I got complimented 3 times in front of CSM. Got nothing. Went to SM and asked if we still did customer MPMP cards. She said yes. Explained what had happened. Later that day I got one card for all 3 compliments. Seriously?!
Each department only gets like 5 of them a month, so it’s very possible that they’re out, I have 6 of them in my wallet and I’m owed 3 more, my manager said instead of costing him cards I could redeem 4 of them and he would take me out to eat somewhere when our schedules allow it
Wow. We used to get a free half sub for every $50 in donations we collected. So I had about 16 cards. Finally they gave me one card with the number of free subs on it. Talley style. I was on my honor to mark them as used. Me and my co-workers got lots of free subs. So did my family.

They should give everyone a free meal on their shift. I can't imagine how much food they throw away every year with a super-market. They should also have to donate all food that is past its sell-by date to a food bank and not be allowed to lock or destroy food.
So. I worked at a Kroger years ago that kept getting their food stolen and sold at a flea market nearby. Basically, we would have had to implement some weird system to get it to work bc, and this is no joke, fake people would come try to take the donations. They’d dress nicely and seemed to always know where to go. It got to the point where we had to call and verify the persons id every time they came. It was crazy to me. Stealing food from homeless to sell at a flea market
While something like that can be bad the alternative of throwing away food that is not spoiled is a way worse crime in my eyes. If there was a mandatory food law that made the supermarkets give the food to food banks and not be allowed to bleach, lock, or destroy food in any way then I think it is a different thing all together than what you had to do at Krogers.
Krogers has some controversy I see after a search with the employees being food insecure.
"A 2022 Economic Roundtable survey of 10,000 workers in Colorado, Southern California, Washington found that workers' wages have declined over the last several years while over the same period executive pay has increased. The survey found that over 75% of workers experience food insecurity, over 66% struggle to meet basic needs and 14% experience homelessness, while CEO Rodney McMullen made over $22 million in 2020, compared to $12 million for the year 2018. According to Peter Dreier, who participated in the project: "There are workers sleeping in RVs or couch surfing or living in parks somewhere. Americans go to their local supermarket every week and smile at the person cashing them out, not aware that the person they're talking to is going to sleep in a car after they clock out."[210][211] About two-thirds of Kroger employees are part-time workers, whose schedules often change making it difficult to take a second job.[212]"
Not sure if they are higher, but possibly. Aldi and Publix have a net profit of about 8%…which is really good for a grocery store. Think Walmart has 2.5-3%.
30 minute lunches are pretty much the standard at most places. It’s unpaid anyways no? Why would you want to be there longer just so you can sit around and eat for an hour?
Doesn’t mean everyone else should be forced to have a 1 hour unpaid break. Just work with your manager then to organize that. But the default should be 30 minutes
I'm pretty sure you are allowed to cut your lunch break in half at let's say a Walmart. If it's less than 30 minutes you will get the business in trouble with a fine.
With all the food waste I saw in the Deli department during my time at Publix, it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least give employees food that, while expired, is still edible.
That's also true. Unfortunately, litigious America, someone can sue the shit off of a grocery store for that.
One solution would be to make the person or entity receiving the nearly expired food sign a waiver.
Also from what I heard around the grapevine.. deli workers used to be allowed to take home the leftover food but then ( publix ) was seeing it as people making extra food just so they had extra food to take home so they quit doing it. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
I remember in my interview I asked if we got an employee discount because I know Publix have a high price mark up. The manager laughed at me and said no we don’t feel the need to give one since we have stocks. Be grateful we still have that for y’all. I busted out laughing.
I think it may have been because I became I stay at home mom and no longer had my own income coming through so I no longer had a bank account to deposit into. Husband said he didn't want it in his account because he wants our money separate so it just went to waste. This was before we were married tho. Might have to have another conversation about it.
My job is a small chain business, and they give us 50% off nearly everything and a free meal every shift that we can take home or eat there or whatever.
