Publix: Where Shopping Really Is A Pleasure

Walking to Publix

Showing Hayden Publix. I’m such a proud dad.

I keep Hayden on a pretty regular schedule. We always go to the park and grocery store every day. It’s that little piece of Paris life that I can’t let go of. I just enjoy going to the “market,” ok it’s only a grocery store I know. But it is my happy place. Aside from the Paris markets and street vendors, and I’ve said this everywhere, Publix is the greatest grocery store EVER.

Publix will always have a special place in my heart. It was my first job. Yep I was a bag boy, then cashier. I was a member of their credit union, where I financed my very first car at the age of 18. It was the place where I felt very comfortable being a gay teen in the south. I dated a guy that worked for Publix, and we moved in together. That was my very first apartment at the age of 17, yes the apartment came before the car. But I digress…

Publix is a great company. It has clean stores, great products, super friendly employees, and a sense of welcoming. Moving back to Florida meant I could share that with Hayden. We go to the grocery store every day, sometimes three times a day. Going to Publix is like going to Disney World for me. And now it is for Hayden too.

Although it might just have to do with these Race Car carts…
