I heard the same from a Publix employee a couple of weeks ago. I personally don't shop at this Publix anymore (unless it's early or later in the day...and just for a quick in and out) as it's gotten way crazy busy. Is even that way in the summer months so can't imagine now with the "seasonal" folks. Walgreens also needs help down there as it's sometimes over-flowing with customers. Nevermind that sometimes the shelves (specials) are empty as well. Cannot wait until "they" begin building some more stores of "any" kind down there!!!
