Publix Super Markets people

I have worked at this new publix for about two months. I am a very cheerful person and I am always getting complements for how friendly I am by customers. I was complemented to a passing by store manager and he didn't even say anything about my speedy check out lane. I had a costomer that was not very nice to me and he took something I sad the wrong way and complained to cooperate . Three managers throughout the day aprouched me to tell me how I treated the customer poorly. I didn't get a write up but I felt so terrible, it was the day befor the 4th of July and iv just worked 9 hours for 3 days in row... If you work at publix you know that those are extremely busy days especially if your store is by a beach. I am so sick and tired of not being praised for hard work and going above and beyond. I regret ever putting an application in. Customers are so great at taking advantage of the working class and smiling faces.

I have been shopping at Publix since moving to Florida eight years ago. My store is located on Le Chalet Blvd in Boynton Beach. I cannot praise the staff working at this location enough. They are pleasant, helpful and very professional.
Your job is dealing with the public. The public is not always easy to deal with, but that is what you were hired to do. It is the greatest aspect of your job description. If you can't handle the job you were hired to do without a constant pat on the back, you need to find other work.

Publix Super Markets treatment of customers

This has to do with the manager of Publix in Brunswick, Georgia. I always thought that if you want customers, you need to be nice to them. Well the manger in Brunswick is NOT!. I believe her name is Keisha or something like that. She is basically rude. I was in there shopping a few days ago. And there was no one sitting in the deli, but an man. She went up to this man, and told him he could only sit there an hour. He was drinking a cup of coffee. She didn't have to be so rude to him.

Publix Super Markets employment

Publix is the absolute worst place to work for. The managers are all super anal about everything... yet they don't help with anything. My assistant grocery manager literally spends half his days on instagram posting selfies in his work clothes. They have a million customer service employees but then only 2 or 3 guys to work the entire grocery department. Like can they not do math? wtf. They never are satisfied or gracious for the work you have done they always want MORE MORE MORE. They pay really crappy... and everyone is always like "publix retirement is soooooo great." bull ### it is... yes they give you stuck big freakin deal. the hell you have to go through there they should be giving you a damn pension. This place is so unorganized and they are absolutely never prepared for anything... like inventory coming up... lets wait till the last minute and then act like dicks cuz its not done. Then if there is a night a huge truck comes in they are not prepared for that either. THE MANAGERS put in long hours but they are lazy as hell. GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ###!
never work for publix. trust me.

I've only had about 2 or 3 Managers that were awesome! Mr Culbreath who was at my St Petersburg store years ago, was awesome! So, was Mr Gibbs an Assistant Manager in St Petersburg, not sure where he is now. The Assistant Manager at the Publix in Auburndale near Winter Haven is also a great guy, unfortunately I've forgotten his name. Trying to be positive with my response because most of the stores are negative.

Publix Super Markets poor working conditions

I was working there for several months in the Deli.The store us a nicer Publix from stores.The Deli was much nicer than other stores but the moral of the staff was the most discusting I have ever seen.They behaved as if they were teenagers from the streets who are troubled. They fought and fought everyday, the manager seemed to not really care about the moral as long as the work was done.I had never seen anything so disturbing in all my years.The staff was a war.I could not work there with all the lack of respect day in day out.The sad part was the manager did not care to improve the staffs moral. I had to leave but with pleasure. I felt bad for the ones who had stayed without improvements made by management what a shame and shame on Publix in Plantation Florida.

Publix Super Markets who really owns publix??

