I was in Publix at Naples Walk on Vanderbilt Road today. A young man packed my groceries and also helped take my groceries to my car. I asked him if he was VACCINATED FOR COVID and he said he was NOT vaccinated for Covid and that he doesn't like needles. I am very disappointed in Publix for not mandating the Covid Vaccine for their employees. I am retired and I am vaccinated. I feel Publix is putting all its customers at risk by not requiring their employees to be vaccinated. The Publix employees stock shelves, pack groceries and wait on thousands of customers daily and are putting us at risk by not insisting their employees be vaccinated.
I will no longer shop at any PUBLIX for this reason. I called and spoke to an Assistant Manager who informed me Publix does not require their employees to be vaccinated & does not pay healthcare for their employees. If a Publix employee gets Covid; the TAX PAYERS then have to pay their Hospital bills.
Publix customers have a right to know their employees are NOT VACCINATED and are putting their customers at risk of getting COVID 19! The employees are not washing their hands between customers and are not even wearing a Mask! read more
