I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Apr 2015
Interview
I went into one store and met with the manager and asked if there was any positions open and i would like to work for the company. About 3 weeks later i get a phone call saying there is a position open at another store and if wanted to do an interview there and i said yes. So the day before and the day of i did a lot of research (mostly this site) just to see how the interview would go. Then when i got to the store I talked to the customer service asking for the hiring manager. when i started the interview i shook his hand and smiled and at first it seemed like he just wanted to get the interview over with like it was a waste of time but after a while we were laughing and telling jokes he asked me what positions i would like (i said bagging or stocking) and he said i have an opening in the deli but its hard work and he basically tried to talk me out of doing deli but i just held my ground and took the job.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Publix (Lakeland, FL) in Mar 2015
Interview
I got a call the next day for an interview. It was very professional and a bit intimidating. They asked all the typical interview questions. They told me that I was asking too much in salary for the position when it wasn't even 14 dollars an hour requested. They can defiantly afford more for a position they claim have supervisory duties.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Publix (Destin, FL) in Jun 2012
Interview
Just asked a few questions for around 10 minutes. It was very laid back and not too difficult. I didn't get an interview from the online process so I had to go in and ask for one. They gave me an interview on the spot and gave me the date for orientation. Online application was very long though. Many questions about what someone would do in certain situations. The interview was overall a good experience.