Campaign finance $7, 158, 747 given, i see why publix associates don't make any money, looks like publix love's giving money in return for favors to the republican party. . Http: / / influenceexplorer.com / organization / publix - super - markets / 8ed225eea57b4731b00f74ec714b9aa8. I can't see why publix with many class action lawsuits happen right now, they never make it on the news? You will see publix on the news about something good they have done that's it. Also $322, 000 from publix ceo carol (Jenkins) ? Barnett against medical marijuana. Barnett? I wonder who really owns publix now. Barnett bank if you remember barnett bank? Publix, barnett team up
Bank deal to debut in jacksonville stores privately held publix, with 439 stores in florida, is the state's largest supermarket chain. Jacksonville - based barnett is the state's biggest bank, with $43 bilion in assets and 615 branches.
November 1, 1995|by jay weaver business writer) . Now barnett bank went under became bank of america"we're not sure what that's going to mean for the future, " publix spokeswoman jennifer bush. I wonder what really happen? How come publix love's getting into goverment? A small food chain? How come jenkins name is gone? Who really owns publix? Why is publix a great place to work if they can't take care of the associates? How come publix gives. 25 cent raises? Publix got really rich fast? Publix was hurting back in the 90's publix was closed on sundays so to pick up more business, publix opened on sundays, but in the late 90's all that changed, publix got rich fast. You guys can look all this up on the internet but not on the news for some reason. Publix holds a dark secret, money is power. Publix makes big deals with buddy's in higher up goverment to buy and buy land in all 5 states. Dig deep my friends.

If you want to know who owns it, just look it up. It is easy.

Who cares who they donate to. They are a company, owned by people. They can donate to whomever they want. Get over it.

Publix Super Markets denial of 1st amendment rights and racism

As an employee of Publix I have to deal with many people all day long. Publix has denied me my right to free speech and in doing so has demonstrated racism. Yesterday, I was in the backroom discussing how the ISIS terrorist were cutting peoples heads off. A Morrocan woman of Muslim faith asked what we were talking about. The other employee and I told her ISIS, ISIL, you know the Islamic Terrorist. She looked confused and said she didn't know what we were talking about. I wnet on to clarify that they Muslim terrorist and, asked, half jokingly, if she was going to go that way. She then started getting upset that those weren't her people. I told yes, they are Muslim. She started ranting and raving that she was hurt I would say such a thing. (Good thing she, evidently, watches the news or she'd really be hurt.) However, I went on to say that you good Muslims are the ones who are going to have stop the terrorist. There was no other way. At this point she took off and told the new assistant manager. I was then asked to clock out and leave.
Sorry but she should have been asked to leave also. I went to a meeting with the store manager this morning and he said he was turning the statements into HR and they'd have to decide what will happen and in the meantime I was under suspension. So not only did they hamper my first amendment rights and un-equally let her stay but they also denied me wages.
What do you think?

Well back in World War 2 if you know American history we the United States Government pulled all Germany & Japanese citizens out of there homes and were put in camps in the United States! Because most of them, German and Japanese people in America were turning against the United States! That's if you guys know your American history or if schools today teach that to you young kids. On that note YES it's ### Publix didn't send that other person home! The thing is in American today we got to be-careful what we say, I guess Mr. G Washington don't mean nothing, when he said in his farewell speech about how we the United States should NEVER get in any foreign business! America (WE) have always made goods here, from Radio to T.V's, tons of farms, tons of people working right here in the United States. Made in the U.S.A. So what i'm getting at is today's American we have to kiss them foreign peoples ### cause of oil, money and all the rich U.S. people who make tons of money with factory's overseas Nike, H.P., Sony, u name it even food, juices, toys, oil etc.. Look up George Washington's farewell speech, pages all he wrote himself.

