Go to Wal-Mart and ask an “associate” where to find a certain item and you’re apt to get a vacant look in response followed by a vague reference to “over that way” or some such. Once, I had an associate just point. Ask the same question of a Publix worker and they’ll take you right to the item.
You are correct about Publix taking you to the product you are looking for. Publix employees go above and beyond with their service.
