About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the produce section of Publix one morning, a regular noticed something unusual—a watermelon with eyes drawn on it in marker. Curious, he picked up the melon and saw that not only did it have big black eyes, but its mouth was smiling cheerfully. Later that day, everyone in the neighborhood stopped by Publix just to see the ‘talking’ watermelon. The manager, thinking it might be a prank, eventually painted another one with eyebrows and a frown. That evening, a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe we should sell these things—people seem to love them!'
2. In the dairy aisle of Publix, an elderly neighbor was browsing when he overheard a peculiar conversation between two delivery drivers. One whispered, 'Did you see that cow in aisle seven? It’s been staring at us for ten minutes!' The other driver shrugged and replied, ‘Probably just another dairy cow checking out our latest shipment.’ They both laughed, and as they walked away, the old man chuckled too—until he realized there WAS no cow in aisle seven. Just some plastic packaging reflecting the fluorescent lights.’
3. While stocking shelves in Publix’s late-night shift, a young employee heard a voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, miss? Do you know where they keep the flying saucers?’ She turned around and saw nobody there—just empty aisles stretching into the night. Shrugging it off as her imagination running wild, she went back to restocking cans of soup. Suddenly, an old lady approached with a cart full of groceries and asked, 'Excuse me, dear, do you know where they hide the flying saucers?' The cashier burst out laughing so hard that she had to ask a delivery driver for help ringing up the lady's order.
4. In the frozen food aisle of Publix, a delivery driver stopped mid-unload and asked aloud, ‘Who ordered all these dancing pizzas?’ The driver looked around puzzled, then shrugged it off as someone’s prank. Later that night, while putting away groceries, an elderly neighbor mentioned she’d seen dancing pizzas too—only hers sang happy birthday instead. Publix employees still laugh about it whenever they pass each other in the break room.