Publix Super Markets terrible customer service

I have been a loyal Publix customer since I was a little girl, 17 plus years. It has always been my families grocery store due to the excellent customer service . It truly makes us feel so comfortable and we trust the Publix brand. Until this past Friday July 11, 2014 . I am never one to complain but I just cannot turn a blind eye to this terrible incident. I went in to do my weekly grocery shopping at my regular Publix store at, 4402 Curry Ford Road Orlando, FL 32812 location, and noticed there was a sale on a particular item that I purchase quite a bit for my family (CapriSuns). The sale was for $1.79 and there was an instore coupon for $1.00 off each. When I went to grab this item it said it was limited to 2 boxes per customer. Which I did pick up 2 boxes and so did my partner. When I went to the register to pay for my groceries, the store manager Manuel Aybar approached me and told me that as of that moment we coud only purchase one per day which is not what the sign said. I proceeded in telling him the sign clearly said 2 boxes per customer and offered to show him. He said he didn't care what the sign said (not a very pleasent way to be speaking to your customers); that he was only allowing me to purchase one unless I walked out and back into the store. Then I could go get more or make the purchase in separate transactions and then he walked away. I proceeded in following his instructions to make my purchases on separate transactions and then he came out of his office infuriated because I was still standing there making my purchases. Then he proceeded in telling me that it was only if I walked out of the store and walked back in humiliating me infront of my family and the rest of the publix customers that evening. I went ahead and walked out and back into the store like he told me and then he yelled at me and said, "Make sure you never come back to this store I will be notifying all my employes and managers". When I asked why he said, " because I can". As you can see from this situation that is NO WAY to speak to anyone much less a loyal customer. My only crime was to go buy my groceries that night while he was working . I understand that everyone is entitled to a bad day but that is no way to tread your customers. All I wanted to do is purchase my weekly groceries, however I was treated like an animal. Your brand is so well known for their EXCELLENT customer service do not let one rotten apple spoil the rest. This is not how you want your brand to be represented. This is uncalled for and not acceptable behavior specially from a so called manager that is supposed to be seating a good example to their employes. I am embarrassed and very disturbed by this situation. I expect this inhuman behavior to be rectified.

Publix Super Markets bullied and harassment

I know what all you publix people mean on this board. . I moved to new area and started at new store,. I was so hurt, bullied, belittled, by my dept manager for a year, i had 12 years in with publix, family of 6, 4 children, publix was my business, i would dress up nice, loved it. . But this new store i moved to took all that away. . . Being full time getting not 40 hours but 37 - 39 hours a week, my schedule was nuts, closing (11pm) then opening (6am) , ten hour days with 3 days, , working like 3 to 5 hours, 6 days on, , i would speak to my dept manager but she would be rude and mad, mean. . . I was a great worker at ever store i been too in the past,. . Customers loved me, workers loved me,. Store manager had it in for me, and so did deli dept manager. . Being called into the office once, sometimes twice a week for drama, things i knew nothing of. . Was told i stink couple of times, was told not to wear jackets off the clock, cause i looked like a thug. . Yelled at in front of other workers, was told i wasn't sick after being out of work for a week with ecoli food poisoning, i was questioned in the office by my store manager, dept manager, i was in tears crying in that office they didn't even care. . , asking me all kinds of questions. I asked my doctor to print me out paper work to show my manager's, he would not, doctor said; its private and they don't have the right to ask you questions about what you had. . . Crazy cause i'm one who never calls in sick, or never late for work. . So managers wrote me up. . It was just a living hell in that store, no one in the store even liked our dept manager, other managers would tell me things about her how male workers don't last with her. My dept manager would pick her female friends and make that dept like a drama show, it was really crazy. . I started getting so sick over this whole thing, told my wife i just don't feel like going in to my business anymore. . . After my transfer request never happen, other dept managers wanted to take me, they would say its your manager she don't want you to leave her dept. . . Gone to h. R. , every time i would call him, i would get voice mail box, i would leave a message in tears, no call back. .Come to find out h. R. Neil, would call my dept manager or my store manager hear them speak first then judge me. . And yes i did work for publix 12 years, 4 months, my bring home was under 400. 00 dollars a week. I learned at publix about stink meetings, labor dollars, p and l reports, boar's head drives publix deli people to sell, and if they do not they will be graded, demo, cutting hours, hire new part time workers cause full timers cost more. . Never will i forget what our dept manager said to us at a stink meeting, if full timers can't sell, be proactive, then you will be replaced with a part timers. . I guess that's how you talk to stock holders. Store manager was pretty much a [censored] who never really cared about anything or nothing, you would try and speak to him he walks away. . Not a care in the world making all that money can't take time to speak to his workers. . Open door? Really sad to do this to a stock owner who once loved publix, even after i left publix, i never got my 10 year award,. So i asked my store manager over the phone, to mail me my 10 year certified award, he goes, one wasn't made for you. . . Wow! So had to call lakeland to get one. . Well, i'm done here, done with publix i try to still shop there but every store i go to i see things workers not with food holding code, empty sub shop, fly's buzzing around everywhere, ,. They got all them new cheap part timers, who don't know where nothing is. . . I started a new life, new business with better stocks, better future. . Peace. .

