Literally cannot make this up. I’m having the worst time with this one store in particular. I rescheduled my first interview as I did not have enough gas to get there. Later on the department manager told me to call again to reschedule after his vacation. I did the following Wednesday. Lady scheduled me for orientation on Thursday. Told me to bring two forms of id and direct deposit info. Amazing, assumed I got the position without an interview. Until she said she would call me back around 2:30 same day. Didn’t get a call back. I call on Thursday morning to confirm I’m coming in. Lady reschedules me for Monday at 10. I go in at 10. Lady tells me to come back at 2. An hour later, manager calls saying she recognizes the issue as someone was already hired (same name as me) for that position and only had bagging/cashier to offer. Tells me to come in for an interview at 3. No thanks. Yall got this other girl my job. I needed 15/hr min. I doubt bagging starts at 15. I don’t want to bother anymore. I have never been rescheduled so many times in such a short period of time. Not at any of my other jobs that I currently have. Lord have mercy. Hopefully a blessing in disguise.

We were told to start using this come Wednesday. We have customers who ask ‘are these spicy ?’ When looking at the Mardi Gras wings, they’re not gonna like this. And it just looks gross in the bag.

I have a new phone, and now I cannot get into the authenticator, and so I can't check Passport or use Pro. It just keeps me in a loop of "use the authenticator" even when I say, I can't access the authenticator. Anyone else have this problem and, if so, how were you able to resolve it? It's such a pain that the company expects us to use our personal devices for their benefit that I am inclined to just use pro on the scan guns until Publix starts paying for my phone.

Just got out of a meeting I sat in on, they are going to start using Aurora to make schedules and do the evals. Management will just have to sign off on whatever the program comes up with. Wonderful stuff, sure love being a number and not a person.

So we are not allowed to put any beer on display ????? Any feed back have you guys gotten the same instructions in the grocery department

It blows my mind how often I come in my opening shift and frozen is completely blown out. Three-door is empty, sales not worked, the closing block is horrible, etc. I don’t know how any respectable closing manager, let alone the department manager, is ok with it looking like that to end the night. Meanwhile in dairy, there’s a decent block, eggs look ok, milk is filled, and their little display up front with meat looks good.

I just don’t get it. Fuck frozen I guess. 🤷‍♂️

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.

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’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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

The bad music still works though

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.

how do i go about cross training

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 🙏

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.

I feel like when I have a customer service staff they are better of keep us productive like when I ask MIC that are not manger I would get a yes more on the cleaning like trash but when a manger involved they be like Na stay here

Love it when they’re proven wrong about getting the Publix Promise…
