I dont think this is a race issue, its pretty common practice to follow unsupervised teenagers when they walk into grocery/department stores for a bunch of different reasons. Its gotten even more common now in grocery because of kids doing the milk throwing thing.
Obviously because the kids are black people will throw a fit, but managers at these places follow pretty much all teenagers when they are not with a parent. This becomes even more true if there are more then one, and if they are carrying things like backpacks.
Publix is now located in Florida, Georgia, Tennesee, South Carolina, Alabama, and they are starting expansion into North Caroline next year. Lp related following is very common at Publix.

Publix is a grocery store chain - I know they operate in Florida, dunno how far widespread they are though.
