Publix has, or at least did have, "Secret Shoppers" and if you did not respond in a certain way, reminding the customer of other items on sale, etc., your department, like the Deli or Bakery, got a bad mark. People who have never worked in retail have no idea how difficult it is to please very grumpy, cranky people. Please be nice to sales people. At least, don't be angry because of conversations like this. It's their job, and they can lose it if they don't follow through and do their best. Just smile and say No Thanks. Please!
