Publix earns an F- for passover!!!

[looneycat]

They set up a little display of passover foods (pitiful collection) and didn't bother to even order Matzoh the unleavened bread that is central to the holiday, they had a couple of old boxes in the ethnic aisle...so publix, you can kiss my posterior you just lost my business.

[graciegirl]

boy howdy

They ran out of Easter grass too. There are a lot of folks here visiting.

I didn't say ran out, they NEVER GOT IT IN!

running out of it I could understand, they didn't even give it any thought, so I won't give any thought to shopping there. I don't believe cellophane grass is central to the Easter holiday while unleavened bread is central to passover.

It is extremely easy to make your own matzoh and it tastes so much better when it is fresh rather than out of a box.

The Fresh Market also had an excellent supply of Passover foods.

yes that is true, I have made my own in the past but was cooking quite a bit for the holiday and that just wasn't an option this time. Yes the other grocers here didn't make the same 'mistake'.

[Trish Crocker]

looney, that must have been very frustrating and I'm glad you were able to find it at the other stores. This year, some very good friends invited us to Seder and it was very enjoyable and interesting. It was the first time we had ever celebrated the Passover and as a Christian it brought to life the things I learned while studying the Old Testament. When we talk with our friends, we talk about the things we have in common and we respect each other's beliefs even though he refuses to call my 'Hanukkah' bush a Christmas tree :)

[nitehawk]

I for one love Publix -- if they stopped selling Christmas thing I would still shop there - thats the difference between you and me -- no food for Ramadan either (fasting) :smiley: no food for Yom Kupper either :smiley:

[janmcn]

I do not work for Publix, but I would think they base their stocking of shelves on the demographics of the area. There is probably a much larger selection of Passover items in other parts of Florida. And they probably look at what sold in past years. Perhaps communicating your unhappiness to Publix HQ would help solve this problem in the future.

[cappyjon431]

The Publix on Bella Vista and 441 had plenty of matzo a week before the holiday started, with a display of Manischewitz, Streits, and another brand from Israel (don't remember the brand). They also had gefilte fish, horseradish, and Manischewitz matzo ball soup mix displayed.

The selection was not as great as I was accustomed to in south Florida, but a whole lot better than what we had on our little island in Panama (before moving to TV), where we had to have matzo flown in from a Chabad house in Panama City. After living for several years on a remote island in a predominately Catholic country, it seemed like I had plenty of matzo available for my needs here.

[Pturner]

Hi Loonycat,
If the store had a Passover section, it seems odd that there was never any Matzah in this section. Which Publix location was it? Also, how do you know for certain that they did not run out? Did you ask the store manager? If so, what response did you get?

Janmcm makes a very good point about stores needing to stock based on anticipated demand; also that the store cannot correct a problem if it is not brought to their attention.

I am sorry that the experience put a damper on your holiday and hope it was otherwise a blessing.

[Uptown Girl]

The Publix at Colony Plaza had a large central island adjacent to the floral dept. that was abundantly stocked and dedicated to Passover foods for two weeks prior to Passover. (at least each time I visited.)
This was in addition to the dedicated aisle the store always has for various ethnic foods.
We visited Publix again last Saturday, and the central display was still there, but as expected, pretty much emptied by then. They still had some Matzoh, though.

:agree:
I would also speak with the local manger.

[Villageshooter]

They had plenty of corn beef left over on march18th , sounds to me like the ordering dept. dropped the ball. U can bet it won't happen next year!

its a grocery store and very good one. ...end of story....

[ilovetv]

Isn't it the spirit of the observance that matters more than who stocks/sells the meal ingredients?

Maybe focusing on our freedom to worship and shop freely for all the food we need would put the complaints into perspective.

Don't be rediculous. I have bought all of my Passover foods at Publix for the past ten years. Check my cupboard. I have 10 boxes of manischewitz and Matzoh and two jars of Pike and Whitefish as we speak. If you don't shop early you will surely be disappointed. How much do you want them to carry for and ethnic group that numbers less than 1% of the local population. I own no Publix stock but sure do wish you a happy Pesach!

I agree. I don't care about such things. In the town where I lived for many years there was a wonderful toy store that never decorated for Christmas or Easter or anything else, but everyone bought their children's toys there (and not because it was the only toy store, it wasn't. But it was the best.)
I Love Publix:mmmm:

[missypie]

Several years ago I went to Nordstrom on the first day of one of their famous Half Year sales. I hit the shoe dept. last and asked the salesman for the shoes that I wanted. He told me sorry they were out of them. I said oh bummer but this is the first day! "well, early bird gets the worm".

That has been in my head all these years but I still Love Nordstrom.

I like Publix, wouldn't change my shopping habits because of an issue like this, but to each their own.

sorry you assume I'm being ridiculous and shopped late, stop being condescending! I like fresh food and shop almost daily, so no I missed nothing!!!
YOU obviously didn't get any of those things in the Colony Publix which didn't have any matzoh on display for passover. You could continue to call me a liar if you wish, but that is and was the situation, and no I certainly do not wish to check your cupboard.

Oh and by the way..they didn't have one box of manischewitz and still don't.

