Some grocery stores have cult-like followings, and Publix is one of them.
The Florida-based supermarket chain is known for its consistent store layouts, its BOGO sales and, of course, its beloved chicken tender “Pub Subs.”
We’ve rounded up 40 tweets for those who love to hate and hate to love Publix. Enjoy!
Telling me you dislike a Publix chicken tender sub is basically you announcing that you aren’t to be trusted.

If your Friday night didn't involve a trip to Publix and someone falling asleep on the couch early, are you even in your 30's?

Hell is the Publix parking lot in Riverside, Jacksonville, Fl. How anyone survives it is proof of the existence of God.

In the summer of ‘85 my bff and I made a pact that no matter where we were or what we were doing, if “Rock the Casbah” is playing you are required to dance.
— Lady Lawya (@Parkerlawyer) June 2, 2018
So I would like to apologize to these strangers here at Publix.
But a pact is a pact.
I know my Publix like the back of my hand. I make my list based on the aisles. Showed up today and they redid the whole store.

Me: That's an awfully personal thing to do in a pub.
Wife: ...

I used to work at Publix when I was 16 and I loved nothing more than to blow my $5.75/hr paycheck on Publix bakery cheesecake as soon as I got paid lol

Cant wait to go home to Florida so I can eat a Publix chicken tender sub and make out with an alligator.

Publix doesn’t get enough credit for letting their absolute horniest intern name their ice creams. pic.twitter.com/CrJSAMlIsp

No crying in public. But you can cry in Publix, the grocery store, that's fine.

If you like Walking Dead, you’re going to love the Publix near my house right now.

Guy in front of me in Publix bought a 12-pack of Corona and a box of Fruity Pebbles. I kinda want to go to that party.

“Let me guess, whole chicken tender sub?”
Son of a bitch
I went to Whole Foods because I’ve been to the same Publix three times in three days and it was feeling weird. But then Whole Foods didn’t have what I needed so I went back to the Publix and hid my face. Catch it next week on Law and Order: Boring Unit.
— Stephanie Hayes (@stephhayes) March 6, 2019

You could almost miss living in Florida when you visit for a few days. Something so enchanting about Spanish moss. And Publix subs 🤣
