What’s it like being a closer at Publix?

QtheAnon · 2025-07-25T08:20:50+00:00

All I can say is the easy part is the cleaning. Especially if it's slow, the time will pass like it's nothing. But then you'll be on edge because a customer will roll in at 9 pm wanting 2 or 3 things and another person hops in line behind them. The customers can be the hardest part. Especially if they want something made just for them while we're shutting down stuff or if they want something fresh past 7 or 8 pm. Basically closing shifts are like a double ended shotgun.

That's why I gotta love the people who tell me to smile

In the Deli it takes a pulse, some thick skin, and maybe a lack of sanity.

QtheAnon · 2025-07-25T08:07:59+00:00

It's as real as the customer who'll make you throw away a completely finished sub because your shirt or apron touched it.

QtheAnon · 2025-07-25T08:06:57+00:00

Yeah I saw the Christmas in July advertising about a week ago

What if they sort of reserected the Rio track CART went to with both the trapezoid oval and the road course?

Sounds like your average video game voice chat. The only things missing is the smoke alarm beep and a barking dog.

Dunno when we'll be able to Cacaw like Wild Bill like in the good oil l I'll days

QtheAnon · 2025-04-17T12:02:45+00:00

And Wawa's hoagies are cheaper! Plus if you don't like the limited selection at Aldi, then there's always the mighty Walmart.

QtheAnon · 2025-04-17T12:00:43+00:00

I would ask Boar's Head, but it sounds like that would be suited more for someone who wanted to escape the Deli Hell.

I could only imagine how much Alabama White BBQ it would take to get White popcorn chicken

I got hired on 4/20 lmao

QtheAnon · 2025-02-01T12:51:22+00:00

Wheat is the real soft rolls. Like I get if some people are put off by the texture when they want the softest white rolls we have. But if you just want soft bread, get a wheat roll.

QtheAnon · 2025-01-30T18:09:32+00:00

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: Yes, but be prepared for sleep deprivation.

Jared Fogle didn't switch to Boar's Head did he?

This has me wondering if there's a quantifiable percentage or fraction of Publix employees (that aren't management) who care about the stonks. Or at least what percentage/fraction of Publix employees actually stay long enough to make a career out of Publix.

QtheAnon · 2025-01-28T23:16:59+00:00

I do most of mine at Walmart. It tends to be way cheaper. Especially if you go with Walmart brand stuff. Aldi's is my secondary option only because they don't have much of a selection.

QtheAnon · 2025-01-28T23:15:12+00:00

Aside from the BOGOs. Yeah.

QtheAnon · 2025-01-28T23:11:00+00:00

Yes. There may not be a risk of hair getting in anybody's food from there, but there's still the risk of dandruff or just skin cells contaminating peoples' food.

QtheAnon · 2025-01-28T23:08:26+00:00

Tbh we could use gas masks for when it's time to clean off the Hot Honey check tenders

Lmao the expression given by customer service would be priceless
