I applied on their portal and went into the store to introduce myself with the manager. I had an interview set up for the following day. Very easy process. It is good to introduce with the store manager and the department manager you went to work in.

It depends on the location, I was referred by a friend. I talked to his boss and he did not have a position for me at that store so he sent me to his sons store up the street. I walked in, he took a good look at me and says I'm hiring him and hit me with a swab test. However, I interviewed at a different location that I ended up not taking because the drive was too far and it was for a different position that I didn't want. This interview was about 30 minutes and was very very intense. He went into far detail about "why publix?" What do you know about publix? Etc
