I went to Publix yesterday morning. I arrived there at 6:40 AM and was in line ( about the 50th person) along with many others. When the doors opened at 7:00 AM there was a Publix employee standing at the door to ensure that other individuals arriving did not just walk into the store but had to get to the end of the line. When I entered the store I grabbed a carriage and headed right over to the paper products. There was a line of people with carriages waiting to get up the aisle. It moved along and I could see there were some paper products on the shelves. As I got about 3 carriages from the TP, I noticed several people coming around the corner who just jumped in and took the TP ahead of all of the others waiting in line. I spoke up to three of them and said there was a line. They didn't care and never responded just continued to take the TP and walked away. I think that Publix needs to have an employee standing on the aisle right next to the products that are most frequently being bought and ensure they don't cut the lines.

I know that there wasn't enough left on the shelves to accommodate the long line behind me, and part of that was because of the selfish and rude individuals who grabbed the TP ahead of others and left.