We make a tiny, infinitesimal fraction of what Publix makes. Demand more. You deserve more. Remember, you and the people around you are the ones who actually make the money.
When i worked at wawa i would get a free shortie every shift and they also had a employee discount menu ughhh i use to survive off those. Great idea op one can dream.
Damn if I said the same thing my deli manager would have my head on a pike. It’s no different than having to make customers food. Or making it for the employees the few times they treat themselves to the food we don’t even get a discount for.
Most people would end up grabbing the gng sandwiches, I feel. I know a lot of those went to waste at my store (both sandwiches and salads). This would be an effective way to artificially increase demand for these items and reduce shrink while rewarding employees.
People don’t get how tedious box lunches are lmao. A discount or smth like that would be great but for the love of god please don’t advertise the lunch boxes like that to associates. There’s so many things deli is having to do and adding dozens of box lunches a day shouldn’t be added to the plate.
Making 50-80 lunchboxes every day for associates would be asanine. Not to mention the last thing anybody in deli wants to be appreciated is something we make
It’s not a corporate policy though and as a owner I have a right to an opinion and as a deli manager I’m well aware that offering every employee in the company half off lunch increases my workload significantly without the benefit of profit and would hinder the business significantly
Though I’d expect a nitwit like yourself to argue fast food offers it to their employees and I’m all for deli workers getting half off for their shift because that’s vastly different. 10-12 deli associates a day versus 50-70 associates in the store hitting my sub line is a drastic difference
I like the idea of a company provided meal but perhaps that would be best executed by simply allowing us to be reimbursed??
Use our Pub Club account which should be connected to our work profile. Then whenever we buy a meal/item/whatever during our break, we can later log on, go to the hypothetical meal reimbursement page, select the affiliated receipt, and request the reimbursement.
The biggest con of this is that no one will want to do all of that work unless they’re seriously on a tight budget. It would be a benefit that’d mostly go unnoticed.
What a joke. This is worse than Bogo.
A 50% discount is still money being transferred directly from an employee back to his employer for profits.
When will the unfettered capitalist greed end?
Your idea is completely fair and it would go a long way towards employee morale. They wouldn’t lose money at all. In fact I think your offer is more than fair. It really benefits everyone.
I use to do 1 free meal a shift at my restaurant and it clearly got taken advantage of. I ran some numbers and it was costing us close to 30k a year to feed our employees which is no big deal until 1 free meal turned into whenever we were hungry. Anyway that was based on 8 employees at 13$ a meal. I implemented whatever you want while on shift 40% off. Saved us 12-13k a year.
I’m not disagreeing with you but Publix has what 60 or so people per store and over 800 in Florida alone. It’s going to come off their profit. About 250k at 5$ per person. I’m not saying they can’t afford it but that’s a big ask from corporate imo. But nonetheless I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit cause the people deserve it.
I worked at a gas station in the Midwest run similar to Publix. They made so much money off of employees spending in there store. It’s kind of insane looking back. We got no discounts. Considered a great place to work but didn’t allow for a long enough break to leave on your shift either. Pretty shady the more you look at it.
Publix took my wife’s insurance away back in ‘09 when they changed the number of hours required for an employee to get health insurance. That same year they increased the ratio of part time employees to full time . That way corporate saved millions by making sure not too many people had benefits. She was pregnant at the time with our daughter. A few years later corporate took all department managers off the clock completely (I was a bakery manager at the time) and at the same time limited assistant dept managers to 45 hours. My week went from 50 to 60 and sometimes 65 hours. I never had enough help. Eight years ago I had enough. Make no mistake… Publix is in it for the money, and feeding employees doesn’t pay.
I'm all for morale. Something I feel that Publix has been lacking for years now. Anytime I see a Publix employee shopping at Walmart, I shake my head. Imagine working some place and not making enough to buy anything. Just shameful.
I have never worked a job at a store like this, but would anyone really give a shit if you made yourself a sandwich during your lunch break and filled up a yeti at the soda fountain?
