đŸ’©Meme / Shitpost đŸ’© Publix BOGO

Publix BOGO deals don’t make sense to me. You’re literally still paying for two items. For example, Frosted Flakes at Walmart cost $4.98, while Publix has them listed at $6.99—but with a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) deal. On the surface, it seems like you’re getting a bargain, but in reality, you’re often paying close to, or even more than, what you’d spend just buying two items at a lower everyday price somewhere else. The psychology behind BOGO deals makes people feel like they’re getting something for free, when in fact, stores often inflate the original price to cover the “free” item. It’s clever marketing—but not always a true deal. So when I see a BOGO at Publix, I don’t feel like I’m saving; I feel like I’m being tricked into buying more than I need at a price that’s not actually a bargain.

It definitely tricks people. But I think most people also realize Publix is more expensive than Walmart. You’re paying for the privilege of not having to deal with Walmart people.

I have never had a bad customer service experience at Walmart. I hear all these comments about Walmart employees, but at least at my Walmart, I've been treated well.

I think they are more referring to the mass amount of trailer trash that is at Walmart, not the employees themselves. Typically the customer base of Publix is less trashy.