Well, UNHAPPY WORKER I agree, they say what comes around goes around, Publix right now has 2 major class action suits going on, They be paying out BIG MONEY soon. Agree 100 percent with you, they did the same crap to me, My story is all true I have posted it here..Even every worker I know say the same thing.. I will prey for you cause I know how it feels to go though that kind of Harassment, bullying.. By the way Publix is one out of 100 best places to work, look to the bottom of that list you will see Publix.. Miss Anita, When I started at Publix back in 1999, it was number one, they did so much for the workers, cookouts, awards, Christmas Partys, Holiday feast and you know what soon no more bonus for the workers, I have friends in publix and that's what I have been hearing, , so little by little, BIG changes are being made in publix...Look at all the new workers count them stars, old timers are leaving, and publix don't care, cheaper to get new young 8 buc's an hour new worker... When you leave that dump you will feel so much better, All the best I prey you find a new job...

Have you thought of applying for another job? Maybe approach your manager and tell him he is not using your skills to the best advantage and that you would be better suited in the "Complaints Department". (Use this complaint as an example)!

Publix Super Markets bad service, bad acts toward workers

After having stopped into a Publix location to pick up subs, been waiting in line for 25 minutes. My wife and I were pretty upset about this. Also having seen crazy things happen as customers..We phoned Customer service in Lakeland about this deli and explained what had happen, seeing one of the workers placing a chicken tray in the hot table with no gloves on, having one person making subs who was not happy, on a dirty white counter, could over hear her telling everyone in line sorry for the wait, also seeing deli mgr yelling at one of her co workers about a order then walked to back of deli. With long lines and just a couple of workers on a weekend didn't seem kosher to us. We had a chance to speak to deli mgr who had been with publix for many years, after being really rude with us, we left the cart and walked out. So lady over the phone was really nice, and told us she would contact the DM. This is not the first time we have witness this, after being with publix, and now to stop shopping with publix..Clearly publix shows its customers how nasty they have been with there co workers and with customers..

Publix Super Markets publix slave drivers

Driving down South Florida, we stopped into a Publix off 41, Since there was a Walmart down the road we passed, we wanted some Publix subs.. So as I walked up to the sub counter with my list (4) subs, I was 6th in line.. From the looks it was busy, so I waited.Just one person making subs, as I could see hot food table, (food looked pretty old), and could see a black female worker with huge nails trying to place a chicken tray in with no gloves on! Ok. Now line starting to move up, I hear and see to workers one a deli mgr behind one sub maker lady, talking about a order that was done wrong, then walked to the backroom, . Mind you the place is busy, counter was packed, sub line packed, and to see deli mgr talking then walking away, and this older lady trying to keep the sub line moving..So I asked to speak to the deli mgr, after waiting for 25 minutes my wife was ready and couldn't believe I was still waiting...Finally she comes to speak with me, , so I was telling her what I have been seeing here, very rude she goes, , and said, , DO YOU WANT A FREE SUB, , I said its not about that its about customers waiting here, ..I even told her about worker who wore no gloves placing chicken tray in hot table..She goes on to say: O IM VERY SORRY, and LET ME DO YOUR ORDER, DO YOU WANT A GIFT CARD IS THAT IT? I said We don't want a free item.Just get someone to help that poor old lady at the sub table, you got a long line out here..She just did"t seem to care, We walked away we left the cart with groceries and walked out.. Headed down to Walmart were we had friendly service... Sad to see this, Publix seems to run a slave market on there people..

