What is 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...

Publix - what is it?
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"
What does "Publix" mean?
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.
Publix - what does it mean?
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.
Publix - meaning
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.
Sweety! I'm going shopping at Publix and I'll be back soon!
Publix - definition
Where shopping is a pleasure, but working is a freaking nightmare.
Dawg, don't ever work at Publix, it's your worst nightmare.
Publix - slang
A supermarket who's unwavering policy is to spoil and pamper every last customer into thinking they are always right, at the expense of their associates. They claim to go to any lengths to protect their associates, but in reality, will scoff and tell them the customer is always right. They labor under the delusion that their employees live to pay freeway tolls, judging from the 25-cent raises they award their most submissive slaves every six months. I don't recommend working there unless you enjoy having customers complain about your five-o-clock shadow, then having to quickly invent a story about why you didn't shave that morning to tell your manager, after which you will be written up. The managers excel at making others feel miserable. Their most common activity is sitting in their air-conditioned office, counting the store's total profits for the week and watching the entire store on the security cameras, laughing manically the whole time. Meanwhile, you are standing at a cash register listening to some asshole yell about how he couldn't find a product we don't carry, followed by an old lady who insists that the 99-cents-off coupon means the product actually costs 99 cents, followed by a homeless dude who reeks of body odor and gives you a handful of dimes, nickels and pennies to pay for his loaf of bread, leaving you to count out the correct amount while he helps himself to the complementary coffee. Five minutes later, some prick raises an uproar over the fact that there is no coffee left, prompting the managers to award him a free pack of coffee in the hopes that this will inspire him to return. Oh yeah, they don't even give discounts to their employees. Fuck Publix, I sincerely hope they go bankrupt.
Don't work for Publix, they will force you to sacrifice your dignity!
Publix
Where shopping is a pleasure... but working is an utter hell.
At Publix, we make sure that our associates will give up everything short of their lives to make life for a single customer a better one.
Publix
n. (PUH-blicks) An American grocery store chain focused on exemplary customer service and associate ownership. Originally founded in Florida by George Jenkins on the key concept that any act of kindness short of allowing oneself to be anally raped is a model of customer service and is the key to success. Similar to another Florida establishment, Disney World, the customers must always retain their pretentiousness and be falsely immersed in a "fantasy land" where everyone smiles and nobody has ever experienced pain in their lives. Failure to retain the "fantasy land" atmosphere results in immediate termination of the associate's employment, thereby disregarding the toil and effort placed into the company, and forcing said employee to begin anew with time and money wasted on a Ponzi-like stock plan. Publix is responsible for the coddling of the American public, as higher-than-standard expectations are maintained at all times, and the customers are always served beyond expectations. It is grounded in the cornerstone philosophy that the smile of one greedy, witless customer is worth more value than all of the lives of all the associates within the store.
John went to the local Publix to get a full refund on an empty rotisserie bag from two weeks ago because Publix policy states that they cannot refuse it. Now, James in the deli department will lose his job.
Publix
A Supermarket. In reality, a place where lazy, greedy, and incompetent management work off the backs of brow-beaten, overworked, and underpaid associates who are just trying to get through college.
While you're out in the hot sun grabbing carts while trying not to be killed by pampered customers driving luxury cars, your many managers will be found in their air-conditioned back offices talking to other managers about their weekend at the country club, dreaming about how much money will be in their bi-annual/quarterly dividend checks, or pondering whether their six-figure income for this year will be larger than the last.
Fuck Publix.
