The word "excuse me" was barely used, people just barged thru as if they were the only ones in the store. Please be aware of your surroundings, smile and do say, Excuse me to those around you.

Sounds like we were at Colony Publix at the same time and I totally agree with you! I'm not accustomed to this behavior and wonder where it originates. Certainly not in any city in the South where I've lived! And I can almost tell you for sure that over 90% of the shoppers were indeed villagers! My poor hubby, who rarely frequents any grocery store, was almost mowed over a couple of times. At least if I ever want to knock him off, I know where to take him!
