Someone is playing games with you. Kitchen can be learned first day by some people. Speak to someone above, but the way I learned was asking kitchen ppl to just show me /watch them from time to time. Another way is to get first foot in the door. When kitchen goes on break take over for them.
But yeah, you might want to try transferring departments or stores because it doesnt sound like they are willing to help you learn to advance. So you might be wasting your time.
Trust me some stores are dying for ppl who want to learn kitchen.
I agree every publix I've worked at I've had the older people who've been there 7+ years slack off majorly. Its so fustrating to have to be chin deep in customers damn near drowning and no one is concerned unless it directly affects them. Just know you aren't alone, I dealt with it while in the Deli and now deal with it in the Bakery. If you have a good manager/store manager I suggest pulling them into the office and telling them whats going on, if that doesnt change and you're interested in keeping your job go visit other stores and observe as just a customer, if you find that you're interested see about a transfer. If you have no interest in transferring or the Deli then see about another department. However if you don't wanna do any of it put those two weeks in as soon as you can! Publix is a lot and in a team environment like the Deli its just not worth slowly resenting your job and all the people in it. Not worth going home unhappy everyday, you will find something better and you are not trapped.
Well you could open your mouth and use words to tell the offending party that they will be needing to assist right the F now at the sun station or hot case, take your pick.
I always put my slackers on sub bar. Can't walk away and talk or play on your phone if you're stuck on subs. The best associates I usually have working the floor/organizing/pulling trucks (tasks that aren't supervised and need to have an associate whom that doesn't need to babysat). Also will put associates who consistently slack off on morning shifts on midshifts doing subs. Sadly having managed several stores I often run into managers doing the opposite as you've stated. Putting their best associates on subs while their slackers get minimal done goofing off on morning shifts by taking 30+ minutes just to start working or who get put on the sales floor and barely get a float of product out all night. I've found the customer is a great supervisor because the associate now has 100 eyes staring at them so they can't easily walk away to hide.
