We miss Publix. They were our store when we lived in Atlanta.
One afternoon, a thunderstorm caused a power outage in the area. We went to our then regular grocery store. They stopped us at the door, saying they were closed.

THAT is how you run a business!
I remember few outstanding grocery stores in our travels ... High bar of expectation.
