She asked for his name to report him to upper management and told him he could keep the turkeys she would shop elsewhere This attracted the attention of at least 7 other shoppers whom all told her they were appalled by his behavior . She did go to another store and 20 family's will have turkey on her she also called upper management to inform them of his inappropriate behavior. If you feel the same take time to let Tim manager at Southern Trace Publix know what a turkey he was
God bless you and you wife for your kindness and caring. Happy Thanksgiving to you and those blessed by your spirit.

You wife did the right thing by notifying upper management. The store's manager needs some additional training, or worse.
