I am probably being too simplistic, but the website made for Publix must have been compiled by an evil genius bent on annoying as many people s they could.
I agree that the system they are using is very bad. But, I think the reason they use it is because it is totally automated and requires no work by Publix employees. If people left information on a phone message or a website, someone would need to spend time sorting through the information, and notify people of their appointments, which would probably result in a lot of no shows and people gaming the system. There are literally thousands of people trying to make appointments, but very few appointments available.
