Quote:Having worked at Publix in HS and college, I can attest to the fact that there are employees who do indeed turn a blind eye, especially with their friends.  It usually becomes common knowledge, and the people who are involved normally get caught.  It doesn't take much.  A few missed items when scanning, or ignoring the fact that their friend has put on 20 lbs between entering and leaving the store.  Unfortunately, they wind up getting busted because Publix people love to talk.

This.


During my time there if we "wrote off" perishable items that we wanted before they were being donated we had to get 3 signatures. One from the Dept Manager, Closing Manager, and Witness.


Publix Corporate kept a detailed inventory list, if there was more than a 3% inventory variance, it would trigger a red flag and prompt a immediate investigation through HR, LP, etc.


By that time people are gossiping, and word would have already spread back to the Managers as to who the culprits are.
