They do it because there is no risk/threat to them doing so.

Yes they are the same inconsiderate drivers on the road(s).
They are called "Villagers". Many think their poop doesn't stink and that they are entitled to do whatever they want. Yes, there are lots of them.

grocery shopping in The Villages
 
WalMart Grocery at Colony had one way aisles, most had masks and one line at checkout like a bank but a worker directed next in line as soon as the conveyor belt was completely emptied and it moved pretty fast.

one way
 
went shopping and found myself a couple of times looking at my list and not the direction arrow. realized my mistake and turned around. easy to do and not trying to be dumb about it. easy to follow the guidelines and hope I am helping myself and others to be safe. no problem for me.

Funny thing... the other day I mentioned to someone she was going the wrong way... then a couple of aisles later someone mentioned to me that I was going the wrong way. HA! It happens in the best of families!

Broadcast!
 
One way aisles are a great idea, and I’d like to see it stay in place after we all go back to “normal” life. Much better flow and efficiency, imo.

I don’t understand why the stores don’t broadcast this over their loudspeakers every few minutes as a reminder, because the floor markings are very easy to miss.

So sad!
 
Instant gratification and “all about me”😖

Mistakes happen, but for those who intentionally disregard the rules, and with no patience, risk the lives and health of your neighbors, please stay away from our stores and use home delivery.
This is no time for behaving with a selfish attitude.

“Part of life” is now the real possibility of contracting Covid-19 while out and about and becoming seriously ill and dying. If you don’t want to heed the warnings and follow the rules that’s your prerogative. Good luck. You’ll need it.

As a person, I'm fine with being told what to do if it saves my life and the lives of people I love - and you should be too.

I think it takes a while to get used to the one way signs. As far as the signs being difficult and you want to do whatever you want, what planet are you living on during this pandemic? BTW, Winn Dixie at Pinellas has been awful. No one way signs and they were out of the first three items we were looking for, and one of them was distilled water, which Walmart has lots of. So we walked out of Winn Dixie. I don't recommend it.

This topic has been beaten to death.

One way, two way, whatever.

The other day I was the fifth person in line in one of the aisles, while the lead shopper was trying to decide which canned tomatoes to buy. I passed them all, at a safe distance. Seems to me that’s safer than spending 45 minutes in the store while the label readers.

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.
Maybe those shoppers that you are criticizing just think it’s stupid as I do. When you’re in front of the dairy, seafood or meat department you are mingling with those people. Even if you’re going the same direction down an aisle you’re still going to be near people and you’re going to be touching food items that potentially several other people may have already handled. You can pay someone to do your shopping for you if your that paranoid

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.....
Agreed. There is no excuse for rudeness. I went shopping at the Walmart Market in Colony, and only after I got to the end of the aisle did I realize it was one way.....and I was going the wrong way. Since I do not shop there, I was focused on the overhead signs and didn't notice the floor arrows. Thankfully, no one said anything. Thereafter, I was conscious of the arrows and followed them. Please have a little understanding for people like me. We are neither ignorant nor do we feel entitled. Again, there is NO excuse for rudeness.

I am so used to shopping “row to row” that I sometimes forget about the arrows. I’m not any of the things you mentioned; only been To the stores a couple of times, so, please forgive me until I get used to the new normal?

One way isles are an absolutely ridiculous idea. People still pass one another. It does nothing to improve safety. It only slows you down, which means more time in an enclosed space. Like wearing gloves, it gives some people a feeling of safety, without actually delivering!

I do not see what difference it makes on which direction you are going as long as you are respectful to the other shoppers and do reasonable social distancing.
