I was on line awaiting next delivery helper she finally asked what I wanted customer wasnt finished. Other deli helper was available but didnt acknowledge me then I get told to get back on line.

      I purchase some baby formula out of Publix not knowing it had expired. I brought to customer service attention that the baby formula I had purchased within had expired and made my 2 weeks old baby sick customer service did a great job handling the situation they pull the baby formula right off the shelf that was still on the shelves because they all had expired and gave me a refund and apologized for making my baby sick. They reported it to the corporate office and the corporate office did reach out to me the corporate office tried to put it on the supplier telling me to reach out to the supplier and complain to them. I keep telling Publix the corporate office it has nothing to do with the supplier I purchased the expired baby formula out of Publix what do the suppliers has to do with your store selling expired baby formula. The corporate office was very rude making seems like Im the bad guy for purchasing the expired formula. Publix made me feel less than a person by not taking my complaint seriously in some many words they was basically telling me they dont care that the baby formula I brought made my 2 weeks old baby sick.

      We received the above review from the BBB on 6/9/2025. We apologize for any inconvenience Ms. ****** experienced in our store. Ms. ****** contacted Publix previously for resolution to her concern. We forwarded her additional comments to our ************************** who replied with:

      We have made attempts to reach Ms. ****** to discuss this matter further; however, we have not yet received a response from her. Our investigation found that at the time of purchase, the baby food was not expired, but the expiration date followed sometime after purchase. In an effort to make up for the negative experience, a complete refund and apology was provided to Ms. ****** at the store. Thank you for the opportunity to address Ms. ******* concerns.

      If Ms. ****** has any further concerns, questions, or other feedback, we hope she will reach out to her store management or Publix directly to allow us the opportunity to resolve the issues quickly. We also hope that Ms. ****** will accept this resolution and continue to allow Publix to serve her family's grocery needs.

      This comment is directed to the Publix supermarket corporate office. The company offers catering for parties and events for its customers. They take special order that include the order date and time to pick up. I paid for it 48 hrs. in advanced and the order was not ready at the time of events. The store No. 488, located en ******, **, offer to the consumers a terrible experience, lack of transparency, honesty and poor work from employees and supervisors.

      I had to send a foodstuff to the quality control division due to it being expired, not pulled off the shelves at my local Publix and ingesting it making me sick. I had not seen that it was expired and left on the shelf to sell. I dealt with ******* in that department and she lacks customer service skills, is rude and robotic. I was told by the manager that Publix would identify the issue that made me sick. ******* told me that was not true and the manager lied. She told me I will have to go to Publix again to pick up bar from the local store after headquarters sends it back to the local store. I asked for it to be sent to me as it is inconvenient for me to have to go again for their mistake in the first place. She became sarcastic, condescending and disconnected our call on purpose. ******* is NOT an asset to Publix and needs to go. Poor form Publix to hire a lowest common denominator like ********

      I hate Publix! Their 1990s technology won't allow my health insurance card for payment. Instead, you have to use the insurance app - but if the store's wifi doesn't work or you forgot your phone, you're screwed. Note; ******* and ********* have the technology that allows a physical card for payment.

      Re: BBB Review #******; *** *******. We received the above review from the BBB on 5/2/2025. We apologize for any inconvenience Mr. ******* experienced in our store. Mr. ******* previously contacted Publix for a resolution to his concerns before contacting the BBB.We understand Mr. ********* frustration with the change in how UnitedHealthcare Soultran (S3) cards are processed at Publix. Solutran (S3) cards are processed by scanning the barcodes on the cards. Beginning January 2025, **************** opted to change its existing Soultran (S3) cards from a barcode to a magnetic strip. Currently, Publix PIN pads cannot process the new UnitedHealthcare physical cards and can only process Soultran (S3) cards using barcodes. Due to this change by ****************, once a customer receives the new card with the magnetic strip, they must present their UnitedHealthcare UCard Soultran (S3) barcode via the UnitedHealthcare app when shopping at Publix. The app is free to **************** customers, per ****************. Customers with a Soultran (S3) card with a barcode can continue using the physical card in the store.The transition to using the UnitedHealthcare app for scanning barcodes is a temporary solution while we update our systems to accept the new magnetic strip cards from UnitedHealthcare. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. Please know that we are actively working on implementing the necessary updates to accept the magnetic strips, which should provide a more seamless experience in the future. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition.If Mr. ******* has any further concerns, questions, or other feedback, we hope he will contact his store management directly to allow them to resolve the issues quickly. We also hope that Mr. ******* will accept this resolution and continue to allow Publix to serve his family's grocery needs.