If you want an opinion from me, the only opinion I gave or will give though is that with a 0 percentage, I'm presuming that they have no statistics to record or that there wasn't enough population to register a percentage... concluding IMHO that it's unlikely that there is anything near a 1% population, but I'm definitely not presuming that there's no Jewish population in TV.

[graciegirl]

If your wish would be to bring a good feeling to people about your faith or your customs or your ethnic background you could try to talk and act in a little more diplomatic way when matters such as this happen.

The Colony Plaza Publix I am told have broken all records of sales and are the busiest of all Publix stores and take in a million dollars a week. (I have been told this by people who I know well and who were not drinking) The growth in that area is absolutely phenomenal. The Villages of St.James, Tamarind Grove, Bonifay, Charlotte and Fernandina weren't there last Easter or Passover. I bet they will be stocked nicely next holiday season.

That is my opinion.

When we go shopping if we can't find something we want at that store we will visit one of the other 8 or 9 grocery stores in the immediate area. Every store can not carry every item for every person. I really hope that your celebration was not ruined by this particular store but know that you have many other options available to you.

Was in the Publix in the Colony Plaza yesterday. In the front of the store near the bakery there were several shopping carts filled with reduced price Easter and Passover items which included several boxes of Matzoh.

they have good statistics on religion but not (according to another thread) on how many full time and part time residents there are? and this is not even a villages source? nobody ever asked me my religion or ethnicity in the villages or the state of florida so I am at the least 1 unrecorded statistic just as there are probably thousands of others here that are 'unrecorded'.

Good points. Expressing disappointment is one thing. Suggesting Publix "kiss my posterior" seems over the top. It's not like Publix has some kind of 'War on Judaism'.

Do you really think all of the Jewish people who used to go the Grossingers,Tamarack Lodge, The Granite, Kutchers, all went to AC - I doubt that - IMO the lack of a tax base - when every other piece of property is a camp or religious structure and tax exempt and the ones left that are not tax exempt are the people that are working for the hotels etc with little in pay - leaving nobody to pay the taxes
Result is a getto of abandoned buildings - no jobs - no nothing- This is my personal opinion - but you could probably buy Passover food Seder

I find all of those percentages a little odd...I wonder what their data base was taken from. However, if the TV population is 80,000, 1% would be 800. I find it highly unlikely that there are not more then 800 Jewish folks in TV. I just took a quick look in the phone book and based on names that are traditionally Jewish..ie: Goldman,Goldstein, Kaufman, Stein etc. there are way more then 800 (I extrapolated).

As to the issue of Publix...I got my Passover stuff there a couple of weeks ago. They had matza, gefilte fish, matza meal. They everything I typically buy for Passover.

[looneycat]

and we dont even care!!!

thats quite alright since I don't value your opinion whatsoever!

[Villages PL]

What are the ingredients of Matzoh? Is it made with 100% whole grain? I would assume it is if it's a tradition that goes back a couple thousand years.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Ezekiel bread that's made with a variety of sprouts.
It's very healthy because it's not made with flour. :mmmm:

In this case I think that your probably right in that they are considerable off!

BTW, have you ever had the matza soup at TooJays and if so what do you think of it? I had it about a week ago and thought it was pretty good, but I have nothing in my past to compare it to or it was so long ago I don't remember!

[aljetmet]

For me Toojay's Matzah ball soup is just OK.

Now my Aunt Violet (of Hungarian descent) made a very nice soup and she would fill the matzah ball with meat. Excellent! :mmmm:

This reminds me of the time my dad put spoon to ball (at my Aunt's house) and it went flying out of his soup plate! (there was a failure as the matzah balls were as hard well as baseballs) I was just a kid but you would have thought WWIII broke out after the subsequent comments.

Brings back fond memories.:smiley:

I was able to get all my passover stuff at Publix--gefilte fish, matzo meal, matzo, horseradish, etc., but I am glad that I only have another couple of days of eating matzo.

Publix ran out of babka (Easter) bread...not their fault, it was mine. Saw it earlier in the week and didn't buy it. Baked it myself and it was sooooo good!

I did find the collard greens (in Publix) --- and they were in the rear of the store - still cant fine ham hocks in publix - but i will continue to shop there
And for certain people who started this thread - i really dont care where you shop either thank you

Just a little humor amongst all the grumpy complainers. Life is good! Enjoy it!

Ham hocks are next to the bacon.

At the Mulberry Publix the ham hocks are just past the fish section - with the rest of the ham products. And if you don't want the whole package ask the butcher to break the package up and get only one or two.

And I agree. He can boycott Publix all he wants. That means one more person I don't have to stand in line behind.

noooo you seem to care quite a bit since you insist on continuing to bring it up....have fun with that, as to where ....it is usually Publix because despite the original post I am after all not going out of my way, I'll just keep in mind that as far as the management of the colony publix is concerned, christian holidays will be stocked and others....not so much. If you decide again to tell me how much you care you can respond again <kiss, kiss>

Passover has passed over. Time to kill this stupid thread.

Beginning to agree with the last two posters. We're well past Passover and this topic has been thoroughly hashed.

Thread will be closed.

If you have other topics or issues related to Publix or various holidays, you can start a new thread.
