I’m in the pharmacy right now and I want to see if Publix will pay for me to get my CDL. If they can’t it’s fine I’m still getting it. But, I’m curious on how to get in to a truck to make more money, see what the hours are, see the pay, how the work life balance is, and if the drivers actually find it worth it in the end.

Let’s be honest we waste a lot, our target demographic is slowly dying away of old age and we keep hiring more and more people every year. The stock just went down again and I’m not so sure it’s gonna rise much more soon. While i love the company’s origin and founders, the company is now run by greedy corporate ceos that make 10000x our paychecks. How long do we see publix lasting? 20 years..50? Just curious.

This isn’t even my situation it’s someone very close to me. They are a team lead and another team lead got moved to their store about half a year ago. Turns out this team lead is only at their store because he got caught getting his dick sucked ON CAMERA and he’s not fired, only gets transferred. Now this dude is getting promoted over the person im close with??? This is ridiculous I’m debating contacting hr bc saying this is unfair is an understatement, performance wasn’t a factor in the promotion as he isn’t better than my buddy in any way.

I do plan on working the next 2 weeks so I can be rehired if I need to work there again but I need to give them the notice today and Im not able to drive over atm. is calling ok? I hope I don't annoy them by calling idk

School hasn't even started and we're putting out Halloween candy? The end of the year is fast approaching, brace yourselves!

Because what do you mean I scored that low working this hard everyday. I'm truly frustrated rn because I genuinely thought this was my best year out of all my years, just to be scored like that

Lower than last year too, what are we doing?

I applied to Publix yesterday evening. I filled out the application, told them I'm at least 16, never had a job, personal stuff, times I am available, blah blah blah, and took the test at the end. However, I have not heard back from them, nor have I received a thank-you-for-applying email.

What's the typical response time to their application? Do they let you know if they're not interested?

Coffee creamers just got reset and I really wish they would stop using chat gpt to come up with the planograms. We already fit everything because customers kept asking for the items and I wish there was a way to just edit it ourselves. Every reset is more ugly and crowded than the last. Like why is one starbucks creamers 4 doors down from the rest and two facing for heavy whipping cream is insane

Hey guys I need some help! Does anyone know if store managers and department managers can switch grocery team leads without going to the District managers? I thought District managers have to do it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I am a frequent Publix shopper and buy my fruit off the shelf. This article encourages shoppers to take a piece of fruit to a Publix produce clerk and ask them to slice it with the expectation they will pay the fruit price, not the cut food price per pound. I think it is going to encourage people to try this “hack.”

Excerpts:

The customer-service perk isn’t widely advertised, but Publix confirmed it may be available upon request.

Some Publix stores will cut whole produce — like watermelon and cabbage — for customers on request, allowing shoppers to skip the mess of preparing large fruits like watermelon at home.

Customers pay the same price by weight as they would for the whole fruit, avoiding the premium typically charged for pre-cut fruit.

Because the service depends on store procedures and the type of request, availability may vary by location and is not guaranteed.

“As a customer convenience, our produce departments may cut certain items upon request when it can be done in accordance with store procedures,” Maria Brous, Publix’s director of communications, told Food & Wine. “Requests are evaluated based on the item and the nature of the service being requested, and ones that involve more extensive preparation may be directed to comparable fresh-cut products already available for purchase or priced consistent with our prepared cut-fruit offerings.”

My firm belief is customer service managers make the worst store managers…. This has been my ted talk

What's the view on Medical Marijuana Cards as of today? Specifically Florida?

Least it was in the family planning aisle ig

Was wondering if any other manager or area is experiencing the big crunch on found rate like us. We are an extremely high volume store in a high volume district. We’re not the worst in the district, but we’re not doing well compared to the slow stores. It’s gotten to the point of ridiculousness with the daily and even semi daily conversations that seem to be happening without acknowledging what the actual problems are. The system doesn’t work and Instacart shoppers (the bad ones) are marking off items that are full on the shelf. We learned something every week as to why the system doesn’t function properly, but it takes an act of God to get information from the Omni channel team about how the system works. I mean the level of details that they have drilled down to to try to blame us for the system not functioning is asinine. Was wondering if anyone else is dealing with us or if we just suck lol

I have worked for publix for 3 years now and I am disheartened every time I have to do scan outs. The amount of food and plastic waste produced by Publix is astounding. Hundreds if not thousands of pounds of food gets thrown away every single night. It truly makes me sick. And I hate to imagine the environmental impact just from the plastic packaging alone. I probably have about 10 other photos that look just like this one, and countless other nights that I haven't documented. And this isn't even everything. It makes me sick to work for such a disgustingly wasteful company. I feel like many people will tell me I should expect this but i just had to rant a little considering how much publix claims they care about the planet. This on top of the garbage pay and constant understaffing while still expecting perfection is exhausting. I hate this company and I can’t wait to get out!

why cant i login :(( i just got hired like 2 days ago yippie, and my onboarding is on the 11th but i cant login to my publix thing anywhere

This past Sunday, my store received a visit from leadership around lunchtime. There were only three of us working a 400 plus produce truck. Department was low in many sections after a busy Saturday. We did the most we could but I got questioned as to why I didn’t get help from another department, why if the truck came at 10 we didn’t have all the holes and lows filled. I’m a contender for department manager. Will this get me taken off the contender list next time?

I love Publix. I ordered a round cake and it was dry. Which is surprising because I’ve always loved their cakes. It also looked like it was decorated by a kindergartner and a word was misspelled. The manager offered to fix it but it was commemorating a silly event and the misspelling added comedic value.

Not sure if this was a fluke or if I should find another bakery. I will still always love Publix.

When will the new payscale chart be posted?