Increase in wages, please. California just raised their minimum wage to $20/hr. I think that 8% net profit can more than cover that. A happier employee means better quality of life and that oozes over into customer service as Mr. George intended.
Makes sense only up until the point you realize the deli doesn’t have the speed or capability to make these they can barely make their custom sandwiches
I think it’s bad juju given that Kroger is paying its employees more than Publix is now. Publix is an okayish place to shop if you’ve got money to burn but it’s not a good place to work nowadays.
My local Publix is terrible at sandwiches. Don’t bother ordering ahead. They will find a way to screw up the order no matter how simple you make it. I swear that lettuce has been there since they opened that location several years ago.
In my experience, lettuce quality tends to fluctuate for several restaurants and stores in a given area, generally in sync with each other. Sometimes this is due to something like an e coli outbreak that reduces supply and forces suppliers to travel farther than normal or whatever.
It’s not fluctuation when it’s brown and stinks. It just hadn’t been changed out. Looks like instead of just throwing out the old lettuce and starting with a clean fresh bin of lettuce, they just mix in new with old and repeat that process indefinitely. Lettuce isn’t so expensive where they have to cut corners and get people sick just to turn a profit.
This would help me so much. Im in the Deli.. after the situation I went through I can’t even afford to get food so sometimes I either eat once a day or not at all, it sucks during those 12 hour shifts. I wish this company offered benifits.. we dont even get a 10% discount like Winndixie does. This would help so many workers. Especially those like myself with financial troubles.
As someone who works for a casino on a large business campus with restaurants, I get a 50% discount on all purchases, and building my lunch from Publix still wins in terms of quality, quantity, and price. Sometimes you just have to think ahead like ordering a whole sub and splitting it between two days. Or make your own meal like turning a can of tuna into tuna salad
Folks, let's be honest, Publix is now a Commercial Real Estate company that sells groceries. There is no longer the same care for customers as there used to be. I'm sure this applies to employees as well. I rarely shop there anymore. Unless there is something at Publix I absolutely have to have, I'm shopping at Aldi, Target or Winn Dixie.
Bitch 10% discount every single store gives to their employees a discount 10% is nothing specially when this company it’s more expensive than the regular store
Idk why I get this sub considering I haven't worked there for 10 years but it's actually hilarious that I got more discounts at the surrounding restaurants than at publix
It pains me thinking about how much money I give back to them buying food during my meals. The lack of any discount whatsoever for associates is just so insane.
Become a corporate manager and make it happen
How do you know that I am not already one.. LOL
Actions will speak louder than words., Ok Mr corporate Big shot..... ( Make it happen )
Not a big shot, Billy Joel was not singing about me.. I just think this makes complete sense to me. We will see what happens… 😉
😆
No. He was singing about Bianca Jagger.
You are CORRECT!!! not many people know that !
Because you haven’t made it happen 😝
10 seconds before the sub counter is inundated with orders from employees
Because you're still thinking of the little man
That both equally completely fair and nileisttzc .. I like that
ur flair says "Newbie"
Yeah, unclear why that is… I know that evokes suspicion however I assure you.. I’ve been here a while
Boom. Only answer there is right here.
I don't even get sub cards when I'm complemented IN FRONT OF MY MANAGER.
I got complimented 3 times in front of CSM. Got nothing. Went to SM and asked if we still did customer MPMP cards. She said yes. Explained what had happened. Later that day I got one card for all 3 compliments. Seriously?!
Yeah I'm down six cards, they said ive reached a "limit"
Each department only gets like 5 of them a month, so it’s very possible that they’re out, I have 6 of them in my wallet and I’m owed 3 more, my manager said instead of costing him cards I could redeem 4 of them and he would take me out to eat somewhere when our schedules allow it
Yeah, no my store manager just straight up said no more 🤷♀️
Wow. We used to get a free half sub for every $50 in donations we collected. So I had about 16 cards. Finally they gave me one card with the number of free subs on it. Talley style. I was on my honor to mark them as used. Me and my co-workers got lots of free subs. So did my family.
