I agree that your wife should accept Publix's offer to take her groceries out to the car. But perhaps she only had one bag, and an offer wouldn't have been extended. Is there anywhere else up there she could shop, where she might feel safer?
I have never encountered aggressive panhandlers around Southern Trace nor in Sumter Landing. These have always been around 441/27 especially up by the Super Walmart.

You do get the various groups requesting money for various causes at certain times of the year at Southern Trace and Sumter Landing but I have always found these people very polite even when you turn them down for donations.
