My local Publix seems ok, I’ve never had weird vibes from the customer side of things. I did apply for a job there once and it was such a clusterfuck I wondered how they ever hired anyone, so maybe mine is just so disorganized that the management doesn’t have time to try to micromanage the workers (which surprise surprise makes for a better experience for everyone)
This has been in Publix employee manual forever, the assistant manager would also watch the security cameras to make sure you were doing it
They were also making the one black guy who worked there piss in a cup, he asked everyone there and found out he was the only one. This was 2018.