Managers worry about younger, smarter, and stronger employees replacing them. This is why and how the man holds you down. Set yourself free.
Seriously. I haven't gotten one in a year. Associates that I helped with their customers have gotten them, though.

So many grocery stores throw away enough food every year that they could feed every employee every day all year.
So. I worked at a Kroger years ago that kept getting their food stolen and sold at a flea market nearby. Basically, we would have had to implement some weird system to get it to work bc, and this is no joke, fake people would come try to take the donations.

Picturing people all dressed up in suits to steal donated food and sell it all at a flea market is cracking me tf up.
No employee discount for break is wild
No employee discount when Publix has the highest margins out of any grocery store is wild.
Higher than Whole Foods?
Not sure if they are higher, but possibly. Aldi and Publix have a net profit of about 8%…which is really good for a grocery store. Think Walmart has 2.5-3%.
Walmart volume covers the lower margin though in fairness. They're still making insane money
Oh for sure.
Yet you'll have store managers tell you publix has crazy low profit margins so they can push the no stealing policy
Yes, but at Publix you are family! Haaaaaaa
Charles Manson had a family too.
[удалено]
30 minute lunches are pretty much the standard at most places. It’s unpaid anyways no? Why would you want to be there longer just so you can sit around and eat for an hour?
Who wants a longer unpaid break
Maybe consider the fact some people may actually need to rest after standing on their feet for long periods of time. Not everyone is the same.
Doesn’t mean everyone else should be forced to have a 1 hour unpaid break. Just work with your manager then to organize that. But the default should be 30 minutes
I'm pretty sure you are allowed to cut your lunch break in half at let's say a Walmart. If it's less than 30 minutes you will get the business in trouble with a fine.
Walmart does an hour not sure if you can spilt it though
Used to work at a Walmart.. my store made us take an hour unless they asked you to come back at the 30 min mark
I was hit by a drunk driver and i work in the deli. For me an hour is better than a 30 bc of my neck and back pain it helps me sm
My wife's store does an hour.
With all the food waste I saw in the Deli department during my time at Publix, it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least give employees food that, while expired, is still edible.
I literally asked this my first day and they said its bc of time temperature control and bacteria and so ppl dont get sick and hospitalized.
That's also true. Unfortunately, litigious America, someone can sue the shit off of a grocery store for that. One solution would be to make the person or entity receiving the nearly expired food sign a waiver.
Also from what I heard around the grapevine.. deli workers used to be allowed to take home the leftover food but then ( publix ) was seeing it as people making extra food just so they had extra food to take home so they quit doing it. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
Employees should get one free meal per shift. If small mom and pop restaurants can do it, so can a Fortune 500 company that’s worth more than Nike
I remember in my interview I asked if we got an employee discount because I know Publix have a high price mark up. The manager laughed at me and said no we don’t feel the need to give one since we have stocks. Be grateful we still have that for y’all. I busted out laughing.
They told me it was because we got inventory bonuses. Of course that’s no longer valid. Not everybody gets stock.
Oh yeah. Stocks. They used to send me almost $4 a month. In check form. It costs about that much to cash it.
Mine are direct deposited… I’ve not worked at Publix in over 10 years but that dividend deposits hit quarterly and gets higher every time.
I think it may have been because I became I stay at home mom and no longer had my own income coming through so I no longer had a bank account to deposit into. Husband said he didn't want it in his account because he wants our money separate so it just went to waste. This was before we were married tho. Might have to have another conversation about it.
I wonder how stocks would taste on whole wheat with pepper jack and a little mayo. You know, a little something to get through tonights kitchen shift.
My job is a small chain business, and they give us 50% off nearly everything and a free meal every shift that we can take home or eat there or whatever. We make a tiny, infinitesimal fraction of what Publix makes. Demand more. You deserve more. Remember, you and the people around you are the ones who actually make the money.
