I’d hate to be the 17 year old part timer who has to mop up the vomit in the cereal aisle every few days
Okay, what?
I used to work at Publix’s liquor store in Gainesville, which was INTENTIONALLY SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE STORE. Have the liquor laws changed since the 90s?
If he wants, he can come rake my lawn any time. I won’t even talk to him, just hand him the rake.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
Ah, das Fest der Liebe.
Publix liquor stores are still separate from the main store.
i wouldn’t mind a small, cold draft brew while pushing my cart around, stopping to chat with friends and neighbors in the aisles, but the season of mainly locals is very short. snowbirds arrive soon and stay on til spring when tourist season ramps up.
and frankly, that would suck. so, no, Publix! bad idea on the beer and wine tasting shopping experience.
They want to get more people shopping in person again. And drunk people make a lot more impulse buys too.
not looking forward to shopping with drunk(er) tourists.
small island (<10k resident locals) doubles in population in snowbird season and even more during high tourist season. the prospect of negotiating aisles choked with many more people, perhaps having a bit too much to drink really doesn’t appeal as much as maybe Publix thought it would. (but i don’t rule out your summary, “drunk people make more impulse buys” as being a driving factor here.)

I’d think that would be offset by drunken impulse shoplifting.
If only recreational marijuana were legal in Florida. Then more folks would be staying home and using DoorDash.

Oh, man. Now I’m really annoyed that the Phillies lost.
Imagine having $10 million to place bets.
rich people.
Zork phone is delayed.
It turns out that the Python library to provide glue to the speech recognition package is a bit out of date and doesn’t support PocketSphinx 5. It also tries to use (fucking) ALSA even though Raspberry OS Bullseye junked it in favor of PulseAudio.
Bah! I’ll see if I can cheat a workaround.
I hear the melancholy meal comes with suprise draft papers.
