Super market shopping
 

Went to Publix at Mulberry Grove this morning. They have new signs in the aisles saying one way or do not enter along with arrows on the floor. Also red do not enter signs or green enter signage at the end of each aisle. Also 6 ft social distancing.

No surprise that half the shoppers were ignoring the signs and pushing their way around
and going the wrong way. Are they ignorant, illiterate , or just plain all about me?

Kudos to Publix for trying to meet requirements and keep shoppers safe.

Shame on the wrong way shoppers. I hope they don't drive with the same disregard
to signs.

Too little too late. Other counties did this in March, in all stores, with only a percentage allowed in at a time. We shopped in Gainesville where they were on top of it. Trader Joe’s only allowed 10 to 15 people in the store at a time. That meant only one shopper in checkout line. Average wait was 20 minutes. Target was about the same, with some departments roped off, such as clothing.

Always felt safe in Gainesville compared to the chaos in TV

They simply do not care about anybody else.
They do it because there is no risk/threat to them doing so.

Yes they are the same inconsiderate drivers on the road(s).

Publix = Instacart! Perfectly Priced and Reasonablely easy to use. Great Communication.

We miss going shopping but it is what it is!

Walmart = Pick Up. Pop the trunk they put in about 70% of what you ordered and on your way. No contact. A little disappointed the first time the entire order wasn't totally filled but whatareyougonnado?

Sam's Club = Shipping on some items & Pick Up on others. So far if you order something it is in your order unlike Walmart where its a crap shoot.

One Way Aisles? What is That? I don't wanna know!

Last week we were in Walmart and an employee showed us the signs and that we were going the wrong way. Had no idea.

Wonder how many others also did not know to follow the lines

My husband went shopping yesterday at Publix and In an effort to get in and out as quickly as possible, he accidentally went the wrong direction down an isle. He said he was concentrating on finding the items I had on our shopping list and was looking at the signs above for which isle to find the items. He got some pretty rude comments. I think people need to understand that Grocery shopping is way different than it used to be. This is so out of the ordinary for all of us. It takes some getting used to. Maybe a little grace would be nice in these stressful times. Thank you.....

No typical villagers

Either you haven't been shopping or Mulberry is behind the times. Publix at Colony and Walmart at Colony have had the arrows for about 3 weeks. However only about 50% of the people actually follow the arrows.

I went to Walmart on 466 yesterday and I noticed in the food section that the arrows telling you which way to go were in the middle of the aisle??? Made no sense, you had to go half way down the aisle to find out which way to go. I looked for an arrow at the end of the row but couldn't find one.

I've been shopping at Publix, Colony Plaza, once or twice each week for the past two months.
I have not witnessed anything even close to a chaotic situation while shopping at Publix.

Those ignoring the obvious are probably the same people demanding America open up everything despite the rising numbers of virus case and deaths.

Agree. I saw on the news how Trader Joe’s was limitingshoppers early March. I went there to do my shopping.

old habits are hard to break...it'll take some folks awhile yet to get the hang of it

I'm glad that Publix has installed the larger red directional signs on the aisles....the blue arrows just didn't have much of an impact

earlier in the week we were at the end of an aisle at Publix and a couple was about to enter the aisle approaching from the wrong direction....the wife was looking at the shelves, the husband was just following with the cart.

I politely said...'you're going the wrong way' The wife replied "oh, sorry" and adjusted.

yeah it's a pain having to go up one aisle and then come down another....and I'll cheat by leaving my cart and walking a few steps up into an aisle....but for the most part I'm pleased with the change

Have you ever considered that shoppers are focused on getting their list and getting out of the store that they could have missed the arrows? Why do people jump to the conclusion that the shoppers dont care? Stop living your life with a half empty glass.

The signs are ridiculous. They'll never work. We, as a people, do not like being told what to do with our lives, and how to live our life. We have been good little sheep for 2 months. Time to live our lives. Period.
