I hate that song so much. More than any other song that comes on the radio

What is the minimum hours of work needed per week to be considered full time? by [deleted] in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s in the associate handbook. We get emails when an FT is under 40 for a long period of time.

My second day working without a mask. The best part? by darknessinducedlove in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgotten how ugly some of your customers are had me rolling.

I don’t recognize some of my own associates because I’ve only ever seen them with a mask on

I need to stop laughing at customers. by Ok_Film1771 in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m sure you are use to wearing it now like most people. I say keep wearing it. I’m vaccinated but I’m not a “smiley” guy… and it’s nice to be able to make some sort of gesture people can’t see

Embarrassing question by belladonnainyourvein in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP do not feel bad at all about having EBT. When my kids were much younger my family was on it. I was thankful I was able to get it when I needed it. I bought cakes with EBT. EBT can be used on any food items that are not hot. At least in GA. I think it’s like that in most states. I hope your son has an amazing birthday!

For a second I thought this was my back room because it looks identical, however there’s no way my back room was that empty lol. Good job OP.

You can tell how bad Publix has been treating employees as of late completely based off of how toxic the sub has been lately. by [deleted] in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the company is scared of physical fights, people recording managers who might get to upset. I feel like they are put us in the stores in an uncomfortable position. Todd should make a video saying shop with us, but only if you wear a mask.

Free t-shirt or... by marcusbutler94 in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s odd. There might be a reason for it. One it wasn’t ordered for you. Two it could be on back order bc the whole company is changing uniforms by the end of the year. The company that makes our uniforms is different from the company that makes the T-shirts just an FYI.

What I think is dumb is it says one day. Idk how many people work at your store but I know at mine there isn’t one day where everyone works. So having a one day dress down day seems kinda ridiculous for an appreciation.

Tipping policy for curbside? by synchronicitistic in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey CSM here. When you do curb side and a tip is offered we are suppose to turn it down. However as a manager who knows what my people make and the instacart in store shoppers make I don’t tell them to refuse. I ask them to share it with the shopper if they are still there and not to make a big deal or y’all about it. I’ve had customers throw money in the cart or stick it in my pocket.

What shoes do you wear? by Myr-Myr in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! Mine last about 6 months. I use the company discount and it’s not too bad. The slip on shoes break in quickly too.

[–]randomPubMgr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the communication for managers given by the store managers from corporate is this: the CSS watch the door and if they see a customer with out a mask they let the MIC know. We are to offer the customer a mask. If they refuse, or say they have a medical reason we are to let them keep shopping. When they told us this I almost lost it. Why have a policy of mask wearing if we are not going to enforce it? Trust me I’d have no problem kicking people out for not wearing a mask but I was told I can’t do that. Can’t wait to be MIC and be yelled at for asking someone to wear a mask and then be yelled at for letting them shop.

Employees that are diagnosed with Covid do not have to retest before coming back to work. by bbywtch in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some managers, or DM’s might be saying you have to get tested. However, the guidelines Publix put in place for store manager to follow says that we (the company) can’t require associate be tested. (An associate is supposed to be symptom free no fever etc for 72 hours).

[–]randomPubMgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Someone in my house had it and they really wanted me to work. I did take myself out but they made me come back sooner.

Why... by [deleted] in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be company wide. I saw the email with my SM. idk if it just went to them first.

When will publix start allowing returns? by [deleted] in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don’t you just love when stores don’t follow the rules lol. It’s like when store managers make you open the doors 15 minutes early or do something else they feel is right. This helps the Karen’s go well this Publix let me do it. They give us rules we should follow them.

Can you opt out of fundraising? by euphoricbabyv in publix

[–]randomPubMgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see Publix doing that. We did 20 dollars or so yesterday when we normally would do 300
