Re: PublixDirect is no more

You guys make a great point that I missed, I wanted to order some damn groceries online too. Been looking forward to it for a long time, and now will have to wait longer, dammit.

I dont understand closing something making money either. Just to clarify though, the coprorate office, aka where I worked, was not part of the numbers that made the distribution center "profitable", it was "4 wall profitable" meaning it paid for itself and made money above that. We would have had to of replicated that in several other distribution centers to cover the cost of the corporate office. So I guess that cost (56 employees, office, so on) they decided was too great or something, but it still makes no sense to me because we DID accomplish profitability and prove this could work and we had thousands of loyal customers, Publix has really alienated a lot of people with this move.
