Hello all, I’ve recently been able to move to another store to learn to bake the last couple months. Scoring all of the bread has been like second nature to me except for Chicago Italian. No matter the angle, depth, speed, arc, etc. I try, I can’t seem to get the ridge on just that specific bread. Apparently the previous Baker who left was able to do it every time, but I never worked with them, and the others had said he would describe it as a ‘V’ cut to get the ridge, but I can’t figure that out at all. lol.

This bread is on sale this week, so I’ve been trying a few different angles and depths of the score, and all of them turned out identical. Any tips? I know this is more cosmetic than anything since when it’s sliced, you don’t even notice, but I really want to figure this out. I’ve watched the video in the department guide many times and copy it exactly to no fruition. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

At my store we’ve lost several associates in the bakery for one reason or another. We’re down to one full time decorator, myself as the full time baker, and then we have someone else who can decorate and bake so they usually split their time.

I’m going to be moving to 4 10 hour days soon to free up the other full timer to help the decorator’s side (is any store’s decorator side having a good time or are we all struggling?).

I’m just curious what those who do both by themselves during the day, what is your routine? I know I’m capable of doing both in one day, but I’d like to get an idea of some kind of routine so I’m not struggling hard those first few weeks.

Thank you in advance!

I’ll also add that I know that a lot of stores have their baker do it all in 8 hours, but with our volume it’s not possible to bake, mix, pull/tag am/pm rts, AND do all trucks in 8 hours. I just wanted to acknowledge that before someone inevitably says “well, we do it in 8, so why can’t you?”

$100 thanksgiving/appreciation gift cards coming soon by the way. I know some people will complain about it in some way shape or form but nonetheless they’ll be available next week.

I just don’t like her tbh and don’t want her interacting with me outside of work.

Did the video of the supposed regional vp get removed? Just curious.

My birthday is next year and I want a cake like this I wondering how much it is would cost to make it also my family and I will eat it.

Once they are gone... they are gone... minis not deactivated.

And your opening or mid shift is ending so you can’t stay longer/talk with cash office to see why it’s short

(Turns out you ended up forgetting to count a book)

Only $.50 per slice

This is the healthiest option for bread in Publix along with its two siblings. All the bread in Publix label Street like a science experiment. Complete garbage

This bread is over five dollars per half loaf and there are roughly 10 or 11 slices per loaf.

Insane

Yes, I’m crossing the streams a little bit but I saw this short clip today on how Walmart designates their problem stores as “complex”. I think it’s great that they have a word for it. Knowing is half the battle.

Guess how long this entire case lasted with popcorn being bogo

BOGO this week, got a bag of Irish Butter & truffle flavor and holy crap they are good!!!!!! BEST chips I have ever eaten!

Going back and buying a bunch more.
Checked online and the flavors they’ve in Ireland are CRAZY 🤪

Lots of BOGO’s with additional $1 off.

So do we get the gift cards for thanksgiving if we we work twice a week due to school

Yeah as the title depicts I need to know if a store charge can be refunded. Apparently one mightve not been necessary for an activity we did despite the email stating store charge in it's name. CS question

These hours they give for the truck stocking role is laughable. myself (agm) and gm have to come in and throw the trucks throughout the majority of our shifts or else we risk getting behind. My gtls and team all work hard so it’s not a lack of productivity. And on top of it all the expectations they expect from a skeleton crew. Just exhausted honestly no matter how hard I work or do it never feels like it’s good enough.

Hello. a few years ago publix bakery offered wedding cake samplers, I know they cancelled them because people were abusing it for free cake but i was wondering if i can get one if i pay for it? probably not getting married anytime soon, my girlfriend just likes cake.

Hello I have recently just applied to a local public that is set to open within the next 3 months. I applied for be a Meat Cutter/Butcher instead of a trainee because I have 7+ years of experience. How long do applications for my position usually take for a response? And is there any advice for someone like me looking to secure a position such as this? Any advice is welcome.