first off, if you read carefully he did not care about the FREE ITEM! just the lack of quality and care given from the manager to the employee. As a manager it is your job to make sure costumer are satisfied and if the line is full throw on a pair of gloves and slap some cheese on that bread if you have to. Publix is honestly a horrible company and they mistreat and work there associates to death with no remorse.

Publix Super Markets civil rights violations - ada

Dear senator nelson & staff

Lisa,

Hi this letter is not really for senator nelson’s office to do anything with other than to be made aware of the situation at hand. I was going to give a copy of my social security impairment cd to publix grocery store corporate headquarters but, and this is snide, after what has occurred over the years where people say I do one thing and something else has actually occurred and have gotten law enforcement whether local or federal involved and blatantly allowed false accusations to arise in the form of either trespass warnings or alleged criminal charges appear.

I am getting tired of “idiots” misinterpreting what I say when I say something but unlike what the gentleman who evaluated me specifically said about not
Being able to have or hold a complete thought. that specificity about my individualism is different when I can take the time to gather my thoughts via an outline and extrapolate or elucidate them in the form of a letter such as this.

Police officers have a hard enough job as it is but and however when they base any form of charge or warning on the fact as an alpha dog (at least that is what he described himself as at the north port police department) on the fact that they have never taken the time to find out the true story with me. all they and many other companies and agencies do is blatantly utilize the badge and gun to violate my civil rights and the ada.

I can if necessary send you what I sent to the doj >criminal rights division ada alleged violations and potential criminal acts< and fdle concerning the violations of all of my rights and my wife maria del pilar sanabria-levitin. this almost constitutes a “hate” crime as my disability is distinct in the fact that my personality, behavior, actions, and vulgar language are inseparable from each other. a hate crime is when you attack a specific caste of society of which I am in all by my lonesome. call it “kismet” that when they classified me this way at social security but as I said in the letter that I sent to you on december 15, 2013, i, most likely am the only person specifically classified this way which makes any form of attack directed at me the literal definition of a “hate crime”.

Now to the heart of the matter of which I am not asking for any form of direct intervention on behalf of senator nelsons’ office, lisa, even though I think you might personally be aghast that this continuously occurs to me especially how it relates to publix. I am going to paste below what I wrote on a google review over a week ago. the website where you can find the review is at:

Review publix super market at heron creek towne center
1291 s sumter blvd, north port, fl 34287
Hated it
I have impairment code 2940 which among other things is a combination of tourettes and aspergers syndrome and social security (ss) has tied in my personality, my actions, and my behavior to my disability which is protected by the americans with disabilities act (ada). whether it is agreed on or not by the general populace, when you violate my civil rights while on disability you can be charged with a hate crime as it goes towards a caste of society since I have a distinct succinct disability wherein my situation I am the only one with this disability. carol crow?, one of the managers
[protected] violated my civil rights when then the advent of the aspergers and tourettes part of my disability comes out.

I tried to tell her that I have the specific disability written above and when I told her that I never have used vulgarity with her due to the tourettes syndrome she responded before I could say anything else are you threatening me? how stupid can any person be especially when I told carol three times that I have that disability, her response was she did not know from any disability and she said I was making it all up. at that point she called the police on me to trespass me from the store after she purposely went out of her way to antagonize me and accelerate my lack of social interaction per the aspergers syndrome which is part of my protected ada rights.

Lisa, I have been in contact with publix headquarters and their assistant to their chief legal counsel jennifer? who is a paralegal and has a bachelors degree. she was also aghast when I first started talking to her about problems with their stores prior to getting trespassed but eventually she was told to back off by their upper level management and none of the situations that I have substantiated proof of were taken care of.

