Rave:
Dear Publix, like your motto, shopping with you truly is a pleasure! The general atmosphere and experience of shopping at Publix is always super awesome. The stores are always clean, the produce is always fresh, the employees are always very friendly and helpful. They actually seem to like their job, and when you like your job, it is reflected in your attitude. They also help you carry your groceries to your car without you having to ask. No tips, please.
I know what you're thinking, Publix is the expensive supermarket. Well, I have come to the conclusion that the expensive supermarket is nothing but a rumor. No, they don't have an "Most Valued Shopper Ever" card, BUT they accept competitors coupons, and have amazing BOGO sales all of the time.
All of those things I already knew and loved about Publix, but in an effort to find even greater deals, I logged on to their website and checked out their circular for the week. Get this, you can click on items in the circular that you want to buy and it will create a shopping list for you. Not only will it make the list, it organizes it by what section of the supermarket it is in! This may not throw you into a state of giddiness like it did me, but I am the person who already writes down my shopping list by what section each item is in. Love it!! So all of these things combined just makes me happy to go grocery shopping. I love grocery shopping when I go to a store that puts as much effort into it's business as Publix does.

Dear Pedestrians, I would like to introduce you to the crosswalk. The crosswalk was designed so that you can safely navigate the city on foot, without having the misfortune of being hit by a large moving vehicle. They have distinct lines for you to walk between and even (gasp) a Light system that tells you when to go, when to hurry up, and when not to walk because you will, in fact, be hit.
What is UP with people not using the crosswalk??? I understand if it's not a busy street, you just need to pop across and the next crosswalk is 3 blocks away. But c'mon people. If I am driving down Elmwood, a SIX lane road, I really would prefer that you not weave in and out of cars, or make me brake for you to casually stroll through traffic when you could have waited just another second for the light to change. Also, do NOT get offended when I hit the automatic lock on my car doors when you are walking beside my car at a stop light. The cross walk is 6 feet away, and by ignoring that fact and still walking through stopped cars at a light, you're being creepy. Think about it.