      Awful rude customer service actually there is none. Managers do not do their job. Prices go up daily literally and yet I have to do my own check out. **** never has service. You waste at least 30 mi minutes and then don't even get me started on the hot case. Always empty st lunchtime. They do not check when empty or replenish- they tell you to wait and they'll cook. Publix is not a pleasure at all. I will file complaint bc I have spoken to deli manager. Store manager- they really don't care.

      Yes I spoke to corporate- unfortunately as of yesterday, nothing in that store has changed. I drove to ********* to shop and got everything I needed with a smile and courteous service. I did leave a voice-mail on ***** ********* phone after another day of empty shelves at the hot case. Over it for real. They really need to revamp their deli department and learn the business of food "service". My time is just as precious as everyone else.

After reviewing CCTV footage, we saw she was at the Deli and served in approximately 4 minutes. It was also observed that she had taken a container of popcorn chicken and returned for a second. The Store Manager gave his contact information to her and explained to Mrs. ******* not to hesitate to contact him if he is not in the store and she has any further concerns.This has been addressed, and Mrs. ******* stated that she no longer needed to speak with me.Respectfully,***** ******* District Manager Miami Division *************** has any further concerns, questions, or other feedback, we hope she will reach out to her store management or Publix directly to allow us the opportunity to resolve the issues quickly.

      My complaint is Publix went from having the best cannolis to having the worst cannolis, they dont even taste like cannolis theyre gross! I had bought two packages, one, The filling was so runny it was running out of the shell, the second package. It was more like eating a pudding like you would find in an eclair, definitely not regatta cheese filling. The shell is tasteless and the cheese filling inside is horrible.I noticed on one of your responses you said that the customer did not call **********************, well I in fact, did call Publix customer service. They seem to care less and told me there was nothing they could do and I needed to go back to the store and complain to them. I am quite aware the store does not have any say in what the product is that they are receiving. I purchased these at least 3 packs a week for over a year so I know what theyre supposed to taste like and asked If she could just send me a gift card? She said no, so I have to inconvenience myself and drive all the way back up there,which I could not do at that time.They never used to be like this customers used to come first, but not anymore. I always thought they were the best store around,no longer the best in my book.

      I moved to a rural city in *******, only 1 Publix locally. On November 25th, 2024 I purchased a bunch of Broccoli Wrapped on sale for $2.99 regularly $3.99. I decided to cook/boil my Broccoli 2 days after purchase on November 27th. I only cooked a small portion for me and the rest I put away in the fridge back in it's plastic wrap.I served the cooked portion over freshly made rice, after i swallowed two bites I tasted something raw like sand or crystal which made me choked and started vomiting blood, I got nervous and took my meal & the wrapped portion in the fridge back to Publix where purchased. I asked for the manager and I was asked to leave the meal and wrapped pieces which they opened up and saw there was 2-3 flies in the Broccoli florets which I didn't see. I was told they will call me with info on what was actually in the broccoli and would be compensated. I have lost more than 12 lbs and my stomach has been upset since this. I contacted their main office and all I got was their voice mail and no call back at all !!!! I'm a senior and demand an answer , this is ridiculous after being their loyal customer for years!!!!! I have pictures which I took 3-4 weeks after from their produce section full of flies and dirty which you can tell it's been uncleaned for weeks!!!! Shame on you Publix.....Where shopping is not a pleasure anymore .****

      Living in. Florida we all know it's so hot to leave your pets in the car. With that being said. I had to run in for 3 things. Brought my moms dog with me had a dog bed, where to dog was NOT stepping on the cart. Not only was I approached by 1 manager, but 2 managers telling me, I couldn't have the dog with me unless he was a service dog. I expresses, that it was my mother's dog, it was service/emotional support dog. I did not have the papers on me, because my mom was in the hospital. Manager's were not compassion it, to my/our unfortunately circumstances but insisted I leave the store and yet 1 manager, followed me all the way to the register and made sure I was existing the store and then said out loud, now we have to make sure the cart is cleaned and sanitized. By the way, I cleaned the cart before using it, with clorox wipes. I understand, they want to prevent any sharing of germs of any kind, but there are humans that are so unsanitary, etc. My experience overall, I felt unheard, disrespected by not understanding my recent circumstances and was dismissed felt as if I had commitment a crime. This happened on sun 12.29.2024 at 3:30pm.I, won't ever shop here again. Resident of near by community.
