One of the reasons I like Publix is that it is a very clean store. I think a store that is clean in the areas I can see has a better chance of being clean in the areas I can't see and vice versa. Publix carries items I cannot find anywhere else (such as Bon Ami); and if they don't carry an item I'm looking for, they are very good about special ordering it. Although I find most of Publix's prices high, I can still find some good sale prices. I think their deli meats are the freshest of all our local grocery stores. Their service personnel are very nice and extremely helpful.
