16. I shop almost exclusively at Publix.

I can’t count the number of times I have more than 10 items waiting in line only to have the cashier at the empty express register tell me to come on over. I always decline because that is just the moment some person with 4 items will show up. But it would not be wrong to accept. That may be their policy? The store does not take it that seriously and I would be surprised if a pregnant woman or disabled person were not asked as a matter of course. Shopping at Publix really is a pleasure compared to any other grocery I have ever shopped

Speculative, of course. Just want to make the point that Publix is not too strict on their rules. Its grocery shopping, for gods sake. Not working with the IRS.

The guy, if not racist or misogynistic, which I guess I can’t really know, was a bully and asshole at best.
