I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Publix (Naples, FL) in Dec 2013
Interview
Quick interview drug test shortly after. Not much to it after the first online test. Good company if you want to move up with them. But can be very stressful.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Publix
Interview
The application and interview process is very streamlined. If they schedule you for an interview then they want to hire you. Just dress conservatively and try not to talk too much. Research the company in places like this before the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing asked was particularly difficult or unexpected. "Why do you want to work here" is probably the make or break question.
