Partyial Day offs

Ok so I submitted the partial days off for holiday reasons/.

Previously when I did them (Last year), the days I wanted to work partially were done incorrectly it seemed. I wanted from opening til 5:00 PM to work. Well I guess I entered it wrong and made it where I WORK from 5 PM to close instead.

Looking at the new oasis and system for requesting partial it looks cleaner and easier to understand BUT I want to ask.. The Partial has Time to start and when you want to not work. i'll screen cap it to see if I entering it correctly.

(I.e, I want to work from open to 5 PM) So is this correct? I don't wanna get screwed over again. The old way was weirdly done and i'm glad they updated it if this is correct. (EDIT - Ignore the 5:26, I was doing this post in haste and forgot to change it to 5 PM)

Publix Radio…Bro what?

Is it me or does anyone else notice that the songs that play at Publix always cut off like 5 seconds before the song is actually supposed to end? What’s the point in this? We ain’t got enough money for the full song?

Also I just found out that different Publix stores have different radio stations?!? I thought we were all on the same station playing the same songs in every store.

Egg salad excursions

I have gone to five different Publix’s around me today, and on other separate occasions over the course of the last two months. And no one has the damn Publix egg salad.

Helllooooo? I’m dying without it. Where is it!?

Meatball sandwich question....

So my local Publix can only make a meatball sandwich, if the meatballs are available on the display right across from the deli section.

It's the area that has the pre made grab and go stuff. When they do have meatballs there in a clear plastic clamshell type of box, as a customer you have to give it to the employee worker that makes the sandwich.

Is this at every Publix?

I don't mind doing it, but 75% of the time they don't have the meatballs, so no meatball sandwich.

So I found this old Publix training video on YT….

So, I always come up with random training videos from the 80’s, with chain restaurants and businesses, and I happen to find one of Publix. It seems interesting even as someone who currently works at Publix working in customer service. Idk how many times I viewed this video, but I know it’s infinite 😂

Have you seen this video before? What do you think of it compared to today’s training videos/readings??

What is up with things that are “not allowed” but are still around

Like the small brown bags, it turns out your not supposed to use them but we have them anyways, and bagging on express, if we’re not supposed to do that, why do we even have the bagging tools over there in the first place if someone could explain that would be great

Word on the street is that Walmart is seeking to acquire Publix.

Definitely not verified sources but coming from lawyers, realtors etc. They are claiming Walmart is looking to increase their “grocery” presence. Would make sense for all the Greenwise/smaller footprints. If any employees have insight would love to hear their thoughts.

Female accuses man of "being a threat"

Tl:DR:

A former Publix employee describes being called into a small office by a manager who then accused them of being “a threat,” despite the employee’s calm demeanor and attempts to de-escalate the conversation. The employee, a veteran with de-escalation training, left the meeting feeling distressed, especially as they were recovering from a back injury. Days later, they received a letter stating they were fired for “violence,” which they believe is a false and damaging accusation.

thanks /u/SolidonamissonFSC for not only knowing how to do this. (i don't). and also posting it.

I don't understand how to format this. it keeps coming out as a wall of text.

I'll keep the AI up. but honestly. I can't believe the number of people who are simply calling me either crazy or on drugs.

again. I can't get this damn thing to format correctly so people are not following it correctly.

I only posted a rough draft to claim my mind. it's a therapy technic to remove anxiety.

for those who are saying I have mental problems. You do understand in the post several times though I talked about my PTSD/Shellshock. even mentioned writing often as a way to claim things down.

this post was a rough draft wrote. been doing formatting on the files I keep for myself guys.

I'm surprised to see so much hate come from /r/publix

Thanks for the context though. damn. humanity.

How to find job openings at other stores/how to transfer stores AND depts?

I've been in deli for 1 1/2yrs and want to transfer to bakery but was told no even though the managers are doing the mixing and don't have a mixer. SM said they have their allotment of workers so can't hire another mixer and need to restructure their work crew to meet that need. He said if I wanted bakery I'd probably have to transfer stores.

How do I transfer stores AND departments? How do I even know if there's an availability in a nearby store? Are both transfers, store and dept at the same time, done online?

Hot honey tenders HACK

If you love Publix chicken tenders, but hate paying for the pool of syrup in the bottom of the bag…. Use this simple trick to save a few bucks

My approach is buying plain tenders, then asking for a side of hot honey from the hot deli person.

You’d end up with hot honey tenders, a 4oz styrofoam container of hot honey sauce

Publix email

Is there a way to get my Publix emails into my phone email? I submitted swap requests and now the system seems to be down so I can't tell whether anyone accepted my request or not. Besides logging in and checking it, is there another way to get the notification emails?

Need help finding a song that plays in the early am!!!

This is so random lmao but I've been going nuts trying to figure out this one song that maybe once every couple of weeks plays early in the morning at my store, before opening and always only once. I'm always in the middle of something and forget to Shazam it when I hear it... all I've ever really been able to catch is part of the chorus- "you are such a golden boy, poster child and [???], so perfect that it's hard to get annoyed, golden boy oooo oooo oooo"

I've tried Googling the lyrics, singing it into Google assistant/Shazam, nothing ever pops up. I know I'm not hallucinating this song lmao please help!!!!!!!

Expectations for a Front Service Clerk Cross Trained as a Cashier

So I was hired as a Front Service Clerk four almost five months ago Trained for cashiering in my Third Month. After Helene and Milton and Working OT both Hurricanes I started asking about a job class change my CSM told me yes before the end of October and now I’ve Been told By the ASM and SM after the new year. Now I’m Mega Annoyed about this Because I’m expected to Just Jump on Register anytime I’m working and there’s a need and I’m Scheduled for Register for half a shift and cleaning the other half sometimes. To Be Honest I kinda tell my bosses that I don’t want to be a cashier at this point. Simply because I’m doing all this Extra and not Being paid for it. How do I handle this without losing my Shit or my Job cause I’m on the verge of losing both. Side note I’ve worked 677 hours in almost 5 months. Any Advice is appreciated

I never get the sub cards. Anyone else not get them for busting ass?

Not that I care about a shitty sub coupon but it's just the thought that matters. The last one I got was summer 2019. We had our overnight remodel. We have a big crew that would come in, total slobs btw did horrible job and spoke no English. They eat before work adn around 8pm all go to the shitters. Anyway I guess one couldn't hold it in since the stalls were full and took a cow sized shit in front of one of the occupied stalls. I mean it was the size of something you'd see in a field! Then inside the stall the shit on the seat some and left used TP next to the toilet. Took at least 30 mins to cleanup. My CSM saw I was pissed, cussing, most would have walked out and went home but he apolgized big time and was shocked I did it and gave me a sub card. Since then I never get cards are thank yous. I'm like North FL Redneck usually doing the grunt work since no one else can do quality work they always want me doing the cleaning and other shit. Despite good attendance, role model, and working 6 days a week coming in when they call me too. GEts me they were cutting hours when I asked for more one week, then they call me begging me to cover call offs lol. But some people get tons of cards and are even given OT and asked to do OT.

When I worked produce in high school years ago totally different. Our ASM, managers would hand those tokens out you could exchange and purchase products with. I mean hardly ever had to pay for a meal or anything at work. Do your work, got tokens. They were the size ok poker chips. Then on top of that had bonuses too even part time high school 10 houts a week and dollar hour more on Sundays. Turnover was also a lot lower then too.

As I said, I could give two shits about the cheap ass sub cards, it's just the thought. Is it better to just work your wage at this point?
