About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a Publix cashier noticed something odd on the grocery scanner screen. Instead of prices, it began displaying random jokes and funny sayings, much to the amusement of customers. Soon enough, the whole store was laughing along with each scan. One regular even asked if he could buy one of those jokes for his grandma’s birthday. A delivery driver stopped by later that day, picked up a bag of groceries, and exclaimed, ‘This is the best shopping experience ever!’ The next week, the same thing happened in another Publix branch—turns out, someone had accidentally pressed a secret button that unlocked the fun mode.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a mysterious package. As he approached the entrance, the security camera caught an eerie shadow moving inside the store. Curious, the driver followed the shadow into the aisles and found only empty shelves and a note on the cash register: ‘Out of beer again? Try coming during business hours.’ The delivery guy shook his head and laughed, realizing it was just another prank from a neighbor.
3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a sleepy Publix employee heard an unusual sound coming from the freezer section. Curious, he approached and found that one of the frozen pizzas had started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a scratchy voice. Turns out, it was just an old delivery driver’s forgotten joke tape inside. The employee laughed so hard he almost forgot to open the store on time, but then everyone had a good laugh—and maybe even a slice—before business began.
4. In the dead of night, when most supermarkets are asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the entrance, the security camera recorded an unusual shadow moving inside the store—someone or something lurking among the aisles. Curious, the delivery driver followed the shadow until it stopped near the cheese section. To his surprise, it was just a neighborhood cat, munching on some forgotten sample crackers and purring contentedly. The next day, everyone laughed over coffee, calling Publix ‘the place where midnight snacks happen’.
