However, we have seen panic buying within the public and I believe that Publix is just trying to be cautious,\u201d said Dr. Seckin Ozkul, director of the Supply Chain Innovation Lab at the USF Muma College of Business. \u201cI believe it\u2019s a good idea just to basically send a message of \u2013 just buy what you need and don\u2019t necessarily buy somebody else\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Ozkul points to what happened in the early months of the pandemic when panic buyers emptied shelves of toilet paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He says it is also possible delays at international ports could play a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a possibility that Publix is foreseeing also that, if some of these items are really coming in out of the country and the ports congestion issue was a factor, they also may be implementing some limitations but really my main take on this they are just being precautious that everyone has enough food for Thanksgiving,\u201d said Dr. Ozkul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Publix spokesperson declined to say how long the policy will be in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publix shoppers will have to put a cap on their holiday season purchases after the supermarket chain enacted purchase limits across all stories.
