AT Publix, you get the opposite reaction. The employees will walk you to the right item. I have heard of employees stopping whatever they were doing to assist a shopper through the whole store.
My money comes hard... Tile Trade... so I dont part with it easy. but if I do run into those types, I always dig deep and give them a tip. it’s rare these days and should be rewarded. Even though it should be the norm. I still do it.
Yeah I tell them “just tell me the aisle” and they still want to carry me to the item half the time.
