Many of the people that have worked their way up to higher levels of pay who are now facing pay reductions are not tolerating this and are leaving or retiring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1160780597779209282006-10-13T19:03:00.000-04:002006-10-13T19:03:00.000-04:00I agree with some of theses posts and some I don't...I agree with some of theses posts and some I don't. I always liked our Publix and the clean cut personel but, I don't like some of the newer ruder cashiers and bag boys that they have recently hired. They look and act like they are angry at being there. Change is inevitable but, I am seeing an element coming that hasn't been there before. I just hope it is going to effect the quality of the products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1160062582919705192006-10-05T11:36:00.000-04:002006-10-05T11:36:00.000-04:00do you save money at Wally World because you have ...do you save money at Wally World because you have no selection therefor don't spend your money??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1160060803944899092006-10-05T11:06:00.000-04:002006-10-05T11:06:00.000-04:00Pubix in West Palm Beach !

I love running into neighbors and love the overall feel. However, The floors are absolutely disgusting. I saw the earlier post about mopping at night and this is unacceptable. They evidently know that once is not enough and should do it through out the day. <BR/><BR/>Lately, it appears they may have hired some of Albertson's cashiers. They seem a bit rude. Never speak.
