Rehire Pay Negotiation

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.

Probably an odd question but what do you think is the best color scheme for a publix building?

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.

half price a single bogo item in florida?

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?

Brochures in vestibule

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.

How do yall like the new elevator music they play now? The music changed since we got back from Thanksgiving. And they play a Christmas song after every 3 crappy songs.

$10 for two 8-ounce blocks of Sargento mozzarella

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.

Store to Warehouse

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?

Who greenlit these Christmas songs?

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.

Self checkout wants as a cashier

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

Will I get in trouble for this?

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

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
