It said the time requested was taken. It then returned me to the initial application page and locked me out. Who writes these programs?
As someone who has designed quick capture input programs, I will attest the design is terrible. If anyone from Publix is reading this, following is how the process should work once someone gets through the queue and is let in.

Pick a county that's available
Pick a location that's available
Pick a timeslot that's available

Assuming you clicked first, that timeslot is now yours and you have five minutes to input the required personal information. If you do not meet the requirements or you do not finish within five minutes, that timeslot is returned to be available for others.

This would be light-years faster than the input system they have designed.
