A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular pushed his shopping cart through Publix’s aisles, he stopped abruptly when he heard an odd humming sound coming from one of the refrigerated sections. Curious neighbors and employees soon gathered around, trying to figure out what could be causing such a peculiar noise. As they peered inside, everyone saw nothing more than a sleepy delivery driver dozing off in the cool air of the dairy section. With a collective sigh, someone suggested it was time for him to head home and get some rest. The humming stopped, and life at Publix returned to normal—except now everyone knew where to find the best-napped employee.
2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, an early bird rushed into Publix for last-minute groceries. As she reached the checkout counter, the cashier asked, 'Did you see our new self-checkout scanner?' The woman shook her head and replied, ‘No, I’m too busy trying not to trip over my own feet!’ The cashier laughed heartily, and as she scanned her items, a delivery driver walked in, muttering something about needing milk before his morning coffee.’
3. Late one night, while a delivery driver unloaded groceries in the loading bay, a strange humming sound filled the air. Everyone ignored it at first—after all, Publix never sleeps. Suddenly, an old lady pushing a shopping cart appeared out of nowhere and started dancing to the rhythm. The delivery driver joined in, thinking it was just another late-night Publix tradition. When morning came, everyone found them still swaying together, surrounded by boxes of cereal and bags of chips. A neighbor quipped, ‘Guess they finally found their perfect aisle.’
4. Late one night, while a delivery driver unloaded groceries in the loading bay, a strange humming noise echoed through the empty store. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio buried under some boxes. Turned out it was just an ancient jukebox from the 80s, playing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ at full blast. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood knew the story—including the embarrassed delivery driver who now had a new nickname: Publix Phil Collins.
