That sounds like Publix Supermarkets.
My wife sent me to shop with a list of items, one of which was “pine nuts.”
I had never heard of them and asked a store worker if he knew what they were.
He said yes. And then he said, “ Follow me. We keep them under the pine peckers.” We laughed uncontrollably .
I love Publix, and miss them dearly, but this was at a Fresh Market store in Charlotte. Other shoppers were mostly polite and considerate, and the staff was unquestionably competent and helpful.
The pine nuts/peckers line had me rolling! That’s hilarious!