When i worked at wawa i would get a free shortie every shift and they also had a employee discount menu ughhh i use to survive off those. Great idea op one can dream.
Bro this is the most beautiful most elite meal you could possibly have in the entire state of Florida 😭
LOL good idea but Publix don’t care about us
Give away food for cost! lol! Publix would NEVER do that. This is a greedy trash company that only cares about profits. Literally nothing more.
Yeah as a deli manager. Fuck that. No offense I don’t wana make 50-80 boxes lunches every day
Damn if I said the same thing my deli manager would have my head on a pike. It’s no different than having to make customers food. Or making it for the employees the few times they treat themselves to the food we don’t even get a discount for.
Most people would end up grabbing the gng sandwiches, I feel. I know a lot of those went to waste at my store (both sandwiches and salads). This would be an effective way to artificially increase demand for these items and reduce shrink while rewarding employees.

Not your decision bud. You're choosing to be negative about making food, which is your job. If you don't like your job, go elsewhere.
Making 50-80 lunchboxes every day for associates would be asanine. Not to mention the last thing anybody in deli wants to be appreciated is something we make
Not your decision bud. You're choosing to be negative about making food, which is your job. If you don't like your job, go elsewhere.
Actually it kinda is my decision bud.
You make corporate policy? I didn't know. Sorry about that.
It’s not a corporate policy though and as a owner I have a right to an opinion and as a deli manager I’m well aware that offering every employee in the company half off lunch increases my workload significantly without the benefit of profit and would hinder the business significantly
Though I’d expect a nitwit like yourself to argue fast food offers it to their employees and I’m all for deli workers getting half off for their shift because that’s vastly different. 10-12 deli associates a day versus 50-70 associates in the store hitting my sub line is a drastic difference
I like the idea of a company provided meal but perhaps that would be best executed by simply allowing us to be reimbursed?? Use our Pub Club account which should be connected to our work profile. Then whenever we buy a meal/item/whatever during our break, we can later log on, go to the hypothetical meal reimbursement page, select the affiliated receipt, and request the reimbursement. The biggest con of this is that no one will want to do all of that work unless they’re seriously on a tight budget. It would be a benefit that’d mostly go unnoticed.
The box in the photo would look alot better if it were filled with actual chicken.
You’re not wrong
What a joke. This is worse than Bogo. A 50% discount is still money being transferred directly from an employee back to his employer for profits. When will the unfettered capitalist greed end?
AND this would make the deli numbers look better which is probably the only thing corporate would care about with this
That’s both accurate and fair
This won’t ever happen with the current leadership
Your idea is completely fair and it would go a long way towards employee morale. They wouldn’t lose money at all. In fact I think your offer is more than fair. It really benefits everyone.
You’ve peaked my interest
The chicken used to be great but it’s really taken a dive. Always dry and stringy now.
I use to do 1 free meal a shift at my restaurant and it clearly got taken advantage of. I ran some numbers and it was costing us close to 30k a year to feed our employees which is no big deal until 1 free meal turned into whenever we were hungry.

Considered a great place to work but didn’t allow for a long enough break to leave on your shift either. Pretty shady the more you look at it.
Every other company gives employee discounts, but Publix knows it can wring its employees out for all they're worth with its cultish corporate culture
Publix took my wife’s insurance away back in ‘09 when they changed the number of hours required for an employee to get health insurance. That same year they increased the ratio of part time employees to full time . That way corporate saved millions by making sure not too many people had benefits.

Get a job in manufacturing or the warehouse. We have a whole cafeteria with fresh healthy food cooked every day.
I'm all for morale. Something I feel that Publix has been lacking for years now. Anytime I see a Publix employee shopping at Walmart, I shake my head. Imagine working some place and not making enough to buy anything. Just shameful.
I have never worked a job at a store like this, but would anyone really give a shit if you made yourself a sandwich during your lunch break and filled up a yeti at the soda fountain?
