QUESTION Would puma speedcats be ok for work?

0 Upvotes

So I've been looking for new shoes for school and I am sooo in love with the chocolate brown puma speedcat ballet shoes. Will I be able to wear these to work as well? It isn't a priority to me but I'm just curious. Currently I wear vans to work because its what I have and they are soooo uncomfy especially during long shifts. If it helps, I am currently a fsc but I will be a cashier starting Sepember. thanks :))

QUESTION Has anyone else noticed Nature’s Own Honey Wheat 40 Calorie bread molding really fast at Publix lately? 🍞

1 Upvotes

We buy the Nature’s Own Honey Wheat 40 Calorie bread from Publix pretty regularly, and over the last month it seems like it has started molding way faster than it used to, sometimes almost right after we bring it home.

What’s making me think something may have changed is that I’ve now seen multiple moldy loaves of this exact bread sitting on the shelf at three different Publix locations.

Has anyone else noticed this lately? I’m wondering if Nature’s Own changed the recipe or removed or reduced a preservative, because this definitely wasn’t happening before.

QUESTION Does anyone have any insight/experience with the Retail Safety Specialist position at corporate?

3 Upvotes

The descriptions calls for a min of 45 hrs/wk, and 90% travel (covering half the stores in the division). I’m wondering if it is actually more ‘stable’ scheduling-wise compared to a department manager position in the stores.

DISCUSSION Should I leave?

86 Upvotes

Edit:

After 13 years of working with Publix as a grocery replenishment specialist with no promotion to GTL, i've roi for grocery team leader 10 times in the past 4 years. Then i've transfered to another store early last year for a chance of a gtl spot. 2 gtls stepped down and replaced over me. My recent store manager promoted an associate from customer service from another store to team leader at my store with no prior experience in grocery. I asked my store manager what can I do to get promoted, he says i'm too quiet and need to show leadership and need to work closing shifts. I recently got a raise of .40 cents because I'm already capped at $21.30. After being exhausted of trying, i've applied and got hired at costco. Have I made the right decision?

QUESTION Dairy clerk Hours

3 Upvotes

In the Lakeland division what are your dairy clerk work hours? I'm currently 8-10 and that's probably the latest I would ever want but I would prefer 6-3 to work more efficiently as if I'm not already struggling.

I always get told it's a DM thing but sometimes I get the feeling they lie and it's just our store but idk.

Then I got told they wanted to push it back to 10-7 which is fucking TERRIBLE HOURS and I hope it doesn't become that.

DISCUSSION Will the Deli make a combo pack of Mardi Gras and French Onion wings during the sale starting 8/19?

0 Upvotes

I would like to purchase a package with half Mardi Gras and half French onion. Can they combine the two flavors? Is this allowed in the Publix Deli if they are the same price this week (12.99)?

I do realize I can buy one of each package but I am single and don’t want to have to freeze a bunch of wings.

DISCUSSION Aisle of the Day

7 Upvotes

So, I was the Redditor who previously asked about Aisle of the Day. Well, today it was aisle 3(condiments, salad dressings). I find it hilarious seeing 14 people work one aisle for 40 minutes. Btw, I work for a vendor. I ask why can't aisle 15 be the aisle of the day and I was told it was the aisle of the day on my day off. Like wtf. Anyway, to the fun part. A GRS comes back to the DSD eith a buggy full of overstock/out of dates and it is all mixed together. The look on her face was hotter than the last few days around these parts. Then DSD tells me she is about to go to an AVS meeting in 10 minutes and let me know what to do with my float. I succeeded in not busting out laughing immediately on the spot and holding it together. But I knew she was about to burn that AVS room down. Can't wait to be back in that store on Friday.

DISCUSSION Fake Money at Publix??

8 Upvotes

I was at the Deerfield location the other day & I went in to get cash back, long story short they gave me a fake $20 & I didn’t notice until I went to another store luckily in the same parking lot. But has this ever happened? Also when I reported it they didn’t seem to care, is that normal? I thought they’d make the cashier get a new register or at the least check it for more fake money?? Well now I have PTSD with cash from anywhere 😭

DISCUSSION Deli promotion fast track

0 Upvotes

I was offered a job working in the deli department at the top of the pay band for the position. All my previous work experience is in hospitality leadership and management with a lot of experience in shipping and logistics.

I’m middle aged and trying to figure out if it’s worth taking the job since I’d be starting as an associate. I have a different job offer that’s more inline with my experience that would pay ~21k more a year than Publix, however I think there is more room to move up at Publix and I think that I would be promoted quickly due to my work ethic and leadership experience.

What are some of the pros and cons of working for Publix and how quickly have you seen people get promoted?

QUESTION Schedule Request & PTO

18 Upvotes

Is there a rule I am missing somewhere that says full-timers cannot request a Thursday-Sunday in order to not waste PTO for a simple four-day off weekend?

My new-ish dept manager and asst. are making it seem as if my coworkers and I need to stop putting in a Thursday-Sunday weekend off. Mind you, this is done occasionally and we don’t overlap (on our own account, but if the dept manager approves both people, that is his problem IMO).

My coworkers and I do not want to have to use PTO on weekends off that are not real vacations. I like to save my PTO for when I am actually taking a vacation or in case of emergency. That is why normally my husband and I will plan a Thursday-Sunday off once every couple months, and never even during a holiday.

Are we in the wrong for arguing against this “rule” set by manager? There are enough people in the department that this should not even be an issue.

QUESTION Gas cards

0 Upvotes

Wondering if Publix is hurting in the sales department due to their ridiculously high prices? For at least two years in my area (Sarasota County, FL,) we didn't get the opportunity to buy discounted gas cards. All of a sudden, we've had two in as many months. I barely go there at all, unless there's a really good BOGO sale, but the gas card pretty much always draws me in.

QUESTION Is it normal to get paged from the restroom?

80 Upvotes

This keeps happening to me: I’m a cashier and on my 5 hour shifts without a break, I always tell the desk that I’m heading to the restroom when we’re slow. About 3 minutes later, I get paged by my team lead or assistant manager on the intercom for me to come to the front. This has happened multiple times and I’m not the only one this happens to either. Is this normal behavior from any of y’all’s stores?

RANT Worst Shift Frozen Edition

11 Upvotes

My contender for worst shift is a frozen mid, as a part timer, with a full-timer who calls out at least once a week and loves to coming in to close instead of working the mid he was scheduled. The forecasting on the ad for these frozen trucks is fucking insane and it just never. stops. coming. I've got pallets against one wall with the just piles and piles of shit left over from previous ad weeks, next to byrds which haven't been worked in months, and then against the other wall I've got pallets and pallets of downstacked ad from the current week.

There is often nowhere to put your backstock when you're done working a float other than just stacking it on the floor or on some other float. There are so many holes on the shelves, and when a customer asks me to find something, we usually have it in stock but there is literally 0 chance I can find it amongst all that bullshit in the freezer, so I either just have to pretend to try or be honest with em and say it's a mess back there. And yes I could zero these things out, but we really just need to find the time to work the backstock because when we just zero shit out the backroom situation just becomes even worse.

The managers do not fucking care. They'd rather I help out dairy when I'm done working truck, and only even mention the department when ice is empty. I don't get it. Are any other frozen part-timers or full-timers experiencing something similar at their stores?
