A Grocery store that is the essence of hell and communism combined. You can be as rebellious as you want, but their evil forces make you put on "a happy face." Everything is strict, so avoid "the talk." The talk is when one of your 12 managers talks to you about productivity and customer service; they smile manically when they look at you.
No one that works there has high school degree except the Managers, so everyone there is either retired of a student. I have worked there for two years and I need a way out before I'm consumed completly. Poor poor Max. He was consumed and he can't stop Smiling.
The pay is good and they hire everyone; handicapped, mentally ill, retired folk and students. Some times they hand out yo-yo's and slinkys' that are red.Every four to six months your pay will go up or down 25 cents. But after a while, the will forget about you completely and focus more on the fresher meat for hire. You can start working soon by applying at the digital Resume machine next to the dry ice in the back of the store.

Publix is a Supermarket controlled by malicious, high school degree-bearing managers and their 8th grade graduate assistants. Focusing on customer service, sincere workmanship, and a happy fucking omnipresent smile , Publix is the epitome of the communist crown. While proclaiming to go to any lengths to protect their associates or assist a customer, managers smile deviantly behind their coke-bottle glasses, knowledgeable to the fact that they'll rake in the cash for a "deed" completed, while in actuality completing nothing.Periodically, a monstrous quarter raise is awarded to the prick with unwavering slavery and solitude to the institution. Thus, next time you walk into your local Publix,take satisfaction in your surroundings. Indulge yourself in the fact that you have entered an establishment where a high school degree reigns supreme to a four year degree;where a disabled individual with Turet's probably makes more than you, and where rabid managers exploit their associates and their dignity to thieve you of your very last penny.
I was at Publix last night buying Trojans, and the manager approached me and requested I take off my pants. I complied, and received a coupon for a blowjob from an autistic bagger.

A cult that uses a grocery store as a front for their evil deeds. This place is the literal definition of Hell. If a customer complains about you the managers will never listen to your side of the story and will walk all over you just to make the life of a single customer that much better. Seriously don't ever work here. It might be the last thing you ever do.
Cashier: Ma'am, I do apologize but this 10 cent off coupon expired five years ago.
Customer whose name is probably Karen: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I WANT TO TALK TO YOUR MANAGER THIS INSTANT!
The store manager walks over and listens to the customer screaming at the top of her lungs all over a coupon. He then forces the cashier to accept the coupon and sends him home for the rest of the day without pay. This actually happened. Publix is the worst.

A grocery store that is known for its high prices and over worked, brow beaten employees.
The only place in this free country where a 75 year old bagger with a severe limp is expected to walk a customer outside and unload their bags of groceries into their Lexus or Soccer mom van.
Where, if an irate, uncouth customer screams and yells loud enough, can get any item for free for no valid reason.

"I shopped at Publix yesterday, and saw a well-dressed woman belittle a 65 year old deli clerk in front of a manager. People are so rude"
"If you enjoy never having weekends off with your family, constantly being harrassed for not working fast enough, and enjoy being debased and exploited by obscene, cheap customers just trying to get something for free, then work for Publix"

I'm a 60 year old lesbian who has worked all my life. I have been a dishwasher and all the way to the General Manager at corporate restaurants. Five years ago I started working for Publix. In 6 months I was full time. There's a lot of competition at Publix but if you show you care and don't call off all the time, you can easily get full time as well as management.
I have received a raise every six months. Unless you are doing less than what work you agreed to, you get raises. So many people truly want money for nothing. Always calling off, going out for a smoke or texting on the clock. If they aren't getting raises, they are causing it.
In my store we have at least four associates worth 1-2 Millon dollars in Publix stock.
No matter where you work there will always be some issues, that's life. Personally this is the best place with the best benefits and without discrimination that I have ever worked.
There will always be negative people and those are the loudest voices...

Contrary to what a lot of people think, not really a bad place to work. You can always have fun with your coworkers and even some managers are pretty chill, even if they do get on your case about screwing something up.
It sure is hard as hell to move up though. Management seems to have an anti male sentiment. You'll only move up if you're a minority, a female or both.

A hot 19 year old puerto rican girl was hired at publix as a bagger, two weeks later she was a customer service manager
The 21 yr old white guy has been a bagger for two years and they STILL wont move him up even though he did better then the girl
