on thighs and package of wings, that I was putting in a frying pan to brown,(after the flour, salt and pepper). I then transferred to a large stock pot and put in the oven at 225 degrees for 1 and 1/2 hrs. Meat was falling off the bone but extremely tough and absolutely no flavor. I don't know who your supplier is, but I will never buy any Chicken or any other meat's at Publix. Especially when I pay lots more for product at Publix. Thank you; Tom Pifer, Spring Hill, Fl.”
“I wanted them to stock Frozen goya sofrito I had a friend who work there and she had the manager get it in and it was great I bought alot of it. My friend quit and now I see they don't carry it. I thought you are suppose to help out your customer will you please get this product back. At the five forks store or mauldin.”
“Hire a new assistant pharmacy manager, Will A. Was right on in his review . Our family will never set foot in a Publix again
My physician sent a prescription electronically, it was for a controlled substance. We were told the prescription would be ready in a week. 8 days later, my wife goes to the pharmacy to pick up my medication and is told by the associate that they do not carry that medication. My wife shows the prescription and how they accepted the prescription. She then ask the associate, why would you accept a prescription for something you don't carry a tell us to pick it up on a specific date. My wife has documentation in her hand, the electronic transcript and prescription.
The associate was flustered and the line was getting longer. The associate asked the assistant pharmacy manager Maria Elena, whom was on the phone like dealing with someone or something else, she yelled down that she didn't have time to deal with that woman and echoed what the associate said.
When my wife came home fuming and upset that she couldn't get my medication for the pain I was in following a spinal fusion.
I became livid, not about the medicine, but how she was treated at a store we go to for our entire family's prescription and shopping 2-3 times a week, guessing we spend about $50k a year.
So being livid I called Publix headquarters, good luck getting someone on the phone with a pulse. I finally did and there solution was to have Maria Elena call to find out what happened. She had lots of questions, but when I told her the rude associate in question was her. Her tone immediately changed into the rude person that spoke to my wife. She said it never happened, it's not her nature to be rude to a client, but here she was on the phone being rude to me. She insisted it wasn't her. I then asked, is there another assistant manager , older, heavy set with thinning hair, as you can expect, that didn't go well and she dug in harder and said my wife was mistaken. I then said, there is 2 sides to the story, one with nothing to gain and the other defending bad behavior. So I said, if you are telling me the truth, then you're telling me my wife made this up and is lying to me. Her response was you are putting words in my mouth , I said no I am not. If your story is true, my wife lied. But I know my wife, she fought for my prescription and held up the line. I said mam, you are a rude person that has no place in the service industry, you were to call me and apologize, instead, she treated me just like my wife.
Well PUBLIX, i know your a big corporation and we used to love shopping there, but we are taking our $50,000 dollars a year and going to Milan's, Walgreens any place other than Publix.
Based upon other reviews on this site, you have a problem and folks are growing tired of how we are being treated. We are just the beginning of folks making choices about the way they wish to be treated.
No need to contact me, I have already experienced how you handle your problems. No I don't need a fruit basket or a gift certificate...... there is a change coming and the message is out.
WHAT amazes me is reading all the reviews and that pharmacy has a 1.8 rating and Publix to my knowledge has done nothing.
Keep the reviews coming!”
“The romaine lettuce is always brown towards the bottom and they still put it on the shelves. I showed a worker and he agreed and took it off the shelf. Their prices are very high and the quality has dropped”
“This is the second time I had gastric distress after eating Publix cake. The first time was the tiramisu but I couldn’t imagine it being that, but this time it was the carrot cake. The abdominal pain followed by diarrhea made me aware it was from the cake.,unbelievable. Just last week the slices were BOGO, so this must have been the leftover cake. I have a cold so my taste buds are off. The cake was dry and it didn’t taste like the carrot cake I’m use to, but I thought it was because I have a cold. I’m all set and will not be buying cake from them anymore. Thank goodness I didn’t finish the whole slice of cake. I tried to upload a picture but it said unable to upload.”
“I went to your store in Palm Harbor and was given a guilt trip and attitude by my cashier when I couldn't donate to your charity. That was wrong of him. I was mortified!”
“Stop selling sushi you obviously don't know what the f--k you are doing. Can't be a money maker you are too stupid! Just pissing off loyal customers.”
“How management in Chapin and Elgin stores have very good employees, show up everyday and work hard. When it comes to annual raise tells employee you missed days. Come to find out they were pto days, and tells employee, as they know they were pre-approved days off with time accrued for them, too bad cannot do nothing until next year. Same thing they said last year after screwing great employees out of money. Good luck keeping great employees that way. Hopefully management can do better than that. All them rumors of Publix as an great employer are going down hill.”
“Fed up with Publix. Purchased chicken thighs and the meat was white and dark meat on what appears to be a chicken leg bone. Done with Publix. Looking forward to Aldis opening soon in the Winn Dixie store location in Palm Harbor, FL GOODBYE PUBLIX!!!”
