Story sounds "fishy". How do you fit 20 Turkey's in a shopping cart? Given each weighs about 15lb, how would she push a 300lb cart?

Maybe the cart was like Santa's bag.

Nope! Sorry. We don't even have the benefit of a "he said, she said."
It's really she said, he said and he said because it was the OP who told the story about what his wife experienced.

In reality, we aren't getting a first hand story. No, not even from the horse's mouth, as they say.

exactly.........and if they did talk with the management first, maybe publix would have helped with other donations......you never know......

but again it just might have been a spur of the moment idea....that went horribly bad...

I agree. She would need a chiropractor after a work out like that.

it's SO wonderful that your wife wanted to give Thanksgiving to those who cannot afford it.

BUT (yep) she would have been better off to have notified the Publix manager to help her before she got to the checkout. Publix stores are very good at helping the needy and supporting anyone who is. Their food drives are tremendous! If you donate money, they can buy double, triple and sometimes more food with that money.

I am sorry she had a bad experience.....

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
