Winn-Dixie — Attraction in North Miami Beach

I've been a customer here for a long time. Today I stopped by, to buy some things, and I was surprised not to see my favorite cashier, her name is Gislaine. She's such a caring, kind, and loving person that all the customers love. Someone told me she'd been fired. I was shocked to hear this. What a terrible, unforgivable thing this person could have done? Someone, who work for so many years offered everyone a smile, a hug, and was always willing to help. This is the only alternative? I can think this is personal, or could be something else that I don’t want to mention. It seems the person who fired her is new to the place and doesn't know how special she is to us, the clients who shop there week after week. That person who fired her should read all the comments customers make about Gislaine and their opinions of her. What bothers me is that someone who thinks that is very powerful because is the manager, abuse others, and think they are untouchable, but that is wrong. Everyone work because we need money to pay our bills, she need this job and I don’t think is fair what they did to her. Gislaine is a hard worker, is a good person. Everyone know her. I was shocked when I went to TJ Max one day and mentioned how nice this Winn-Dixie cashier was, and they told me they knew who I was talking about. As a Winn-Dixie customers we hope this misunderstanding can be resolved soon, and we'll be able to see our favorite cashier back at work, offering us, as always, a kind word or a smile. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful person like her. We love you Gislaine, I hope to...

Price Gouging: Same items at other markets are 2x or 3x less. I could not believe how inflated prices are on "healthy" or "premium" goods. Especially anything organic, I've seen the same organic products sold so much cheaper at other markets.

Quality Control: Make sure you check expiration dates/ingredients/condition before purchasing. I've purchased products with mildew/mold, or products with short timeline expiration dates, or expired products.

Winn-Dixie Supports Vendors with False Advertising: I was astonished, from the overpriced vitamins & supplements with food coloring/corn syrup to over 50% of shelved products leading consumers to think they are purchasing something good for them, when it actually contains poison for the body and costs more than other markets.

Building/Facility Condition: Confused how such a poor looking, outdated, unchanged for years market is in such a great area. Most carts are broken, there's a smell of old throughout the market, you walk into any other big brand market and will notice how they improve and take care of their facility over time.

T.J. Maxx next door shouldn't be winning when it comes to finding healthy fair priced packaged foods in comparison to this "market" who's been there for years; Winn-Dixie's objective is clearly to be as cheap as possible and has no value in its consumers or improvement.

Really hope locals start to save money and improve their health by shopping at other markets to make way for a replacement which deserves to be in this neighborhood.

Thanks for...

Gislaine, is a superb Costumer Service skilled Cashier and Assistant that outstands with another young men ACM Lane 74 who was in today. I'm a Costumer Service Expert who highly appreciate assistance. My son with Special Needs of Trauma and also Autism feels very Happy to see Gislaine because she is kind and compassionate. Always goes out of her way to help Costumers from Self Check out to helping colleagues asking for her to help out. Weekly I check her Schedule to be able to see her when we go shopping to Winn Dixie. Today, I learned Gislaine not longer will work at Winn Dixie. Having less hours to no hours is a big gap. Aware of how much Gislaine enjoys her work, there seems something went wrong.

My discomfort feels related to a very malicious new Costumer Service Manager presence, named Fanny. She been the worst experience on her first days harassing my son and me and repeating with careless attitude; Causing my call to Corporate. Last Saturday, my son and I visit the store and Gislaine was there. She greeted us as she often greets all Costumers, happy and motivated. My son loves her. Fanny was standing on the floor near by. When I approach Gislaine to say Hi! felt I should show less affection because of the malicious personality of Fanny may retaliate.

I will follow up on this transition to make sure this good person Gislaine, is safe emotionally and...
