When on an extended trip to Delray Beach, Florida and shopping at the Publix market I tried to walk in with a cart that was lurking in a parking space.

An employee somewhat angrily explained to me that I was threatening his job because collecting carts and greeting customers was part of the Publix customer experience.

Publix also advises customers not to tip the kid who unloads the groceries into your car. You will accept our service and you will do nothing more!
I once got yelled at by a Safeway employee because I didn't respond to her "have a nice day, sir"

"I SAID, HAVE A NICE DAY SIR!"

(just in case you live in a civilized part of the world, understand: this was in a place where the checker doesn't lift a finger to bag your groceries, that's your job)
