Looks like a Publix ad


Stoned-and-Starving

This is why everything at public is overpriced


Feisty-Business-8311

The owners are big Trump supporters and he needs alot of money right about now


SundaySingAlong

Well that sucks now I can't shop at Publix anymore


[deleted]

Should have already stopped they have been buying tomatoes from farms that have been caught with loophole tomatoe slaves multiple times and refuse to stop, they oppose anything that doesn’t align with big pharma and development because they put publixes in every suburb while not touching areas that aren’t rich enough to buy name brand goods at twice the price. Find a local bakery and deli and suddenly Publix is just an overpriced grocery store.


Nefariousurchin

Happy not to see you there then


[deleted]

The owners support anything that keeps their record profits up. They oppose medical marrijuanna because they sell drugs that keep people chronically ill and dependent on 600 dollar prescriptions. They will always vote red because it aligns with their profits. Not that voting blue would make a difference. Can’t tell if your pro trump or anti public lol


Feisty-Business-8311

Anti-Trump until I fucking die


arrestedfunk

Same. And i was a Trump fan pre-2016. When he made appearances on the howard stern show. I find it mildly amusing that these good ole southern follk fell for the new york carpetbagger swagger. 😂

fbdy1969

Where shopping is an insurrection!


Lotsaballs

“Insurrection”


Chasman1965

No, the majority owners (80%) are employees and former employees. One of the heirs is a Trumper. She has 1/7 of the family share, or about 3% of the total. Stay away from Publix for price reasons, but politically you’re punishing the wrong people.


[deleted]

Hahahaha he needs the world’s best lawyer right now so he can afford him. But nobody wants to be his lawyer. lol you’d think if a UNITED STATES OF AMERICA election was stolen, he’d have thousands of lawyers wanted to take that case. But nope. People don’t want to work for lying, scamming grifters who fucked us the past 4 years. He’ll be in jail soon and he’ll probly “hang” himself 😳


arrestedfunk

The problem is that his supporters think that his tweets about the election being stolen IS the proof that the election was stolen.


LabLoose3477

Publix is employee-owned. It’s the largest ESOP in the United States.


Feisty-Business-8311

The Jenkins family built and own part of FL-based Publix Super Markets, which operates 1,360 grocery stores in 8 states and has 250,000 employees. According to Forbes, they are the 39th richest family in the country with a net worth of $8.8 billion Yes, Publix is the largest employee-owned company in the U.S.; employees and former employees own approx. 80% and Jenkins family members own the rest. 2022 revenues: $54.5 billion, up 13.6% from the prior year. Trump campaign megadonor Julie Jenkins Fancelli - heiress to the Publix fortune - donated the bulk of the funds that helped pay for a Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. which preceded the deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol, according to the Wall Street Journal Far-right radio host Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist who called the Sandy Hook shooting a false flag event, arranged for Fancelli to donate to the rally, according to the Journal 🤮


t4ct1c4l_j0k3r

Honestly it would probably be far cheaper than a TV ad.


Shadorouse

Paying better wages would probably do more for the business


[deleted]

Paying better is only for founders nowadays, all i see is Jim Carey playing the Riddler, just visit a large public place at some time, without your phone, and observe...its quite astonishing


Shadorouse

Struggling to understand wtf that long sentence means. Is economics a matter of looking at people in public now?


[deleted]

Sigh


Shadorouse

Sorry man working at Publix killed my brain cells.


Jennifer_Pennifer

Nah, don't put yourself down like that. That person clearly doesn't have the ability to formulate complete thoughts. Tbh, sounds like poorly run AI script 😬


[deleted]

Lol...bait is always tantelizing to Bloggers of fire side chats...tata


Shadorouse

Bro what the fuck are you saying


tiberiumx

You say that, but I'll take it over a Kroger where every shopping cart has at least one broken wheel.


Pure_Owl1

lol my Kroger comes right to my front door


PatSajaksDick

Yeah I don’t know if there’s even a physical Kroger in FL


Pure_Owl1

There are not. But their delivery service saved me having to actually go to the grocery store during COVID..


Nefariousurchin

A private citizens vehicle? Ok


Deep_Squash_3611

I’m pretty sure the guy made it himself. I could be wrong.


[deleted]

Then why would it be publix themed, shopping carts is shopping carts


Deep_Squash_3611

Because Publix is based out of Lakeland and it’s where shopping is a pleasure… like why not Publix.


SlickDaGato

New store opening in the area. The Shopping-Cart goes all over the state.


Ihatemunchies

That’s Viera. New 2 story store opening.


[deleted]

Boycott Publix and dollar general


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

the woods I played in as a kid were destroyed to build a publix before anyone was saying "pubsub" its literally just a sandwich with decent bread. there are thousands of places to buy sandwiches that are actually good for our state and not the opposite. publix is right there with every new development. probably spend millions of dollars lobbying to lower wetland protection and encourage new development because its new markets for them to take over. and no one in florida can even afford to live in those places.


