Publix made as much money as Nike in 2018.

The bread at Publix has a substantial chew, unlike whatever it is they call bread at Subway. You know, the stuff with that weird chemical odor that smells like a nursing home and probably contains the same sludge Jack Nicholson fell into that turned him into Joker in ‘Batman.’
You can see the good people at Publix spread the mayonnaise along the inside of the bread, coast to coast, the way god intended; unlike Subway, whose awkwardly-designed squeeze bottles are guaranteed to produce a bead of caulk-like mayo accompanied by that disgusting bottle fart sound.
Boars Head Turkey is my go-to and is always solid; though getting their Cuban, taking it home and buttering/pressing it yourself is a strong move too. I also like how Publix’s deli staff anticipate using every bit of their mise en place on each person’s sandwich. Then, when you only want banana peppers or pickles, they’re genuinely astonished or seem like they’re somehow derelict for not loading your sandwich up with a ’80s salad bar.”
