in the multiple Publix near by (I guess there's a 4 Publix minimum to some cities?), I think I would also feel compelled to move to another aisle or leaving outright if I saw someone carrying.

A decrease in traffic could have that effect of changing their policy, but their higher prices alone could lead to less store traffic, especially nowadays. Unless there are no other options or convenience.
