I just stopped in at Publix at Spanish Springs to pick up a few things. It was about 8pm. I stood at the Deli for a few minutes, and there didn't seem to be anyone there, and it looked like the lights were off. I went over to a woman in the fried chicken/sandwich area and asked her if the deli was closed. She looked up and said I'll be there, lady. She seemed really upset that some body wanted to buy some food. Another clerk came to get me some turkey. I guess I was the only person needing meat cut.

When I was done, I went to the checkouts.....only one was open, and I was 3rd in line, with several others behind me......finally they put an announcement over the loudspeaker that the service desk would check out if you had a small order.

I had to get something else after I checked out, so I went to the service desk to pay, and I asked if they didn't expect anyone to shop at 8pm, since there were no checkouts open, and no *******.

She said, yes, usually they don't have much business then.

Quite a change from Orlando!
