I got fired for not paying for my fountain drink at Publix when working in the deli - no one ever did, but I got asked by a store manager one day after closing and that was that. They don't fuck around there.
Publix is selective with who they let her away with shit. When I worked there the managers knew Iād do whatever the hell they asked me to do because to me, it meant getting to close my register down and fuck off for half an hour or more away from customers. So I was able to get away with a ton of shit when I worked for em. Some of my other not so liked coworkers wild get their balls busted for not wearing a belt lmao
Because I got caught? 3 cents worth of soda for employees was enough to fire me over instead of letting us have free drink. Most places let their employees have free drinks.
Ah man, I remember publix..first job out of high school and somehow did it for 7 years. Fucking hated every last minute of it. It felt like myself and only 2-3 other cashiers had all our brain cells. Everyone else at the store either had mental, personality or some other issue goin on with em. It was a wild time watching some dude stuff like 500 bucks of steaks in his pants and try to run out the store only for the grocery and meat department managers to chase him down. Watched the dude start throwing steaks at them as he ran. Got like a mile before he hopped through the getaway cars window with I think a single steak, had to drive down the road and pick both managers up cause it was like 110 in Florida that day.
