Publix
The company I decided to do would be the Publix Corporation. The mission of Publix is to be the premier quality grocery food retailer
The Publix Corporation is committed to doing and conducting business in a professional manner, therefore Publix associates are expected to dress in business attire when meeting with different suppliers. In some cases casual attire is acceptable if it is agreed upon beforehand. When checking in at a Publix office or store distribution facility, there are five major steps that you must adhere by. These are 1. Stop and identify yourself to the Publix security officer, 2. Follow any directions that are given to you at the time of your visit. 3. Sign in at the reception area, 4. Do not leave reception area unless told to do so, and 5. Check out at appropriate security post.
