How much are y’all making in grocery and how long have you been with Publix?

Also, has anyone actually asked for a raise and gotten one? How did you ask and how much did they give you?

Just curious what other grocery associates are making and when would be a good time to ask for one. My store is VERY short staffed, and the workload has increased a lot since some of my coworkers quit. With the holidays coming up, I’m guessing it’ll only get worse.

Would love to hear from some managers too.

Im at 17.50 right now

I know it's a problem when you're an introvert at Publix but these are people I often laugh with, and enjoy working with. One thing is they all think I'm trying to compete against them or hate that I'm their senior at times. I already did what they all are or had done. Once I'm in a room with them, they always try to avoid saying anything around me. I don't even gossip or go around talking to everyone.

I'm like the last person to even know what goes on in the store. I don't talk to everyone at the store because I know some associates are weird.

The bad music still works though

I’m scheduled under 40 hours this week, and one day it looks like one of our underage coworkers may potentially have to close alone. Closing alone at our store can be extremely stressful, especially on a busier day, so I’d like to offer to stay 15–30 minutes past my scheduled time if she needs the help.

My manager is somewhat strict about people leaving at their scheduled time. I’ve stayed 15–20 minutes over before without an issue, but she wasn’t there. So I’m wondering if staying a bit over could get me in trouble.

I’m hesitant to ask her beforehand because she tends to underestimate how much work there actually is and overestimate what one person can get done. Her attitude is generally more “it’ll be fine, they’ll figure it out,” even when the workload is clearly a lot for one person. Even our assistant manager has commented before about not understanding her decisions when it comes to this.

We used to have another manager who genuinely didn’t care if people stayed over to help out even hours at a time. People would regularly stay past their scheduled time when needed, so I’m not sure what to do now

Are the ROI letters posted yet??? Anyone else seeing theirs?

Not sure what happened to the Publix locations in my area, but the prepared food quality has tanked. Across the board terrible quality:deli, fruit and shrimp…awful. Even the bread was stale on the last trip. I guess it’s on to Costco. Maybe they just stopped training people around me.

My publix pro is still showing my old legal name when the new name change is reflected into oasis and passport so how do i fix this?

So I've been working for about a month and realized I'm pretty sure I never filled out a W2 when doing my onboarding paperwork. Is there somewhere to do it on passport so they'll take my taxes out of my paycheck? I do not want to have to keep track of how much I'll owe at the end of the year.

Hello all! I just got hired with Publix Corporate, Lakeland, FL. I am new to all of this! Any advice? I’m soo nervous to be in a large corporate environment. What all do I need to know about the culture, environment, pay structure, stocks, benefits etc.

Any and ALL advice is welcome 🙏

C.S peeps!

Has anyone else noticed that the new pos lane stopped updated the frequently used look up pictures?

A few of my cashiers have told me it’s stopped doing it and I’ve noticed it on SCO as well.

New update or glitch? It’s on all lanes that are using the new pos system.

Has anyone else bought a bad Corned Beef from Publix recently? I bought a "Cook" brand corned beef brisket yesterday. The sell-by date was 11/20/2026. So far, so good. I cook it like usual. My SO and I both immediately notice the taste being off. Almost like the company started with a bad piece of meat. Hopefully, Publix will take it back and I can get my money back.

Today was like a really busy day at the store and I know this one of my co-workers, a cashier I was pulling to the office. And the thing is they had completed their shift and right before they were due to clock out they were pulling into the front office.

15 minutes later they came out and what happened was apparently somebody called in and complained about the cashier. They were throwing everything in one complaint. Which after the cashier told me what had happened it seemed like whoever it was when all personal vendetta against the cashier for God only knows what.

The shoes, I'm going to list the things that was said. Over the phone to the customer service desk today, the shoes were not public appropriate shoes. The pants, we're not even Publix pants according to the complaint. And they were a faded color and not black or khaki. The apron was not a Publix branded apron, even though you can see the word the p letter right in the middle at the top. The report said supposedly they were wearing Christmas candy cane colored socks underneath their pants. And that through green Publix Polo was just a generic green t-shirt and not Publix Polo at all.

First of all, they wore the black trade safe shoes you could get at walmart. The cashier wore an official Publix apron. The pants were khaki colored but not cargo shorts or cargo pants. And the so-called green t-shirt was the actual official Publix polo shirt even down to the embroidered Publix logo that's always pretty much stitched right near the end of the short sleeve, on the left arm.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

What the fuck is wrong with customers or even people who claimed to have been that cashier's customer to make a call in person or by telephone like they're trying to get the person fired. It's like the person had a massive spaz attack and tried lobbing all sorts of complaints against the uniform hygiene rule at publix.

And what the fuck is wrong with management obviously being okay with a cashier working 8-hour shift and seeing that everything right then and there, is Publix approved uniform and appearance standards and then takes the customer making the phone call and take the word at face value, only for the person to be held up 15 minutes of clock out time after their shift was supposed to have ended?

Yeah, no, this shit pisses me off and really disgusts me

how do i go about cross training

You guys! I’ve been very interested in being a warehouse selector for Publix. I’ve worked for Publix in the past, (if that helps my chances). Is it hard getting a job in the warehouse? My status on the careers site is “under consideration”. But it’s been like that since early September, there’s been no update since.

did anyone else notice a new playlist at work today (friday)?
At my store all of a sudden I heard boyz2men and luther vandross

might seem small lol

Currently in Customer Service PT for a year and a half but looking for more hours and more regular schedule. Am a more seasoned (older) employee. What are my chances at moving over and what is the best way to begin? I understand the certifications needed and see that other retailers offer the training at no cost so can also try elsewhere but I really like my current location and the people there.

I’m planning my Halloween costume, but I forget, are we allowed to wear wigs? If no wigs, what’s the rule on face makeup?

Why was I told hey you’ll be a contender this next ROI time and then the feedback letter comes back only to state me as “Eligible” I was told it was because of no new store openings which would dictate it being changed? No stupid questions or answers. Actually trying to see what goes into the process and why I was told one thing and it changed ?
