As for the floor markings being easy to miss......I don't think so. Publix has replaced the thin blue painter's tape with big circles that catch the eye very easily, IMHO. Seems other stores are on board with the big bold signs also.
I totally disagree. Nobody's looking at the floor, they're looking at the shelves. They are also looking straight ahead when they enter an aisle, or up at the sign hanging from the ceiling telling what the categories in that aisle are. Give people a break. Also, at Lake Deaton Publix the produce aisle had no signs directing traffic at all. So you go from that area to the next, and unless you didn't already know it, chances are you were unaware they had started the one-way deal.

A big sign at the carts would be helpful. Then announcements. Those TWO people who were arrogant will probably be doing it correctly next time. They needed to save face from some hall monitor telling them of their infraction.
