You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Yep. And it's not just a mission statement. They live it. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | No free coffee in my local Publix. I frequently get a guy to follow my cart out to my car, unload it and bring it back who is dealing with a head injury. I try to eat there (free samples from an instore chef). Their pastry is a bit too much for my wallet and a good bit too much for my waistline. Their produce is indeed fresh and a bit more exotic than most other stores. It is a pleasant experience and a more 'upscale' place with upscale shoppers. Its just twice the distance and so I often have to go to the closer store. |

Obv I haven't been to your store, but are you sure? Sometimes it's by the deli or the customer service counters. Might be worth asking them. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I don't think I have free coffee at my Publix but Kids always get something sweet from the bakery for free When buying deli meats, always get a free sample Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

There is a chain of stores here that sound like Publix. Stores are different depending on the neighborhood. I have free coffee in mine, but some stores don't. We have lots of free samples in mine, many stores do not. The parking lot of mine is solidly SUV's, Navigators, Escalades, Hummers, Lexus. Most of the other stores are not. A couple years ago the deli had a pan of free pizza slices. A mom of color with two boys in their early teens came in (a rarity), spotted the pizza and stood there eating till it was gone. The mom asked when another pan was coming out and the girl said 'tomorrow'. By then the boys had discovered the chip and dip tray and were emptying it. That's the reason only some stores have samples and coffee. That's an absolutely true story. Am I racist for telling it to give the reason some stores have more perks than others? Do I care?

I believe it. Same reason fast food places in the hood often do not have self-serve pop refills. One a few miles from my mother's house, a Burger King, sits right on the edge of an old apartment complex that now mostly Section 8. OK neighborhood other than that. I was eating there once and couple old guys were talking about how they had to pull the fountains. People were bringing in their own containers and filling them. Then they wonder why nobody wants them around their business. The President is a fink. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | What? They were out for brunch. Hard to keep enough food in front of a teen. They don't have samples here, except for at the Dr's office. I was surprised when I went to Whole Foods in Phoenix. Seemed like an upper clientele. Great place to babe watch. Some of those nicely dressed women only eat one piece of lettuce per meal. Spandex can be pretty if worn in the right place. hehe The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

We used to eat at Old Country Buffet 4 times a week because my wife closed her business at 7pm. Sometimes kids of color would waste a lot of food. Get a heaping plate full, have a few bites of this or that, shove it aside and get another heaping plate. The manager would say it's 'all you care to eat, not all you care to waste'. If they continued he would give them a refund and ban them forever. Man, the screaming that took place. "We done paid for this, we got our rights!" He would tell them no, you paid for what you can eat, not how high you can fill the garbage can with what you didn't eat. It was a restaurant with a floor show.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Its a "get back at the man" thing. Who hasn't seen it? The difference is some people keep excusing it. The President is a fink. |
