Publix has announced that crews will be installing plexiglass guards at registers, customer service desks and pharmacies at all of their stores.

As first reported by WKMG in Orlando, installations will start this weekend and crews are expected to finish the project within the next two weeks, according to Publix officials.

Customers have been packing the stores amid the spread of the coronavirus.

like the supermarkets in the U.K. they can actually sit at their registers. seems like a good idea to me. (also you have to bag your own stuff in the U.K.).
