‘The last straw’: the US families ending love affair with grocery chain after Capitol riot

Wendy Mize’s family grew up on Publix, disciples to the giant supermarket chain’s empirical marketing slogan: “Where shopping is a pleasure”. As infants, her three daughters wore diapers bought from the Publix baby club. As children, they munched on free cookies from the bakery. There were even perks for the family’s pets, who are proud members of Publix Paws.
But now the decades-long love affair is over. After a member of Publix’s founding family donated $300,000 to the Donald Trump rally that preceded January’s deadly Capitol riots, Mize is pulling out of what she says has become “an abusive, dysfunctional relationship”, and joining others in a boycott of the Florida-based grocery chain that operates more than 1,200 stores across seven south-eastern states.

I can't imagine ever describing a grocery store I have shopped at in this way.

If only more of her kind would leave, this could actually be a reality for the rest of us.

I hope the person from Publix does not apologize for donating money to Trump.

soys and poors probably not shopping at Publix anyway. Amazingly normal people were still shopping with no issue yesterday.

Great store. I wish they were in Louisiana.

Well Publix and rouses are much better off now. Who wants to do business with parasites?
Posted on 2/15/21 at 9:35 am to Byrdybyrd05
Annnd their sales will go up like every other time a liberal boycott was called.

A thinly-veiled hit piece against a grocery store that supported a president who was pro-business, journalism is dead.
