Publix? Removed gun magazines ?

[GeauxLSU]

My sister in law came for a visit and thought it was pronounced "Pube-licks".
Who was I to correct her?
Anyway, besides the very occasional key-lime pie, I'm already boycotting their high prices. So, double boycott now in effect!

Acworth has them still on the shelf.

I shop day to day at Kroger due to prices and the fuel points, but for steaks and seafood I go to Publix it is just better quality. Glad to see many of them still have them on the shelves.

I didn't know quilting was considered as a sport.

Don't know about high prices, I always buy items on bogo sale. And local Publix still has gun mags, just not as big a selection. Slow/no sellers?

My local Publix removed all of their gun magazines? Is that a political statement or is it a weird coincidence?

Emailed them and this was their response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We regret that we have failed to meet your expectations. We would never knowingly disappoint our customers and we appreciate the trust you have placed in us to address your concern.

We apologize for any upsetting feelings you experienced from seeing this publication. It is our mission to do our very best to satisfy all Publix customers, but unfortunately in today’s complex world this is not always an easy task. Occasionally, we receive customer concerns regarding certain materials that contain objectionable print or photographs. As a result, our stores have "blinders" available which can be used to conceal the objectionable cover. An item may be removed from the shelf, but that decision is left up to the discretion of the store manager and the reaction of the customers at that store.

As you know, Publix is a family-owned company that cares about its customers and it is important for us to create a pleasant shopping environment. Your comments, along with those from other customers, will be shared with the appropriate department.

Keep in mind I simply asked if they are removing all gun related magazines and they assumed they offended me

Maybe just a snowflake manager or two at a couple of locations?

The staff at our Kroger is awesome. I guess everything really is "local".

Maybe just a snowflake manager or two at a couple of locations?

Or snowflake customers who were traumatized by seeing pictures of guns and complained.
