I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded 
I’m in love with our shiny new neighborhood Publix. Not only am I always asked, with heartfelt sincerity, if I need help out with my groceries, but all the employees are friendly, unlike Kroger where everyone seems to be about 10 minutes overdue for their smoke break.
Yesterday when I was checking out and secretly praying that Amelia would stay in the cart for just 30 more seconds, the clerk asked to see my ID for the six pack of Blue Moon beer I was buying. He looked at my birth date on the front of my driver’s license and said, “Well, I would never guess that. I really thought you were under 30.” (I’ll be 38 in August.)
And thus, my unabashed love for Publix was sealed. Forever.
I absolutely adore being carded. It is definitely an ego boost…oh and I love Blue Moon too. Good taste!
I would shop there forever if they carded me! lol
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
God. We have Fred Meyer here (owned by Kroger), and the service is atrocious. Every Safeway in a 20-mile radius kicks their ass.
Happy Mother’s Day!
I can’t wait until I get carded again. Seriously. Total ego boost there, eh?
Isn’t that the best? Thought I can’t remember the last time that happened to me. But I can relish in the memories! Happy Mother’s day!
Happy Mothers Day
!
excellent compliment isn’t it? Happy “you look so young” Day
God Bless them! I’ve never been but they are on my list now.
WOO!
You cannot beat that! I haven’t been carded in years. sniff
NICE! Happy mother’s day, indeed!
My mother was carded until about 43 years old. It was hilarious and it didn’t bother her, she just is very young looking. She would get student discounts and everything. I’m like hey now :
I was last carded just before I turned 40. A lifetime ago. Sigh.
No Publix here, though we frequented one in Florida over spring break. To be honest, it was fine, but I prefer my local Kroger!
You Hot Mama
!
Blue Moon Beer is it good? My hot neighbor is always drinking it. Maybe I will stop and get some.
Oh that’s the bomb! I LOVE it when people think I’m younger than I am. For the first time in my life I understand why there’s a phrase 30 something. LOL
Hugs,

We don’t have a store like that in Colorado. I keep wondering how it is pronounced…because when I say it…it’s sounds rather…um…hairy. Maybe it’s more like Publics???
Richie Ann—yes, it’s Publics. Not Pubics, though my in-laws made that same mistake.
Blue Moon is yummy.
You are a hot mama. I speak with real live viewing experience.
I went to Publix today. Know what else they have? Lots of samples around at dinner time, with which I can feed my hunger just-picked-up-from-preschool daughter so that she does not become a beastie.
Ha!~..sounds like a great place!
I am so in touch with that. I always want to hump people when they think I’m younger. ;^)
[...] still heart Publix, though. You’ve got to love the marketing minds behind this attempt to make Aunt Flo a [...]
Be careful whenever consuming too much beer since it can end up in alcohol addiction. Ofcourse if you are an enjoyer of life just like i am then you may not care!
