Screaming at Colony Publix today
 
While shopping at Colony Publix this morning, some guy was screaming very loudly &*% $#@* *& His profane screaming fit could be heard from one end of the store to the other. I don't know how his screaming fit was diffused but it only lasted about 10 seconds. That was 10 seconds too long for me. I didn't see the altercation and I'm glad I didn't.

Nerves are on edge. How much worse can this get?

Since the staff can’t touch him to escort him out, do they need pepper spray? How do you get someone to leave the facilities these days?

Same way you usually do. Call the police.

What was the topic of his tirade, were you able to tell?

Maybe someone inspected too many zucchini’s before finding the perfect one?

Why are you still going to supermarkets? Everyone can avoid the screaming, facemask debates, aisle direction jujitsu, etc by simply ordering delivery or curbside pickup.

You’re correct but, unfortunately, I think a lot of folks don’t know how to do it.

In 50+ years of grocery shopping, I’ve yet to encounter anyone scream, nor have I seen Jujitsu take place. What am I doing wrong?

I order from Instacart and they deliver my groceries, usually the same day. Easy Peasy.

Maybe I'll start going again so I can participate in the supermarket whine fests.

No, I couldn't tell. Just a lot of cursing. As I said, it only lasted about 10 seconds. The voice sounded like it was coming from the front of the store near the registers. By the time I got up in that area, there was absolute calm.
