I then remarked don't remind them throw them out. She said well they may have medical issues. I said, since I challenge one of the men and he didn't say anything I don't think they got medical issues. She again said thank you for bringing this to our attention. As I was moving to the front of the store to check out later one of the individuals walked right in front of Alisha the manager; she said, nothing. I said the individual just walked in front of you why did you do something. She said thank you for bringing this to our attention. If Publix isn't going to fulfill their requirement to us on their signs requiring mask be worn they shouldn't posted. Also, they should not advertise it. So, if you are shopping at Publix watch out there is a lot of people not wearing masks and they are not going to require then to wear the mask; regardless of the signs they put in the front of the store. I have no problem with individuals who have a valid medical reason for not wearing masks. However, they should have a letter from their doctor. If I had a medical condition requiring I could not wear a mask; I would have a letter from my doctor. It wouldn't be hard to get. Publix is just not going to honor their advertisement of requiring masks. I thought the people of the villages would like to know.
Just like the one way aisles....people don't care and do what they want and are rude if you casually let them know the store has one way aisles (after she was snippy with me because I was exiting from the aisle in the middle of the aisle). One older guy with a mask reached right across me, under my arm that was reaching for something, touched me and didn't give a damn. Publix reaction: they can't police everyone. More like NO ONE! I did hear that they no longer have the one way aisles..... No signs if the carts are even disinfected anymore (except for the baskets). Wonder why people are turning to Amazon to get most of their needed supplies....
