Pay less than Wal-mart, Target, and most other similar stores, but charge customers premium prices - Front End Cashier Publix Employee Review

Employees are paid much less than current rates in most other less expensive stores. Publix charges premium prices to customers while paying employees less than Walmart, Target, and even Aldi, among other stores. Most employees are payed well below minimum wage, and some have been working with great work ethics and dedication for them for over a decade and still don't make minimum wage. Management is spotty and shifts a lot, often leaving lower mgt positions not truly supervised. There's a pattern of the hard working underpaid long term employees taking up the slack off less capable and less caring enployees that get nearly the same pay. Many class action lawsuits against Publix for not paying fairly. A store that expects customers to pay more for their goods should pay employees better to give customers premium treatment, rather than give employees less than Walmart pay and still expect more from them.
