I’m so confused. I worked at publix for about 2 months and due to health reasons I needed to quit. I gave them 2 work weeks notice. I completed the 2 work weeks then they said oh no 14 days…I told them I’m not coming in the 2 days. I said if not for health reasons I would have. Then they said well you need to come in and sign a paper. I’ve worked several jobs and never did I have to sign anything when I quit??? Why is it that I’m quitting for health reasons they’re saying now to come in to sign something. They won’t even say what I’m supposed to sign.
Can someone explain to me is this normal? Why can’t they just email? I have a hard time sticking up for myself and I know I should tell them to email it but I feel bad also that they had me scheduled for 2 more days and I said no. I’m not doing well at all- in and out of hospital like wtf.
Recently got hired as a PT grocery clerk (This is my first job), and during my computer training in store my grocery manager asked when I was able to start working. I said the following Monday, so then I got scheduled for an 8 hour shift that Monday. When I got there the grocery manager wasn’t there, and my team leader was on vacation. so I went to the customer service desk and asked about anyone else available to train me. and got led to the back and a different (I assume) manager wasn’t aware of any training or whatever, and just put me with someone to basically just follow around all day. then that guy left like two hours later, and I just kinda took turns following people around (and working with them like stocking shelves and blocking) for the rest of the day (everyone was chill and nice). I will say I think I know how to do my job fine. I was kind of assuming that there would be like, any plan at all for my training. I don’t really feel like I need much more training, but in my interview my grocery manager was saying if I got hired the training process is really long, so I’m not sure if I should ask to be trained again next time I come in or not. is this the normal experience for training? Should I ask to be trained again next time I come in?
former bagger here. i’ve noticed that the premade sandwhiches are using a different bread and less ingredients now. i thought the was due to the hurricanes because it was like right after they started using the new bread i thought it was just due to demand, but it looks like they’re here to stay. anybody know what’s going on with em?
I was with Publix for two years. I was a couple months shy of three years. I am still receiving dividends. Am I able to pull my stock? Sorry if the answer is obvious, I was never fully told how all of that works.
Edit: Got it figured out. Thanks for everyone’s help
When scanning out damages, it's so much more efficient to listen for the beep, rather than checking the screen after every item.
The two buttons on the top right never do anything, even though I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be the volume buttons...
Anyone else having issues getting into Passport right now? Keep getting error messages

At my store we had to read and sign the dress code yesterday. Normally when we sign stuff it is on one paper with everyone signing. But this time they had a separate copy for each person. Did your store do this too?
Boss said this is the first year he's seen this and I can't recall seeing it previously either.
Just to be clear I'm not complaining, I understand there are rules for certain things. I'm just curious that's why I just want to exist because all the other meat can be left in the case overnight but just not this particular type?
Finally after 5 years I no longer work at Publix and pursuing my career! I’m extremely proud to have made it through.
The new Publix Pro update as of right now, is a functional downgrade. Item information is bow blobs of black text with hardly any discernible distinguishing fonts, it’s noticeably slower, ever changing glitches every time you log in, etc.
I don’t know if the RANT flare is correct, but here we go…
Earlier today, at about 8:30 or 8:45, a customer went to an associate the next checkout lane over from mine and asked if her lane was open. She said it wasn’t, so he came over to the one I was at. While I bagged his groceries, he asked my cashier what the other associate’s name was and what she was doing here. All three of us felt creeped out by the whole thing.
After I bagged his groceries and he left, he waited in his vehicle for about ten minutes before leaving. While he was waiting, I reported the whole thing to the highest authority person I could find (all managers had already left), with both of the aforementioned associates as witnesses. I personally did not trust that he had actually left, as he could’ve been waiting behind the pharmacy, and so I walked with the associate he asked about to her car. I waited until after her car left before going back inside.
The customer was an older black man with a stubble beard wearing a dark blue shirt, and his truck was a grey Ford. If I need to provide the store number and any names, I will. Unfortunately, I did not receive the customer’s name.
Ayyye...
Would publix do an "election day" cake? Like for a election day tailgate party?
Asking for a friend ...lol
I tried applying online before but did not even get a call. How was your experience in successfully getting hired in Publix?
