I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Publix (Sarasota, FL) in Dec 2017
Interview
The interview was very quick and seemed one way, either it was the Deli for me or nothing. I have had no previous training with food so they felt comfortable throwing me to the wolves. I applied for everything but that was the last thing I wanted, but they insisted it would be fine.
