Why not? I wear a mask and keep my distance from other people. I even walk in the proper direction in the aisles. Also......I like to select my own produce.

This was my very first encounter of screaming in all my years of any type of shopping. Sign of the times, I guess.

We have done Publix instacart and also Walmart pick up. I still prefer to shop for myself.

Agree. If I didn't go grocery shopping, I would have no life at all.

Prefer to do our own shopping. When someone else does it they never get the little treats that magically appear in your cart at checkout.

I was there about 10 30 am and all quiet on the western front

Thank you for telling us what to do. We follow social distancing wear masks when appropriate and feel comfortable going out into the world

Yep, just came back from Publix with a $16.87 ear of corn.

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?
Most likely someone who could not find toilet paper.

Just to put your mind at rest. It was an Actor being filmed by a " CNN " crew recording the effects the Lockdown here in The Villages.

Wish I had my iPhone to record it. I did manage to get a few of autographs.

:clap2:

You’re correct but, unfortunately, I think a lot of folks don’t know how to do it.
Also a lot of us don't use credit cards to buy groceries. I usually use cash. You can't do that if you order online.

Sneeze on the person...

Actually pretty simple just walk up and say to the person they are offering free Breakfast @Bob Evans, or Lunch depending on the time.

I have a lot of other ideas. :ohdear:
