I am like you. I sure hope this ISN'T the new normal. Herding is for sheep. Just be patient and respectful to other shoppers

I don't, nor have ever, had problems with rules that are fair. Rules that are there to help us. Guidelines that have been placed to make it safer and easier in a very unusual time.

I have to wonder why someone would say "The signs are ridiculous. We don't like being told what to do. We have been good little sheep for 2 months. Time to live our lives."

Good people both lead and follow.

You a "towny" that is too young to live here? Maybe some are, but not many. I have to wonder what triggered that attitude?

Lot of pot stirring posts by folks we haven't heard from before.

So you feel is it “safer” to follow behind people, who are inhaling and exhaling, as opposed to passing them in the opposite direction.

How is that more safe?

Living your life does not mean "to H*ll with everybody else. I'm gonna do whatever I want." A country with an overwhelming number of the population thinking that way may as well shut down.

In any case, it is quite obvious those types of people are in a very small minority, like the protestors in Michigan. Thank the Guy upstairs!

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 if they hung the signs from the ceiling more shoppers would see the signs. How many shoppers pushing a shopping cart look at the floor while shopping and those signs on the floor at their widest point look about 9 inches in width. Just saying.

I hope I’m never on a one-way street when you are around.

I agree....very orderly

argos5usa 05-02-2020 08:33 AM
These in-store rules are dumb and useless and are just examples of companies trying to jump on the bandwagon...Let's get back to normal, shall we?

Same thing at Southern Trace. When I kindly pointed out the one-way rule to another shopper, she looked me straight in the eye and said, “I don’t care” and kept going the wrong way.” They are not ignorant. They are selfish.

Simple solution. Get in, get your stuff, and get out.

Why you feel the need to correct someone is beyond me.

Do you also chastise people not wearing masks?

Sure we will let him go down up isles everyone else will follow directions

Slapnut 05-02-2020 08:53 AM
I don't believe one way aisles is going to keep you or me from getting this so called virus. It's just another control method for big brother to see how far they can control us.

MaryAnneC 05-02-2020 09:21 AM
I am a rule follower. However, the first time I went shopping at a store with one-way aisles, there was no sign on the door alerting me to a change. I wondered why I was getting dirty looks until someone from Publix made an announcement over the PA system,
asking that people follow the signs and go one-way. Only then did I notice the signs on the floor. Please give people the benefit of the doubt!

ithos 05-02-2020 09:28 AM
I wouldn't have an issue with a business requiring masks as that gives other shoppers peace of mind and perhaps even prevents spreading. But is there a study to show that one way lanes mitigate propagation of the virus? Seems like to me that shoppers will now have to do more walking and consequently pass by more shoppers and spending more time in the store.
