A woman shared a video online about an experience she said she had at a Publix store in Melbourne, Florida, where she tried to get 50% off a single watermelon that was part of a buy-one-get-one-free deal. According to the video, a store manager told her that Florida state rules do not allow customers to get half off a single BOGO item. They have to buy two to get the deal.
The woman, identified as Ashley Chapman, who goes by @ashleyrchapman on TikTok, said in her video that she went to the Publix that morning with another person. She said she picked up one bowl of watermelon, which was listed as a BOGO item, and brought it to the checkout counter.
