Is it worth attempting to negotiate with my former manager (or a ex-manager that got moved to a different store) about the starting pay when trying to get rehired? How much should I try to negotiate up to? Both managers like me. I got started out with bagger pay and never got moved up to Cashier. I gave the meat department a try too while still on bagger pay, but months later with lots of hours in meat, I quit immediately with a resignation form. HR says I'm eligible for rehire.
Do the bakery shirts come in XS ? I got a small but that thang is long af on me
And I don't mean the go-to green I mean every other color on the inside of the building.
I've seen about three different types:
White and green
White, gray, and green
And brown, gray, and green.
Personally I like the third one, it's easier on the eyes.
alright so something that i’ve been told since i was a cashier is that in florida specifically, if there’s only one left on the shelf of a product that is bogo, we can’t give it to the customer for half off. this is a policy that i’ve given to many people and one that i’ve heard being gave several, several times as well. today i was being borrowed to a store not far from mine and a customer had one pack of bogo cookies and wanted them half off. i told her that in florida we don’t do that and she started getting very upset saying that the xyz publix down the road always does it for her and that it must be a new thing specific to the store i was at. i told her no, we’ve always done that. anyway i ended up just giving her a rain check but she was very insistent that other stores in florida do this for her. does it really just depend on the store or what?
Hey everyone I posted a couple days ago about having an interview for tomorrow. And I want to work in the grocery department I just wanted to know is there anything I should do or say in my interview that will help me secure the job if anyone could help possibly?
im a 16 year old minor and i was supposed to clock out at 10pm last night but i walked out and didnt remember till rn (5pm) am i gonna get in trouble?
At my store there are brochures in the vestibule. Things like "Getting Ready for a Hurricane" and "Safety While Shopping" and "Cakes" and more. I never, ever see anyone take a brochure or even look at them. Why do we bother to have brochures on the store? Seems like a waste of paper.
Not trying to flame Publix here but two serious questions: Do people really pay that much? And how is this kind of pricing sustainable for Publix?
Maybe I'm cheap but I really recoil at paying that much more than Walmart or Target.
my head gets cold and i’m wondering if I can wear publix beanies during my shifts or just in the back while unloading trucks.
As a deli clerk, am I obligated to inform my managers if I apply to the warehouse? Or is it possible for me to let them know only after I have an interview or a job offer?
Are we allowed to wear a plain black turtleneck long sleeve shirts under our uniform?
On the new autowrapper I'm getting the message "Infeed is drawn" does anybody know how to fix it?
Been confused on when and why our LV window changed. Was there a specific reason?
Most of these Christmas songs are terrible. One of them is overloaded with gibberish throughout the song. You don't understand what they're even saying.
I cannot even imagine being in the studio ad producer and saying yep that it right there! People gonna love this next big hit.
Let us do manual gift card entries, once the phone number is in don’t ask again on the pinpad because it freezes the machine, don’t allow healthy benefits cards on the machine because it usually leaves a balance and so many people that use it don’t wanna finish up paying with their cards. This one is difficult to explain for people that don’t run sco but if the ebt card doesn’t have the full amount to pay for the eligible food it doesn’t work. It works and splits the payment if some of the stuff isn’t eligible but not if it isn’t eligible. Let them pay the difference please. A lot of clientele is an elderly, and a lot of this will streamline the process on self checkout.
I do agree no cash though the machines would be in the morgue every week and would be used as an ATM
So I started working at Publix for about four weeks now I believe and a few days ago I was tasked to deal with damage items for the first time and I think one of the customer service staff was telling me to put them in the damaged bins where the dumpster is and I guess I may have misheard her and thought that I was supposed to throw all the damage items on the dumpster so that’s what I ended up doing. It wasn’t Untill today that I was tasked to deal with damaged items again that another customer service staff told me exactly how I was supposed to do it with putting the damaged items into the right bins and that’s when it hit my dumbass that I pretty much messed up the first time and now I’m wondering if I’m gonna face any repercussions because of it
Deli peeps! Would Publix sell me a bag (or box or whatever yall get it in) of the spicy popcorn chicken? I literally cannot stop eating it.
Currently a contender pondering to myself what makes a great meat manager? And how could someone new achieve something like that? looking for serious advice (don’t tell me to find another job).
Fuck you warehouse
Standing at my line and say hello to a customer and he doesn’t respond. 😭 Then he just goes for me, full speed, doesn’t move aside I don’t have time to react I just scrunch up and go “AH! HELLO?!” 😭😭😭😭
Hello? Why?! Why?! Is it because I’m short 😭😭😭😭😭
Edit: GUYS HELP I THINK HE WAS MY UBER DRIVER WHEN I GOT OFF.
With the exception of fresh foods and frozen foods why is almost everything Publix sells made in china
Omg, everyone go on to passport and check your schedule because passport is up. Before it stops working agian.
I'm am NOT looking forward to this week. I have to work 6 days in a row. I've done it before but it still sucks. With a reset this week :(
Watching this near the end made me realize that's a Publix cake someone bought because of the goofy Halloween design they made us do. I don't know which store this guy got it from, but good job y'all, I'm wheezing XD
Both were empty, lemon flavored red bull sounds nasty 😭
