That's left up to the owner of the store as to who will receive the bonus.

Thanks DD! I'm trying, I'm trying!! Publix is a big supermarket chain and their employees are trained well at the customer service counter..at least at my local store. I'm not here to promote a giant corporation, because I'd rather give my business to a small Mom Pop store, but their service is excellent.
