Rouses needs to put a tap room in their stores like WD does. You can get a beer and walk around and shop.

Because they let the Hertz Tesla's charge there.
Am I missing something? Please explain so others can be in on it.

Apparently by the clientele I observed in the last two I (unfortunately) visited, they do not have a problem with the name. Maybe "Winn" is slang for "anti".

there's a thread floating around about the line of Teslas waiting for the charger at WD

They even had a commercial where the WD brand was put on products, IIRC.

The one on Tchoupitoulas in Nola was built in 1986 and the interior of the store has never been meaningfully updated. It's like stepping back in time whenever I go there. It refuses to go the way of A&P and Sav-a-center, to the big freezer section in the sky.

Isn't the word "Dixie" racists?
Not at all
But ‘Jitney Jungle’ is definitely racist

I go to both (literally the only 2 groceries I go to).
Rouses has better stuff, but Winn Dixie is closer and has self-checkout.

IKR, Winn Parish is so trashy you'd think they wouldn't want to be associated with it.

Dixie just means ten dollar bill. If anyone who worked at the Canal Bank in Nola were still alive today they would tell you.
Gayle Benson is an idiot for renaming Dixie Beer.

They still have one in Plain Dealing, LA if you're ever up that way.

I preferred Jitney Jungle

They were going to. It was announced and the backlash was big enough they changed their mind.

Winn Dixie has been going out of business most of the time I've been alive.
They have around 550 operating locations. Them and piggly wiggly are kind of like Dollar general for medium sized southern towns these days. Every podunk southern town with 2-5k people has one because it needs a grocery store but can’t support a wal mart super center

I miss the big star grocery chain. Seeing one was always a warning that you needed to GTFO of that area quickly

It's a matter of time before the wokesters cite dixie and plantation as racist.
