Feds charge Winn-Dixie with selling undersized lobsters

In response to the remarks made by dough boy and hope you get this message.Obviously you are an idiot. I work for for Publix and not in management. Publix takes excellent care of its customers AND its employees. Publix believes in family values therefore does not stay open to all hours of the night.Com panies like Winn-Dixie and Walfart stay open to profit from Publix having values and closing at a reasonable hour. Stores are clean and neat and unlike your precious Winn-Dixie. And for that matter the prices at Winn-Dixie are just a tad bit higher than Publix (I use that term loosely).Obviuosly you are either black or hispanic trying to cause another issue once again. ThankYOU

winn dixie is cool i work there

u r all mad

I work for winn dixie for about 1 year know and my mother worked for them for 30 years. I know that winn dixie is putting 1.5 mill in to each of there stores. I work on the reset team cleaning the stores to make them better winn dixie has there down falls. But there still the best store to buy meat from. try to get a great steak from Publix or wal-mart good luck.
I also have got out of date stuff of the shelve.Talk to the store mrg. and ask him to train his stock crew. OUT OF DATE is the store mrg not doing his JOB

God what is the world coming to Winn Dixie selling undersized lobsters repent its the end of time. Oh what are we going to do.

Yeah just ignore it and let them abuse the rules. Lets just overfish and destroy the oceans, keep all fish even if they are only 5 inches long .... doesn't matter according to the posts here.

WD is the saddest company. I am not very impressed with the decisions made in the past (very tumultuous) 2 years. I have been in the work force for 32 years. One stint at a 3rd generation family owned company in Jax. Third generation is a tough threshold. The grandaddies would have died for their company. The wealthy sons tended to spoil most of their children. Their sons (most often, the girls married very well) were "groomed" to fill the shoes. It was not like the shoes were too big at all. In fact, some were microscopic. Some family members failed to make the annual meeting. The few that were trying desperately to keep the company going forward were outnumbered. The company was sold and some of my friends ended up financially healthy. Distractions are fatal sometimes. Getting family members to all look in the same direction is a phenomenal feat anytime. Can you imagine the dissension at a board meeting? Family empires crumble quickly. However, Publix is a different story! This privately-owned company was founded by George Jenkins. He had a mission that is still talked about. He and his brother and children have done a fabulous job keeping the continuity of the place "where shopping (truly is) a pleasure". I love that he said, "If I can't make it 6 days a week, I don't need to be open 7." Or something like that. They were the last retailer I know of that stayed closed on Sundays. It is still a privately-owned company. Many employees can retire in 10 or 15 years because of the stock they have to sell back to the company upon retirement. When I went to work at WD, I thought (as I am sure Peter Lynch thought), "Whatever happens in the next few years is going to be monumental." If Peter's "ingenuous" decisions (impacting the bottom line and my pay scale) work, it will be a home run. If not, he's a buffoon... Either way, the company I am working for will definitely be mentioned in the Wall Street Journal. I don't think I will wait. I realize they hired a few young (<50), educated, vets (not for dogs), often men of color. They needed the color desperately but they needed grocery/retail experience. There are unique concerns when you deal in groceries. Lower management could go away in some departments. As far a racial concerns, the "word" is, if you are black at the warehouse (managers too), you won't be fired. If you have been driving for 27 years and you roll into someone in a Winn Dixie truck, you will probably be fired. A new employee (< 90 day probationary period) is a "no call, no show" twice you can still to be a proud employee of Winn Dixie. This place is really whacked. Right now management is chasing dollars. I have told my manager and director I can show 5, possibly 6, ways we pour unproductive dollars down the road. Neither one of them has asked me to explain. Getting better all the time!

Pearls before swine.

Yo voy a tener mi reloj fijo entonces. Yo no tenía conocimiento de esta norma. Por favor, perdonen todos nosotros población hispana por no saber que éramos sus compras sólo después de nueve!¿Por qué decimos cosas que son tan ignorantes o nos hacen mirar ignorantes. Sí que trabajan largas horas durante el día y tener en el empleo la mayoría de la gente no, pero hay blanco y negro de personas que hacen lo mismo.¿Por qué decimos que después de nueve tienda.¿De dónde sacas esa idea?

For you who are not Hispanic read below!

To Will:

I need to get my watch fixed then. I was not aware of this rule. Please forgive all of us hispanic population for not knowing that we were to shop after nine!

Publix is far superior to any other market. All employees are very friendly and say hello to you. Stores are much cleaner and brighter than the others. Even the Publix brands they sell is just as good as the leading brand names. Very seldom do you wait in line. Hats off to Publix, you run a great company.
Wal-mart is at the extreme other end. Worst store there is. Sacrafice you make for cheap prices.(cheap merchandise)

i don't know why you guys gossipin about Winn Dixie/publix cause the only thing that's different about them is logo

Maybe in the Miami area. There is a vast difference between a shopping experience in Publix and Winn Dixie. Hey, check out the batherooms. I dispise the fact the slogan admits we were horrible, "Gettin' Better All the Time!"
I think this was just not smart. I go where i know the will consistantly have the products I buy. If they are out they can tell me when it will be coming in. They order things for me from companies they didn't know about. I have neve had a good experience in a Winn Dixie. The carts are rusted and crippled. Employees walk by you like they could care less whether you are in their store. I really beleived and had hope for the grocery chain. Winn Dixie aponsored a weekend discount program for employees. Many of us at the warehouse work Saturdays and Sunday. Our payroll is messed up many, many weeks. There are some messes that never get entirely corrected. Sometimes this takes weeks. There are also times we are overpaid. What a mess! I will always go "where shopping is a pleasure!"
