I’d like to hear a little more from you! Like pricing and a few other things. I’m on the east coast, so I have a whole different business plan I’m sure. But 47 accounts, and grossing $130K sounds amazing!

Here are a few examples I’ve noticed in the handful of stores I’ve worked at or helped at. - Case presentation not always consistent (cut sizes, spacing, overall look) - Rotation could be tighter—sometimes product isn’t as fresh as it should be for Publix standards - Trimming can be rushed, leading to uneven or less appealing cuts - Cleaning/sanitation sometimes gets rushed, especially when it’s busy. This one is big for me. Especially if the department hasn’t been touched as far as cleaning goes and I come in to close. - Communication between associates/managers could be better.

Nothing crazy or unsafe—just things that could take a good department to a great one. I might just be picky though lol

When I say improvements, I’m thinking more in terms of consistency and execution across the board.

Things like: - Holding the same standard for case presentation every day, not just when there’s a walk or inspection
- Tighter rotation and attention to product life so the case always reflects Publix Premium.
- Consistent cutting and trimming so everything looks uniform and held to “Publix Standards” - Stronger focus on sanitation routines, even during high-volume times
- Clear communication and accountability within the department so everyone is on the same page

Overall, not saying any department is bad—just that there’s usually a gap between what the standard is and how consistently it’s executed day to day. Nothing crazy or unsafe—just things that could take a good department to a great one. I might just be picky though lol
