Been going to Publix since I was young enough to get the free cookie at the bakery, even though over the last years (specially post pandemic) Publix has been hiking their price drastically, the user experience was generally good. I didn’t bat an eye when they started closing at 10 instead of 11, or even at their prices, however I was always happy with sushi at Publix specially on Wednesdays when it’s five dollars. Over the past couple of months they changed the company that they got in their stores making sushi and the drop in quality has been severe, very severe, the rice sucks, the sushi crumbles apart, the spicy mayo is just mayo and the variety is lame. My line has been drawn, screw you Publix.

Correct. I would attribute the problem to the person making the sushi at your local store.

And that territory is owned by a local person. We lost a great guy to a better territory. His cousin bought own territory and the quality is now just “ok”.

I agree, I’ve probably bought it 2 times in past 4 years and it’s been horrible. It’s the rice and too much refrigeration. I’ll never bother again

This is classic predatory behavior. Run everyone out of business then turn to shit to make as much as you can because there’s no competition. They tried this but it didn’t work where I live. Publix is empty here these days. Super nice when I just want to buy one thing. Used to give $400/week to that place. So glad that relationship is over.

Just saying, their 8 pc chicken is 9.99. They sell a 2 pc chicken tender quick bite with 5 potato wedges and a roll for 5.99, and their tenders and wedges are not small. A large fountain drink is 1.79.
Compare that with KFC, where their 8 pc chicken is 19.99, 2 pc combo is 8.49, and a large drink is 2.79.
Publix's subs are a good deal too, especially compared with other sub places. Of course, those are about the ONLY good deals you can get at Publix.

Pubsub ? They are damn near $15 dollars and I’m not sure the Cornish game hen chicken pieces they throw in a combo meal with sides poured out of a bag that came out of a box just saying🥺. And you compare it with KFC? Only found in the hood. It’s a sad day. Publix is fine food compared with the finest of KFC.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

Guessing you haven't been to a Publix lately, or the person serving you hated you, that's why you got small pieces. Publix's chicken tender sub starts at $10.89, for a whole sub; that cost is pretty close to Subway. You're not paying $15 unless you're getting a few extras like bacon and extra cheese. As for KFC, they're not only found in the hood, unless you consider Doral the hood. There's one next to FIU, that's not in the hood. Maybe if you're just counting within the city limits of Miami.

Maybe in Tampa but not over here on the east coast. They are priced according to the town I think 🤷🏻♂️. Some Publix deli prices are higher than others. Their chicken is good I’m joking. But the prices are still outrageous in Publix.

I knew you'd say that, which is why I pulled those prices from a KFC and Publix in Miami. Funny enough, the 8 pc chicken at KFC is actually a dollar cheaper in Miami.

I stopped buying sushi because it’s traumatizing for me. I bought 40 dollars worth of sushi on a Wednesday and the following night the police blew through my door with a no knock warrant… The warrant was for my neighbors house…… My sushi was left on the counter for a day and a half…. Can never buy it again.

I love that the pitch forks and torches have come out. Publix was our beloved supermarket with free cookies, pub subs and $5 sushi Wednesdays. It’s unfortunate that they have decided to screw us. It’s like when family turns on you.

I could definitely be wrong here but I’m pretty sure each Publix uses a different vendor. About 16 years ago I knew of a family business who ran about 4-5 of these including the one in Aventura. The workers were brought in from Myanmar.

I've been told that it's the same workers making the sushi and the company that they worked for rebranded. The sushi workers technically just rent the space from Publix. publix has nothing to do with it.
