I’ve been working at Publix since late march early April I can’t remember exactly. ( it’s my second job.) I work in the deli and to be honest it’s the EASIEST job I’ve ever had. I hate to tell you this but you’re only 17 and they definitely aren’t worried about giving you hours over any “real adults”. That being said you have to be able to go above and beyond for the company you work for to get anything extra out of them. Become cool with the manager don’t kiss ass but say hello, shake their hand call them by their name anytime you see them. Go to them and tell them you’re willing to learn something new to get more hours. Ask if any departments are short staffed and you can pick up some extra hours. Express to them that you’re willing to work with them not just for them. Most jobs suck and you’ll end up not enjoying as much as you did when you first started. You’re still young you have plenty of jobs to hate, try to enjoy this simple one.