When is Olive Loaf coming back to the deli? Is this Boars Head issue? If so, why would Publix stick with such a disgusting purveyor? They’ve had to bulldoze their factories because they were too filthy to clean.
Just got “promoted” to full time. I don’t think I’ve ever worked a job where they treated full time like a promotion. Been here for about a month so I’m not complaining but damn they made it seem like I’m moving up to management 😂
A lesbian or bi? Women came in today and started off telling me how her girlfriend got her addicted to Publix breakfast bread. I said that’s awesome I always wanted to try it.
She then says the price has nearly doubled from when I first started getting it. I said yeah I know right Publix prices keep going up. She then said yeah the economy is ruined and said how the price of some pants rose up. I said yeah but corporation profits are reaching all time highs.
Then she said who’s business and tells me about how her eBay business and how she is voting for trump and thinks I should do the same because he is a business man who will whip this country into shape. Then she said some other shit and left saying you should really get that bread tho.
Hey pub fam! I’m not sure if anyone would have an answer for me, but I’m curious how I should go about this situation.
My boyfriend and I currently live in West Central FL and want to move towards GA/NC/AL sometime in the future.. me being an assistant I already know it will be a challenge to transfer as an assistant and not have to step down, but was curious if it would be easier to narrow down a city/place to live and then reach out to stores nearby/the DM of the area OR go through my DM and then other DMs in the state we choose and have them confirm a store and then go house/apartment hunting. Has anyone here moved states as an assistant?
Hi all, wife is a publix pharmacist. She started working for publix this september. She also happens to be pregnant with the baby due in February.
She hasnt been full time for a year so no maternity leave. Once she is able to enroll for benefits in december, short term disability probably doesn't help at all because the pregnancy will be considered pre-existing.
Is 12 weeks of unpaid FMLA leave the only thing that she will be eligible for?
Up $1.59 to $18.05.
Massive gain. Eager to see the 10-q tomorrow.

I’m 21 currently a senior in college graduating in 2025 May. Currently thinking whether i should pursue a career in publix or stick to my field of study. My parents are really against me pursuing a career at publix as they paid for all my tuitions and want me to work in the tech field with my degree. I’ve had a few internships in my field and as much as I like it, i feel like I enjoy myself working more at publix as a GRS. My GM asked me a couple of times to ROI for GTL but i never did to focus on school. I have a job lined up next year as a junior data analyst which pays around $60k a year much more than a GTL i think. People that are GTL here do you guys enjoy the job or would rather take the tech job. Any tips are appreciated.
I asked for a full day off with PTO. My manager approved it immediately as I was asking him how it worked and what I should put. We specifically put in “full day” when requesting for the day off. I talked to the ASM today but even they had know clue how the PT PTO works but said they’d research and get back to me Saturday. Can I call someone about this?
I'm doing the annual "Always Think Safety" CBT... it says not to leave strange substances unattended, or touch them. Good so far! Some drugs can mess you up. I get that.
But then it mentioned Anthrax. Are we just dropping diseases in a grocery store now? Is this a resurrected trend? I know it was a threat ages ago in postal service, but has Publix experienced biohazard warfare like this?? Lol, but also concerned
So I’m new to the company it’s been a little over 30 days and I have shared to one of my managers that I cannot do the chip isle. One because of my height but two because of my autism I am very sensitive to sounds and so hearing the squeaking of all those bags and the fact they all feel different and the feeling of the chips inside the bags and the constant tipping over it’s too much. I asked who do I go to for workplace accommodations and she said “we don’t have someone for that you just tell us and we discuss it” well that didn’t seem to work because every shift after that conversation guess what I was in? Mf chips. So idk if I need to just walk into my work place and just shove my paper work in their face or if I need to reach out to my disability advocates and have them write something out saying hey these are the accommodations she needs and have that be spread to all the managers idk but I just wish there was an HR or something that could handle this and have it on my file that I am a disabled employee who needs to not do the chip isle. Like give me the isles you need me to get done in a shift but just don’t give me that one! That or let me wear my noise canceling headphones but I doubt they would do that so-
Oasis be so fucking fr 😒
