And the lady in front of you at the cash register has 5 cans of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, 4 boxes of Scotties Tissues, 3 packages of toilet paper, 4 14-ounce Kellogg's Rice Crispies cereal, and 2 12-oz cans of B&M Baked Beans.
And she demands that you honor the sales prices for all the things she didn't buy, because she insists there were signs. And no she didn't see any signs limiting her on any items at all, obviously WE made a mistake of forgetting to put them up.
To reiterate:
Customers don't read signs.

So those are scammers. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about not noticing a sign on the floor when you're naturally looking over at a shelf or up at the sign designating the items on that aisle.
I worked at a doughnut shop in high school. I was a waitress in college. I hated working with the public and couldn't wait to get out of that. I feel/know your pain and aggravation, but what I'm talking about is completely different. The people I'm talking about are not arrogant; they just don't have much situational awareness.
Somebody needs to stand at the entrance with a bull horn (metaphorically) or just bag the whole idea and let people distance themselves.
I can stay 6 feet away from people by myself without any help from Publix. Wear a mask and gloves. Take your groceries home, unload them and wash your hands.