Lisa, as I said my impairment code of 2940 per social security is real. and my sub-classification of subsection >312.34 – intermittent explosive disorder< are legitimately part of my disability of which you have a copy of my ss cd and proof thereof. I will not allow publix or anyone else to violate my civil rights in the process of me shopping there. any firm has the right to ask law enforcement to trespass anyone from their establishment but they cannot base their decision for said action on any person’s disability. rudeness, crudeness, vulgar words, denigration, condescension, belligerence, obnoxiousness, abrasiveness, sarcastic and facetious are but a few of the characteristics of the disability, all documented in the cd.

I am in process of letting the world know anytime I talk to anyone as I start the conversation out I specifically tell them that I have impairment code 2940 with a brief description of what it is since mark alexander secret service agent >tampa fl field office 813.228.2636< has told me to because my disability is not visible, people must have knowledge of it in order for me to sue them. I had no intention of suing anyone, as that is not my nature. my nature is finding people that are in government that acknowledge that “people” are insecure or otherwise are what staff these companies or agencies and bring whatever inadequacies to their attention so they are aware of what has transpired to potentially prevent it from occurring all over again.

I do not feel comfortable with anyone at the “great publix” having access to my ss cd, but I do feel comfortable in having you, lisa. please be available to talk to anyone at publix that is identifiable about my interactions with you at senator nelsons office and what is on my ss cd. until what occurred at publix with carol crow, I thought that the company was a great company.

Final note I am contacting the criminal rights division of the doj about a potential hate crime concerning publix, the north port police department, and other companies, and agencies. the police cannot say we did not know, as they do not allow us ignorance of the law when they are investigating anything. they have a tough job, but they are not going to walk on me in the process of doing their job.

Don't tread on me

200 plus copies for any place I decide to shop at in the city of north port, fl or anywhere.

The city of north port and the north port police department will get a copy of this letter officially when they get sued after the doj gives their ruling. I told danny shultz – assistant city manager and marilyn that I had this disability over two years ago and per marilyn, lisa, I should apologize for my actions when they are the disability. people do have rights but the rights of the disabled supercede the rights of the individuals that are not disabled. cry wolf to the police when none exists and then there will be legal repercussions.

And finally to the gentlemen and ladies in law enforcement where this letter will ultimately end up, other than myself since it is my information:
Unauthorized disclosure of information in this letter is a crime under section 1106 of the social security act.

Federal trumps local when it concerns the ada.

Reasonable accommodation
Per the ada (americans with disabilities >federal< act) regulations. the civil rights division of the u. s. department of justice is responsible for the enforcement of title iii of the ada.
When a retailer fails to comply with any of the ada public accommodation requirements, regardless of how minor or how severe the violation that retailer can be sued for disability discrimination.

I, andrew marc levitin, have an united states social security disability

Impairment code 2940 which is a combination of tourrettes (use of vulgar

Language) and aspergers syndrome. I also have a documented

Sub – classification of ied (intermittent explosive disorder) – verbal

Antagonistic outbursts which as the term intermittent means at any possible

Time wherein undue pressure is given due to real or perceived provocation. I

May say something inappropriate, but that is documented as part of my us

Social security disability, and it is not to be inferred as a danger to an

Employee. my doctors, and I find that the lack of interaction with people

Wherein people initiate the interaction with myself as an individual as one of the

Triggers that causes outbursts. I specifically request as reasonable

Accomodation that I be left (not disturbed when shopping) alone to shop

And unless I need specific help and ask for it, to not instigate a situation with

Me. otherwise, you are in violation of the ada and violate my civil rights

Which can be a crime in the usa.

You can believe anything you want since you are an american citizen but you

Will not violate my reasonable accommodation request and direct your lack of

Understanding of my disability at me with the police as your baseball bat as the

Doj – department of justice and their criminal rights division as my baseball bat. this ain’t a game.

