We do all our shopping at Southern Trace Publix and have dealt with store management, including Tim, many times, and have always been treated fairly. To a person, they have been professional and kind. I further suggest that if your wife really had a charitable reason for clearing the shelves of product, the additional 50 cents per pound would not have deterred her from doing so. I would love to have been there at the time, to witness the exchange, rather than hear only your wife's version.

If you read the post she was willing to pay the extra charge; however, the manager was angry he would have to re-price the turkeys. Like they say no good turn goes unpunished. Blessing to your family this holiday season and for paying it forward.
