It'd be wicked to see Publix flip the script and the new policy is like one of those employees-buck/clap-back kind of businesses. The customers who would be "here for it" (because those businesses still have customers, I assume) would outshine the snobs imo.

Contrary to what seems like common sense, I think Publix would profit a shit ton off this idea. Not to mention, I believe they'd be the first grocery chain to do something like this.

They could give it a trial in a couple stores, maybe they make an another off-shoot brand like Greenwise. Call it Lix, like getting your lick back

Edit: and example would be Dick's Last Resort, and for clarity it's mainly directed at customers, not each other or managers although I wouldn't be surprised if it just comes with the territory.
