"Publix can be a whirlwind of activity - especially around lunch hour or right after work - as customers swarm the aisles in search of their next reasonably-timed meal. If you're in a rush, avoid the deli counter - because there will be a wait - and you will not be alone. The deli counter is home to the beloved Pub Sub, as well as chicken prepared two ways - fried and oven-roasted, rotisserie style."
"They sell buffet-style hot items, too - like their dangerously delicious potato wedges - right next to southern favorites like collard greens and fried okra. For regulars, the crowded deli is just another mildly annoying thing about shopping at Publix - and there's almost always a line for subs. As one user posted on Reddit's /r/Publix, "Real talk, why does it take so long for a deli worker to make one sandwich?""
Publix deli counters become crowded during peak hours, creating long waits for sandwiches and hot buffet items. The deli offers Pub Subs, fried and oven-roasted rotisserie chicken, and sides like potato wedges, collard greens, and fried okra. The sub line can sell 300–400 subs per day, and custom orders slow down service. Publix makes sandwich bread from scratch. Customers can avoid long waits by purchasing deli meats, cheeses, condiments, and sliced items to assemble sandwiches at home or by ordering deli items ahead; leftovers and condiments can be reused for charcuterie, pizza toppings, and other dishes.
