Having read all the posts since this, I can tell you that the way one of the store employees found what aisle I needed was, she had a hand held device and typed in an item and the device would say what aisle it was in, and also would say when more was going to be delivered.

Hi Barbara, I can understand all the problems you must face in shopping. have you considered mail ordering dry goods from some place like Amazon.com? itwould cut down on the number of trips you'd have to make, if you had enoughroom to store the stuff, which must be bought in bulk I understand.

I have no intention of goingthere until the excitement and crowds have been reduced.Re Joe's note: Having a map of what's in an aisle is good, but only if theykeep it that way. I was in Walmart's this afternoon looking for an item which is always in the coffee aisle. After looking at every aisle, Ifinally discovered the coffee had been moved and was in an aisle that was at a right angle from the packaged food aisles. And my item wasn't there. So I looked and looked for someone who worked there and finally someone told mewhich aisle to look in. It was not one I would have thought of. And only one of the item was there, not the 4 I had hoped to get as it's more and more difficult for me to get around and I like to purchase multiples if possible. Oh well.The number of items available sounds pretty good, and especially the number of staff that's around to help you find something. For me, I need a go-cartand lately, both in Publix and Walmart there have not been any available, all being used or disabled. Hope things will get better. Thank you, Allison for the great review.

I'll try and write a program to resort the aisle data, so you can have it aisle by aisle.

This way it would be easier for us to memorize or put on something like the iphone or victor Stream or digital recorder to take with you to know where the stuff is. Just some thoughts. sign, Joe Plummer (JP) joeplummer@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Allison and Chip Orange Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2010 1:23 PM To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tabi] new Killearn Publix, part 1 Hi all, Allie is all excited about the new Publix, so she wanted to do a description for everyone on TABI: both the layout, and a review of various things. -------- Hello, TABI Peeps,I was at the Grand Opening of the new Publix, and as promised, they have a map and an aisle listing. So I thought I'd take a minute and give you theaisle listing and then work on a description of the map for you all in a separate email. (That will explain where aisles listed as "Pharmacy" or "Dairy" are located in the store.) Before I begin, a mini-review:If you love to cook, you'll love it--they have so much more than the otherstore, including every ingredient you can think of, both basic and gourmet, and everything you need to cook including cookware, small appliances and utensils. If you don't love to cook, you'll love it--they have a full pharmacy, separate sections for organic, wine and gourmet cheese, expanded bakery, salad bar, a hot bar with Chinese food and 4 soups-of-the-day, a vastly expanded section of hot deli foods and a sandwich bar. They also have scores of people to help you. Whenever we asked where an item was located, the Publix staff told us and then wanted to take us to the aisle.The only downside to the new store is that the aisles are fairly narrow, alittle wider than 2 carts across. And it was crowded for the Grand Opening, of course. (You would think people in Tallahassee had never seen a grocery store before!) If this is the Publix that is convenient for you, it will be so worth the effort to relearn the layout of the store, so without further ado, the aisle listing. ~Allie Item and Aisle Ammonia 10 Apple Sauce 3 Baby Needs Pharmacy Bar Soap Pharmacy Batteries 8 Beer-Cold 12 Bleaches 10 Bread 11 Brooms-Mops 10 Cake Mixes 6 Candles 10 Candy 7 Cereals 5 Charcoal 9 Cheese Dairy Cleaners 10 Cocoa 5 Coffee 5 Cookies-Crackers 2 Dairy Products Dairy Dietetic Foods 5 Disinfectants 10 Dog Food 8 Eggs Dairy Ethnic Foods 4 Extracts 6 Flour 6 Frozen Food 13-15 Fruits, Canned 3 Fruits, Dried 6 Gelatins 6 Grits 5 Honey 5 Insecticides 9 Jellies 5 Juices, Canned 2 Ketchup 6 Light Bulbs 8 Macaroni 3 Margarine Dairy Marshmallows 7 Matches 9 Mayonnaise 6 Meal 6 Meats, Canned 4 Medicine Pharmacy Milk, Canned 5 Moth Balls 10 Mushrooms, Canned 3 Mustard 6 Nuts, Canned 12 Oats 5 Oils 6 Olives 6 Paper Goods 9 Peanut Butter 5 Pet Foods 8 Pickles 6 Pie Crust 6 Popcorn 12 Potato Chips 12 Prunes 6 Raisins 6 Rice 3 Salad Dressing 6 Salt 6 Sauces, Meat 6 Seafood, Canned 4 Soap - Detergents 10 Soda, Baking 6 Soft Drinks 11 Soup 4 Spaghetti, Dried 3 Spices 6 Sugar 6 Syrup 5 Tea 5 Tissue 9 Tomato Paste 3 Toothpicks 9 Toys/Games 7 Vegetables, Canned 3 Vegetables, Fresh Produce Vinegar 6 Water 11 Waxes 10 Wines Left Wall Yeast 6 Check out the TABI resource web page at http://acorange.home.comcast.net/TABI and please make suggestions for new material. if you'd like to unsubscribe you can do so through the freelists.org web interface, or by sending an email to the address tabi-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject.