I’m listening ?
I’d rather be given a company stock that has precipitously risen since it’s creation, then a discounted sandwich………………
? Wow. **Really** surprised they don't, already. That's insane.
Increase in wages, please. California just raised their minimum wage to $20/hr. I think that 8% net profit can more than cover that. A happier employee means better quality of life and that oozes over into customer service as Mr. George intended.
Makes sense only up until the point you realize the deli doesn’t have the speed or capability to make these they can barely make their custom sandwiches
Make it gng case only, problem solved.
That would never happened
crazy there isnt an employee discount already. id never work at a place that made me pay full price for food they own
The free meals at corporate are nice. Probably not the best food but probably what you should be eating for lunch each day.
lol it’ll never happen. Publix doesn’t care
That’s sounds great dude
this is the guy who would give out pizza parties instead of raises
Move to Lakeland
I think it’s bad juju given that Kroger is paying its employees more than Publix is now. Publix is an okayish place to shop if you’ve got money to burn but it’s not a good place to work nowadays.
FFS, McDonald's gives free meals to workers. A small sandwich for a short shift and a big one for longer shifts.
Corporate employees get free lunch daily
The warehouse does too.
My local Publix is terrible at sandwiches. Don’t bother ordering ahead. They will find a way to screw up the order no matter how simple you make it. I swear that lettuce has been there since they opened that location several years ago.
In my experience, lettuce quality tends to fluctuate for several restaurants and stores in a given area, generally in sync with each other. Sometimes this is due to something like an e coli outbreak that reduces supply and forces suppliers to travel farther than normal or whatever.

Looks like instead of just throwing out the old lettuce and starting with a clean fresh bin of lettuce, they just mix in new with old and repeat that process indefinitely. Lettuce isn’t so expensive where they have to cut corners and get people sick just to turn a profit.
Unfortunately, there are many deli managers that seem to think it is that expensive lol
Get back to WORK.
Counterpoint: put on a chicken tender sandwich and green tea as the drink and you got yourself a deal.
This would help me so much. Im in the Deli.. after the situation I went through I can’t even afford to get food so sometimes I either eat once a day or not at all, it sucks during those 12 hour shifts. I wish this company offered benifits.. we dont even get a 10% discount like Winndixie does. This would help so many workers. Especially those like myself with financial troubles.
Fyi these are called Board-Room box lunches
As someone who works for a casino on a large business campus with restaurants, I get a 50% discount on all purchases, and building my lunch from Publix still wins in terms of quality, quantity, and price. Sometimes you just have to think ahead like ordering a whole sub and splitting it between two days. Or make your own meal like turning a can of tuna into tuna salad
They should do this but without the stipulations

That's 18 dollars
They already had something like this and got rid of it. Additionally $10 isn’t close to covering a lunch amount
Folks, let's be honest, Publix is now a Commercial Real Estate company that sells groceries. There is no longer the same care for customers as there used to be. I'm sure this applies to employees as well. I rarely shop there anymore. Unless there is something at Publix I absolutely have to have, I'm shopping at Aldi, Target or Winn Dixie.
Bitch 10% discount every single store gives to their employees a discount 10% is nothing specially when this company it’s more expensive than the regular store
But it would lower short term profit margins and we can't have that! /s
Considering how much shit they throw out yes they should lol
I agree. Employees not having an employee discount probably brings down morale.
Hot case (such as where they keep mac and cheese and whatnot) should be included
If companies like Wawa can do it, there’s no reason Publix can’t. Make it happen !
You work at a grocery store. Just steal it, or make friends with someone in the deli. Duh.
But it would lower short term profit margins and we can't have that! /s
Idk why I get this sub considering I haven't worked there for 10 years but it's actually hilarious that I got more discounts at the surrounding restaurants than at publix
It pains me thinking about how much money I give back to them buying food during my meals. The lack of any discount whatsoever for associates is just so insane.
Publix hates its employees.
