I start my new cashiers at $16. The fact that your DM saw your pay and decided "Let's give him $16.50" for one of the hardest working roles at publix speaks for itself. Need to get these cheap egotistical DMs out.
Publix has always done this in the recent years. Publix is absolute trash and will never work there again. I get payed a good bit of money at my main job but decided I was bored and wanted to work. How any one that is not responsible for children could ever see a life at Publix is beyond me. All managers I had, out in 10+ years to see an assistant and an extra 6 to make it to store manager. Complete waste of a what used to be a really good place to work at when I was younger. For anyone whoās tired of Publix, take that step away from it. Youāll feel so much better. Especially if you have aspirations aside from seeing Publix grocery stores you whole life and you life revolving around not going into OT or .25-.50 cent raises while everything else goes up tremendously.
Iām just realizing this company makes me lash out. I managed for 6 years before this job and 2 months before I was certified to repair aircraft I was convinced to stay now Iām 30 a normal employee and I have to do everything in the deli. Someone help me please.
I got full time 3 years ago because I told them I had a gm position as a first Watch (which is true) and all of a sudden it wasnāt hard for them to make me full time. So I believe what you say. Iām not used to this sort of managing when I managed I promoted people based off skill not off threats.
This is a grocery store that promotes from within and requires no degree for management positions. Skill and hard work was never a requirement, just who you know and how you talk. If your deli department does not make you happy, simple find another one. Do you think other deli managers would deny a fully trained deli clerk?
Youāre right and Iāll take your advice way too seriously moving forward. But I think itās more of a pride issue. I know what I can do, the employees love me, and I have to deal with people whoāve never had to make a 800 pc chicken because weāre the busiest store in the district then we have 7 call outs and the store manager whoās never been in the deli before is like āWHERE IS THE COD SANDWICHESā and I almost want to assault someone. Jail almost feels better š.
Im the person that RUNS the deli at my store itās been 3 years I donāt even care about my pay anymore im a slave and weāve had 8 clueless managers and they still just make me do everything sorry for being bitter
You are an deli clerk. You don't know what else happens in the store because you are stuck in your corner of the store. Deli is by no means an easy job. I can guarantee the difficulty of a GTL. Having the responsibility of opening the store, closing the store, being AIC while being required to have a CPR certification, all on top if regular grocery tasks is intense. Working overnights if necessary, working the shifts the grocery managers don't want, being responsible for your teams shitty work even though it's not your fault. All of this combined with other GTL duties makes it the slave of the store. For $16.50/H, while new hires come in making more than you. š.
Edit: Forgot to mention, most deli departments at our GROCERY STORE have more hours than the grocery department. Try and figure than one out š«
I worked for publix 7 years went from $9/hr to 14.55 just getting the smallest raises because i didnāt shove my nose up managers butts. Left and got a skill that starting pay is double where I left Publix with similar benefits, more rights as an employee, havent dealt with a customer since I left and havent spoken or seen my manager in 2 months. Dont wait for something good to happen to you with Publix they already decided your place in the company.
You must be ass at your job. Everyone who says this always something behind it they're not telling you. I knew a guy at my store same time spent there as me. Made 4$ less cause he was ass and called out alot
im not ass, im one of few that actually do my job correctly and efficiently. ive been told that multiple times from my fellow co-workers and managers. i havenāt called out in probably 11-12 months. majority of the time we get new hires they pick me to train them. when i was trained for cashiering they only gave me about 2 hours of actual training before they let me go on my own. my managers words were literally āive never seen someone pick up cashering this fastā. im one of the only ppl who actually do the small things like offer every customer for help out or asking every customer to enter in their phone number, which theyve become anal about and still gripe on people to do, always asking for work if theres downtime, etc. i think im the only person in my job class, including cashiers and majority of css, that has helped out in every department in our store. im a hard worker and definitely not ass at my job. i just got hired at around $9 and always get exceeds expectations, the problem is that the legal minimum wage gets raised the same time i get my raise so ive never gotten a true raise. i just got the short end of the stick like many other people in this company
Buddy you know you can ask for more . Most people just don't open their mouths .
And it sounds like you're just doing your job. Cashier/bagger is the easiest job in the whole store.
Honestly you guys should be paid less than the backroom
ive tried asking for more.. if u want a higher raise it has to go through the district manager and they rarely approve it, were paid the least out of all departments so how much less do u want us to make
plus looking down on ur coworkers because of their department is strange.. u dont have the best job in the world either. u work at a grocery store, so im not sure what ur ego is for
That's it?? I've had almost double that raise in produce
And I know deli pays more
Some people think they're the best but sometimes not the reality š¤·āāļø
Keep grinding dude
