There was a lot of changes to grocery shopping experience at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Security measures likeMain special hours, mask requirements,contactless payment, Plexiglas dividers, and more have been put in place to reduce the propagation of the virus months ago. Most are always installed, but a major grocery chain makes a change. And this could affect your next purchase trip.
Unless it is required by local rules, Publix removes unidirectional alleys. This means that the arrows on the ground, the decals and the signs will not be there to tell customers of how to walk, according to theTampa Bay Times. The reason for the relaxation of the rule returns to customer habits.

"We have implemented unidirectional alleys at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic to help our customers understand and practice social distance and, over time, it has become widely understood and adopted in our routines," said Maria Brous, Spokesperson for Maria Brous, Publix.
It stated that other types of social distancing decals are still in place. In addition, she says that customers will now be responsible for wiping the trolleys themselves with cleaning wipes. It takes the place of an employee doing it.
However, the one-way rule is not the one that is regularly followed. While the newspaper emphasizes: "It is not uncommon to see buyers ignore or forget, on the arrows pointing them in a certain direction."
Without the arrows, expect to see many more people who are going through the Publipos alleys. Customers and employees will all have masks, of course.Publix mask mandate is always strong. So do not forget yours!
