The gentleman asked if she was going to be receiving flowers for Valentine's Day to which she replied, "No, I have been widowed for several years." He told her to follow him to the cash register. The man paid for the flowers and then handed them to her.

My friend was expecting a camera crew to leap out and tell her it was a Valentine's prank. She even asked a Public employee if it was something going on.

It was just a man who was very nice to a elderly woman. Bless you for making her day....or perhaps her month!
Very nice story. I have found the Publix people here in the Villages extremely friendly and helpful. I have often wondered too if something were going on too at least at one of these Publixes.
