Actually, the FDA DOES approve that. The requirement of gloves is specified only for 'ready to eat' and 'cooked' product. The 'not washing his hands' is another thing entirely though. eww.

In fact, in using the saw: it is a safety requirement that he NOT wear gloves as they can get caught in the blade and suck his hand in and cause him serious injury or death. Watching someone's hand be cut off over my steak... that would ruin MY appetite.

consumer indifference
There is also the issue of the fact that Entenmann's is brought in by an outside vendor and while Publix can submit an request, that company (perhaps not producing enough of it or just not producing it at all) and that vendor (placing the order up to 6 months in advance for holiday items!) could lay the blame elsewhere. Little Debbie, for example, is a vendor and discontinued a peanut butter oatmeal cookie, unbeknownst to us consumers. :( There is no excuse for his flippant response though. For instance, I know that Valentines day flowers had to be ordered before Thanksgiving... because its a holiday order. Pigs, hams, and turkeys can be shipped in by the PALLET but the initial order has to be made more than a month in advance. Its retail. Try to plan ahead next time.

He wasn't fired because he was old or any of the other reasons. He was fired for theft. It really does not matter what other employees told him or whether they were doing the same thing. He should have asked a supervisor what the policy was.

"This letter was emailed to Publix's CEO on behalf of my friend and of course I never received a reply."
The CEO has more important things to deal with than to second-guess the store manager. It may be an invasion of privacy to disclose private business to a third party (you).
"why didn't someone at least afford him the opportunity by a verbal or written warning"
You just told us that he can't hear or read.

That's right, he is hard of hearing (not deaf) and does not speak nor read English. I can understand Publix's CEO not second guessing a store manager as from what I read on the blogs the store managers profit when they save money by firing other employee's especially when employee's are encouraged to rat on one another. So it all comes down to firing an employee for theft for drinking soda that the employee was willing to pay for when he was first made aware that this was against company policy. I just wonder if the other employee's that told him it was common practice to consume the drinks did so for their own gain.

Second hand reports are useless. Publix's did nothing wrong.

Wow, i can't believe it. I am a disabled veteran with over 40 years of active and reserve time that defended his country so major companies can dismiss their employee's for little or no reason at all? Even in Vietnam or Iraq we did not shoot the enemy unless they were firing on us. No, even those by standers we thought were enemies and some were we held captive, interrogated, then either let go or sent to POW camps but at least they were giving a fair trial and I might add something to drink during their proceedings. Anyway, I guess that is why unions were formed in the late 1800s to protect the rights of workers and at least give them an opportunity to defend themselves. Now don't get me wrong I am not against union employee's but what I am against are corrupt union officials. All I ask is a little compassion be afforded to a ten year employee that has no union representation.

Quit whining and do something about your situation. Should have went for door #2 and let her hit you, she would go to jail for assault and be fired. Problem solved. Quit being such a mpuse and confront her about her nasty attitude and tell her to knock it off.

"There has got to be a lawsuit out there somewhere. Are there any lawyers reading this? Take us on, now and let's win another 81.5 million from Publix which was the last discrimination lawsuit won in 1997. It's time for a new one. Set up a website and I will find you. I search for you every week."
I actually felt bad for you, until you got to the part where you basically say you are just looking to sue and get some cash out of all this.
pathetic.

I don't feel sorry for the snivelling tit at all. If she can't handle a mmmmenial job in a grocery store she isn't fit to handle life. Read her other complaints. She is a mentally illl passive aggressive backstabbing bitch who won't stand up for herself and confront anyone directly. I hope they find her complaints and fire her ass.

Sorry, but this complaint just doesn't ring true.
Publix always answers complaints. You might not get the answer you want, but you do get an answer, If this is SO important, why did you give up after one alleged e-mail? What e-mail address did you use? Did it ever occur to you to use the e-mail form on the Publix website? Did it occur to you to pick up the phone? Call the HR department?
For something so important to you, you seem to have put in little to no effort. It gives me the impression that your only concern is looking like a hero for this guy rather than actually helping him.

Bad treatment from manager
If you want us to believe a story, you can't start off with a statement that is obviously untrue. "I was busy entering my credit card information ". You don't enter any info. You slide the card and press credit. How long can that possibly take? 5 seconds? Nice try.

Bad treatment from manager
@DealWithReality
You must really have no life at all loseI made this complaint on December 3, 2010. The Publix Supervisor and manager contacted me within 3 days, they went over the videos (Yes, everything is documented on video) and compensated me more than adequately. Case closed asshole. Your sleuth work is as retarded as your inbred family. You are an obvious troll with nothing better to do than go over complaints that are 1 1/2 years old. I bet you are a christian. Your name shows that you are a contrarian f*** that gets off on trolling.
I don't care what you believe loser. I got immediate results. This is the ONLY complaint I've ever made here. I don't hang out on these forums like you when you're not cruising the stalls at airports. Have fun trolling you waste of humanity.

george would be turning over in his grave if he knew what was going on today at publix. they talk a good game about family and community, but thats not how it is. its like a good ol boys club (or highschool) and if you aren't partyin with or sleepin with the right people you don't really have a career. it has nothing to do with your work. i've been a good employee for 3 years, was promoted to asst dept mng a year ago. i left early on a thursday sick, went to dr on fri who gave me note to return to work on mon. my manager said that bein sick was not an excuse to be absent and i had to call the dr for a detailed explaination of my symptoms.the dr said this was a violation of my hipa rights(my manager was there since she made me make the call in her presence). i told her what the dr said n she said if i didn't have a detailed note my absence would not be excused. the next day the dm comes to talk to me because they want to do a backround search on me. obviously they are afraid so i guess my next call is to a lawyer. stay away from publix!!!
