I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Publix (Auburn, AL) in June 2011
Interview
The process for the interview at Publix was very straight forward and was only difficult if putting the drug testing strip in you mouth is hard to do. I was given some very basic questions to answer regarding my resume and I was done. Very painless process.
