I work at Publix also and I'm on a Workers Comp case and they treat me like dirt. They give me less and less hours trying to force me to quit so I will settle the case. They are literally a billion dollar a year business and they want me to settle a back injury that I...

Most Public employees are very respectful. But there seems to be one or two that like to make comments at some places.

Where I live it is interesting. There are several different economic neighborhoods. The Publix stores I use are in most of them.

The higher priced neighborhood with two stores and the lowest priced neighborhood with a store seems to have the arrogant ones. Usually a comment when walking away.

Race card declined. Western Union and vendors that use them are VERY particular about procedures due to scammers.

Elimination of cashiers

2.4
Publix used to be known for great customer service. Now they are becoming like Wal-Mart eliminating cashiers and forcing customers to scan, ring up and pack their own bags. This slows up service, turns customers into cashiers and greedily eliminates jobs. Very disappointing!!!

User's recommendation: Might as well ship at Wal-Mart, at least their prices are cheaper!

Humiliated because of Certegy and I have been a very happy Publix shopper for years.

4.6
After years of wonderful service, I was declined at checkout because of Certegy. I had changed to Launch and had a low number check. $207.00 worth of groceries in my cart and Publix acted on info from Certegy. Humiliated beyond words. The line in my aisle was getting longer and longer. I had thousands of dollars in the bank. I havent been back to Publix, which I love, since that happened. Most people have no clue about Certegy and I barely even heard the word but I have since researched them.

User's recommendation: Take cash because Certegy controls if your card will be taken. Never use a low number check which was my mistake. Had I not loved all the cashiers at Publix, I would have left everything for them to put up.

Apology to my husband and I, but that won’t remove the humiliation I experienced when I was there. I had $200 in cash and gave the cashier the cash. So, they only had to remove a few items. I was mortified.

Weird experience today

3.9
Today I returned some produce that I believe caused me to break out in hives after eating it. One of the women behind the desk proceeded to tell me that when people get old they become allergic to all sorts of things. Way to go, Publix...B

User's recommendation: Be polite and exercise proper boundaries with customers.

Just purchased a sandwich from Publix, went home and noticed the the sandwich was soggy and wet from not so fresh vegetables and try to return could not find the receipt went to customer service store
Manger and two other employees said that if I didnt make the receipt I could not get another made same employees saw me by the sandwich early so the manger store and employees through my sandwich in the trash. Really bad service store manager was rude and all most had some racist attitude and tone. Publix was located downtown Orlando June 24, 2021. Time of hr 8:00 pm eastern. Mind I shop at the Publix 3 times a week. Ashamed and embarrassing. I payed $6.99

User's recommendation: Please stay away from customer service.

No value of the pharmacy gift card after having had a shot there

In December of January I had the pneumonia shot and was given a gift card that says pharmacy on it and the girl said it was worth $10. Well, I hadnt used this gift card yet but the girl checking me out said it had a $0 balance

User's recommendation: Always have the person double check it before leaving with the gift card.

I presented a pharmacy gift card given to me after receiving I believe it was the pneumonia shot in either December or January.

But I dont believe it was activated because the girl said it had $0 dollars. But I hadnt used it at all.

User's recommendation: Make sure at the pharmacy that your card has. Slur before leaving.

Price!!!

Update by user Jul 15, 2021

Publix has never contacted me back. Not one word.

No letter nothing!!! I would say that they don't care at all!!!!

Original review posted by user Jun 15, 2021
I went into Publix today looking for bell peppers. I found what I was looking for. I purchased individual red peppers, 3 individual, orange peppers, and 3 individual yellow peppers. I went to the cashier and the total for 9 peppers was basically $20, $19.83!!!!!!! These better be the best peppers in the world for that price!!!! Earlier I was at Walmart. I purchased a family pack of 9 large chicken breasts, 3 large yellow onions, and 3 baking potatoes. it came to a total of $16.43!!!!! When has vegetables cost more than meat???? at Publix it does!!!! Do not go to Publix for your fresh produce needs they will rip you off in price!!!! Go to a fresh market or any place else but do not go to Publix!!!! These must have gold in them!!!! onions,i

User's recommendation: Do not shop at Publix for fresh veggies, you will get ripped off!!!!

Self check out

1.1
Why would anybody pay high prices at Publix and then have to checkout your own groceries and bag them and take them out to car. Publix use to be a good store. Not anymore. Meat department is awful. You need a saw to cut the meat. We need a new grocery chain in Lakeland.
