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

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.

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.

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.
