I am on the fence about Publix. Are they a generally cleaner store than when this location was a Bi Lo? Yes. The staff are friendlier too, though sometimes too much so. Especially when they first opened - I couldn't walked more than a few feet without someone asking if I needed help.
They do have a good International section with a variety of options from different countries. The sushi is a very good quick lunch option, and they have some well-priced pre-packaged sandwiches if you are trying to get back to your desk.
The wine organization irritates me so I have only purchased one bottle from them and I probably couldn't find it again if I tried. They organize their wine by "flavor profile" instead of white / red and subcategories or even region. I know what type of wine I like and it is much easier when a store places all the pinots in one section and the cabs in another. I miss the Bi Lo organization and discount on wine. I will mention that Publix does wine and snack tastings, though I am not sure of the schedule.
The clerks are friendly and even wait at the end of their register when they are open and not currently serving a customer. They will take your cart to the parking lot and give you a coupon for free applesauce once they have loaded your groceries into your vehicle. Everything I have purchased from there has been good quality, but the prices are higher than expected unless you catch something on discount. I do like that you don't have to keep track of a loyalty card to get their discounts; they automatically give them to you.
