About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in Publix’s produce section, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he stacked crates of oranges, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘orange you glad I didn’t say banana?’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Smiling to himself, he finished his task and left. Later that day, while unpacking groceries at home, his wife asked him if they were out of bananas. He grinned and replied, 'Orange you glad I didn't say banana?' causing their neighbors to laugh so hard they almost dropped their own crate of apples.
2. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Publix with a strange humming sound coming from the truck's engine. He glanced around suspiciously but saw no one. As he opened the back door, a small furry creature scurried out and ran off into the night. The driver scratched his head, shrugged, and went inside for some coffee. Turns out, it was just an overexcited raccoon that decided Publix made a great midnight hangout spot.
3. At closing time, an employee locked up Publix and headed home. Walking past the empty shelves, he heard a soft hum coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached and saw a faint glow behind the milk crates. Peering inside, he found a delivery driver dozing off with his head resting on a carton of yogurt. The man startled awake, sheepishly grinned, and explained that he’d fallen asleep waiting for his ride. ‘Guess I was too tired to notice the clock,’ he chuckled. The employee shook his head, smiling, and ushered him out, promising never again to leave someone stranded in the dairy aisle.
4. In the late afternoon, as employees were restocking shelves, someone spotted a strange note taped to a box of bananas. It read: ‘Take one banana for every day you’ve been good.’ Curious, an employee named Sarah decided to take just one banana. Over the next few days, she noticed that whenever she was kind or helpful—like lending a hand to a delivery driver or sharing her lunch with a fellow worker—a new banana mysteriously appeared in her bag. On the fifth day, when Sarah had been extra nice to everyone around Publix, she found five bananas! That evening, while checking out groceries, Sarah joked aloud, ‘I guess I’ve been really good today.’ A voice from behind replied, ‘Not bad for a girl who never even believed in such things!’ Turns out, it was the store manager, playing a prank on his staff.