Publix Super Markets publix spring water

I bought a large pack of Publix Spring water in 16.9 oz bottles. I opened the first bottle this morning and the water smells like urine or sewer water. Yuck! I won't be drinking it and I will stop on the way home to return it. Hopefully they will look into it. I just read on another website that this product received an "F" rating on environmental tests. I probably won't buy it again. I took a quick sip before I noticed the smell so I hope it doesn't make me sick!

Publix Super Markets rude employees rude customers

publix supermarkets well this one especially and many others in the orlando area have exceptionally RUDE nasty cashiers working for them. I know everytime I go i get treated rudely, have had people snicker about me just outright obnoxious and for no reason. they literally just ABUSE customers for no reason. Ive also just had bad other experiences at this partiular store. This is nothing new as the city of orlando just has the most obnoxious people here for some reason and they go out of their way to be mean to others and nice people for no reason. I went to this place recently and was waiting in line, a cashier tiffany B I think she was black or hispanic told me she could take me in another line. I was surprised and thought she was being friendly and nice. however, when I got the place/line she didn't even greet me and was just so cold and rude giving me an attitude, and acting snotty and upset. Ive worked as a cashier before and i remmeber being pleasant and friendly with customers, and worse, these nasty people tend to pleasant with OTHERS, especially white people- guess there is still tons of racism out there. however, towards minortiies they can be mean. this nasty cashier tiffany B just proceeded to not greet me and look down and act angry as if she was annoyed she was helping me. Then, as she handed me my change, she pushed the change onto my hand kind of angrily/aggressively. no it didnt hurt but basically she was just being nasty/rude saying "screw you" indirectly and here let me push these coins onto your hand really hard so as to be aggressive towards you. I mean REALLY? im just aCUSTOMER purchasing items...how dare they show al this hostility and for what reason? i was pleasant nice..i even smiled and didn't get a response. Why are these horrible cashiers at publix so rude and mean just to nice customers purcashing things? and no they are not like this with everyone...if you are WHITE you will get the royal treatment from the racist publix cashiers however, if you're a minority well it all depends...they'll treat you how they want to treat you which seems to be the norm for the city of orlando with all the racist obnoxious mean people that live there. orlando really has the worst meanest people and this publix has the rudest cashiers you can find...racist mean sexist jerks... and what is wrong with the crazy women here...why so much anger towards other women? sick people...

Publix Super Markets discriminatory

I know someone who has worked for this company for many years, who has never been late, a good employee, and has never gotten a change to move up in the company. All the openings within the company are given to people who have only worked 1 or 2 years with little or no experience and are all Caucasian.

Believe me, it happens all the time with my friend who 's work there . Discrimination about skin color that becomes national in Publix .
But also can happens other way too . They can also send an assistant manager half black half arabic to do their dirty job for them too .
Makes her believes she is a good assistant, so her nose is up in the air and talking down on people ... she talk black, acting like street people and they laugh at her behind with her none education attitude and to show how black people are bad . The store manager is good doing that . Makes black people believes in him .

The assistant produce manager falling in their traps. She have such a suck attitude and she low herself in street level . When you think you smart ... then you are really stupid .

Publix Super Markets publix yogurt does not contain 6 ozs. as marked

Publix is cheating! Their lowfat yogurt is marked that it contains 6 ounces. It only contains 4 ounces. They are tricking the public into thinking they are getting a 6 ounce container, but it is 2 ounces less than marked.

I noticed the containers are not full to the top like they used to be. So, yes, I emptied 3 of the yogurts into a measuring cup. They only contain 4 ounces, not 6 as they are marked.

Publix Super Markets - publix spring water smelled & tasted bad

I recently purchase a 24 pack of Publix spring water 16.9 ounces and one of the bottles has this horrible smell, it smelled almost like sewer water and chemicals. The other water bottles seemed to smell and taste normal. I found out that some other person complained about the same thing, but they wouldn't test the water for her or tell her the result...