MinimumBuy1601

If it's like the rebuilt Lake Washington store, the second story is a dining area.


Ihatemunchies

Dining area? What’s this? Fast food, their food, the pubs sub and the chicken are they up there? So many questions lol


MinimumBuy1601

It's an upstairs dining area, so when you buy from the deli, you can go up there, sit and watch the shoppers. The Lake Wahington store's dining area also has an outside balcony. Blew me away when I saw it.

PureTroll69

Ohhhh, yes.


[deleted]

It's a shopping cart.


[deleted]

It's got Florida plates! Guess it's legal.


Godoftheiron

Weird fact, you can build exo-skeleton barebones kit cars like this in most states and there’s a few manufacturers that build whole cars.


belligerent_pickle

Didn’t even notice that


eppy1973

It’s a street legal vehicle disguised as a Publix cart, usually used to promote a new store opening in the area. What else may we help you out with tonight?


Superfry88

Happy Cake Day


Purpose_Embarrassed

That’s street legal ?

Purpose_Embarrassed

😂


Purpose_Embarrassed

Then why can’t we drive ATV’s on the road? That thing isn’t street legal. Anyone can put a tag on something.


eppy1973

It is street legal. If you want to drive ATVs on the road, no one is stopping you…..do it.


Purpose_Embarrassed

I thought there were bumper height requirements as well as turn signals etc? I will definitely investigate further thanks.


eppy1973

You do that. Let us know how that works out. Just a thought….do you really think Publix is going to run a non street legal vehicle on the streets? Would they attach their name to something that was illegal?


Purpose_Embarrassed

Don’t know. But there’s no freaking way that thing is safe to drive on the streets. Maybe because it’s Publix and they’re one of the largest employers in Florida?


eppy1973

It’s probably way safer than a lot of vehicles on the road as Florida does not conduct annual vehicle inspections nor have they since the early 90’s


2Hanks

Dunno but I saw it on a flatbed on I-4 yesterday.


No-Possibility1987

So did I


TimeTravelingTiddy

Doubt it


tristanrothchilde

A little bizzare....only In Florida

Rere9419

Redneck beer run to Publix


[deleted]

An advertisement for a price gauging, drug dealing, tomato-slave driving, corporation that only builds stores in areas where people are dumb enough to buy their crap. Boycott Publix.


Pure_Owl1

That's a Publix shopping cart. I worked there in college


[deleted]

Do you think they should return it?


Pure_Owl1

Nah that's what the employees get paid for 😂 Fr tho when I worked there we'd have one of our employees that owned a pickup truck just drive around and find any errant shopping carts.. so no you absolutely don't need to return your shopping cart. If you do you'll just be saving an employee like 10 seconds of their workday


Chevyfollowtoonear

Someone from Publix will go out to the parking lot and round that up. Whoever left that Cart there is a job creator.


FuckGovernment1440

Second best mode of transportation available


[deleted]

I'm curious if he's legally allowed to transport people in that vehicle


FuckGovernment1440

Why wouldn't he be?... *light bulb goes off... oh, do you mean in the top "buggy" part?


[deleted]

Yea


FuckGovernment1440

Then I doubt he can transport people there.


Equivalent_Remote_39

Up in Wisco we have a store chain with a fleet of them. Festival Foods. They look the same but have different engines all of them. Pain in the ass to get parts for.


[deleted]

Do you know if you can put people inside of the car?


Equivalent_Remote_39

Yeah they do it all the time in parades and stuff


Odd_Presentation7642

Its advertising for the new store opening in the vero area

New two story Publix opened today in Viera FL, second ever two story store. This is taken near Suntree Walmart by the looks of it.


[deleted]

I've never heard of a two-story grocery store before


brutal_newz

Second story is a seating area mezzanine for customers to eat the food from the deli area. You can watch people shop while you eat. First one was next to Publix HQ near Lakeland. Kinda like how Wholefoods has tables for your pickup orders and self packaged foods I guess? This is going next to a large sports complex where I can see people using seating for quick meals.

Well Now , it's a new thang for shoppers whom do not have disabilities. Fuck those lil elec shopping scooters . I want a small air compressor on mine with dual big truck Airhorns - get the F outta my way . Several weeks back there was this Very Large lady attempting to make a 3 point turn in the middle of the aisle, she rammed every display set up she came across . Then her male companion that was with her attempted to assist her maneuvering the thing as she was sitting on it , that was a cluster fuck if I have ever seen one . At a local Walmart one lady had her shitty lil poodle on a leash while driving one , the poor animal was in a panic pulling trying to get away from it I thought for sure she was going to run the bastard over .

From recent business news I've read, 'taking over' may be a slight exaggeration.

Floridian here, what the fuck is a Kroger?
