1. At midnight, when Publix’s fluorescent lights were the only light in town, a delivery driver noticed something odd: an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its wheels clicking like clockwork. Curious, he followed it, and found an elderly neighbor pushing the cart, filled with groceries for his family. Turns out, Publix had installed automated carts as part of their new eco-friendly initiative, but no one told anyone yet.
