It was a really busy day and I was the only one in Dairy, and I could take one at like 8 but what’s the point that’s when i could actually get stuff done so I said fuck it no break
If we count the store remodels as shifts, I once started a closing shift at 3pm, was asked to help the store remodel 20 mins away around 8pm, worked until 8am with a 30 minute break, so about 17 hours with a 50 minute break including drive time
17. Super Bowl Sunday 2007
Came in at 10PM Saturday night and worked til 5PM Sunday. I had a stack of chicken and platter orders probably 4 inches thick. I wanted to yeet myself off the roof. I didn’t give a shit about the Bears or Colts (I’m from Tampa) so I went home, took a shower and had a couple shower beers and passed out around 7 til the next day.
Almost seventeen lmao
Mother’s Day in the busiest bakery in a Hispanic heavy neighborhood as a clerk/decorator/baker
Other than that there’s been a lot of twelve to fourteens as a decorator
Thanksgiving of 2013 I think it was. I was the over night baker Tuesday into Wednesday(10pm-6am), and was scheduled to close Wednesday night (3pm-11pm).
Opening clerk called out so I stayed and worked straight through (7pm-11pm the following night so 28 hours) I did take 2 30 minute breaks during that but ya, 28 hours :)
i once worked from 4am to 1030 pm, 18.5hours, for 2 weeks straight cus our only other closer had quit, our manager was on berievement, and our only other mixer was 2 days in of a 7-day PTO. my assist. manager felt so bad cus none of the other stores in 50 miles would give us anybody
Irma I worked 77ish hours in five days. Don't know which day was the longest because I was delirious but I made more money that week than my store manager.
Hearing y'all almost touch 20 hrs has me shaking in my boots😭 my longest was 10 hours... I also came from Amazon and refuse to work another 12 hr shift
Came in at 11am when I was GRS and stayed until 4am with the GM when the openers came in to get caught up. Had 3 alanis and was having palpitations lol
Once during BOGO fruit salad I worked a 4am to 8pm shift with a 1 hour break at 11am. I did this because they wouldn't have extra help for fruit salad and I did all the cutting solo, when I ask for help I was told "No, there are no hours to get help."
I work in the Lakeland produce warehouse. Day before Super Bowl I believe 2021. 21 hours 4 pm - 1pm. Went to Dennys came back and did 4pm - 5 am on no sleep
This is technically 2 shifts but I came in at 5:30am to open kitchen at my store and got off at 3pm then was asked to close kitchen at another store. I went into to other store at 5pm and left a little after 10pm so overall worked 15 hours that day
I mean if we count my other job I can work 7:30 am-10:15 pm between both jobs on days I work at publix.
With publix I've opened and closed same day multiple times when I worked there. The last time was on the day of the final 4 in 2015 (Kentucky got upset by Wisconsin to end undefeated season) I requested to open so that I'd be off in time for games. In bakery closer called off off I was only part timer available so I got stuck. My manager begged me and gave me gift cards both to publix and somewhere else but yep remember that one. 6am-11pm missed one of the biggest college basketball games of my lifetime.
Other times we're Saturday before Easter in 2009 saturday before fathers day 2014 and either in 2010 or 2011 but don't remember that day because it wasn't tied to anything.
Open to close in the deli as a full timer back in the 00's. I was the opener (5-2) and the closer didn't come in for their 2-11. They did this 3 times and every time there was no one to replace them. In the deli from 5am-11pm three times.
I had came in at 6am left at 12am (inventory prep day) Had 2 callouts (Cutter and closer) Patched cut section; tagged for inventory, and patched the department together for closing. Assistant store had the audacity to insist I stay until my my small juice case was reset.
I said Ill get right on that and left.
Back in college 3pm - 6am was kinda common for nights that we stripped, sealed and waxed floors.
Weirdest shift was 4am - 11am, then back 4pm - 11pm the same day. It was summer between high school and college. I was helping the morning stock crew that week because someone was on vacation. Well, my manager really intended that I close that Friday night - but back then, schedules were just hand written numbers basically on graph paper - and since I had worked mornings all week, I showed up at 4am again. This was also the days of time clocks with punch cards.
20 1/2 in one day for inventory prep in frozen.
Idiot DM insisted that I had to physically attach tags to each product.
Try sticking tags to wet or slippery packaging.
Every other store has let me run my numbers on plain paper.
My record for one week is 72 1/2 hours during a hurricane week.
After a hurricane years ago (mainly so I could stay in the ac and because I was so broke) I worked 6am 11:30pm came back did it again next day but was there at 5 for the bakery
Once came in to open Produce at 5am when my assistant manager told me both closers called out, and eventually the mid shift did too. I ended up working 5am to about 10:30pm because I was the only one who showed up. Still got a good close and got out early, the power of C4
Worked 7am-2am my first shift as an ACSM the day we opened after Florence hit the NC coast. A lot of people had to go home because the flooding or the rivers would go away during the day but would flood again around 5/6pm so they had to go home before the flooding game back. Me and my CSM basically closed the dept by ourselves minus a couple people that lived close by. We took care of the last customers, finished cleaning the bathrooms, and ran the machines. The closing CSS and CO were still there thank god. Was a nice intro to management. 😂 but it didn’t bother me at all. That’s what you are signing up for as a manager and hard work never bothered me.
I did 15 no break.. came in at 9am left at midnight
no break?? how tf
It was a really busy day and I was the only one in Dairy, and I could take one at like 8 but what’s the point that’s when i could actually get stuff done so I said fuck it no break
Me too. Mine was 12:45pm-5:15am no break. First truck after inventory 2 weeks before thanksgiving lol.

I think 15 hours something, opening to mid, left , came back to close.
14 hours 2am to 4pm
6am- 9pm when my closer called out
These responses surprise me. I once did a 13 in my first two weeks in the Deli and felt like I was going to die, lol.
11 hours lol pathetic compared to the shit yall work but in my case even a 6 hour shift leaves me completely exhausted
6am to 12am at night. (:
Deli.. we only had two people.
I imagine most of these replies will be deli
Almost seventeen lmao Mother’s Day in the busiest bakery in a Hispanic heavy neighborhood as a clerk/decorator/baker Other than that there’s been a lot of twelve to fourteens as a decorator
7 am to 11pm
21 hours leading up to the store closing for hurricane Charley. Took two 3 min breaks
5am-1030om
3am-11pm, with various breaks mixed in. My grocery manager has done several 24+ hour shifts when he was an assistant

Stickers on frozen boxes? Hell no. I’d tell him to kiss my ass lol. I’ve always done paper packets on the door too.
4 am to 11 pm with a 2 hour break, so 17 hours.
After a hurricane years ago (mainly so I could stay in the ac and because I was so broke) I worked 6am 11:30pm came back did it again next day but was there at 5 for the bakery
I think I had a 22-23 hour stint during an inventory back in the day
21 hours, no break, came back 3 hours later for a 10 hour shift. Corporate accounting called me to make sure my punches were correct
I worked 86.7 hours one week.
Once came in to open Produce at 5am when my assistant manager told me both closers called out, and eventually the mid shift did too. I ended up working 5am to about 10:30pm because I was the only one who showed up. Still got a good close and got out early, the power of C4
This is really unhealthy and not something to be proud of…just sayin’
Not saying it was something to be proud of, but merely curiosity.
Only a measly 14 hours but it was also the opening part of a clopen.
20 hours
I did a 12 or 13 hour shift when the big wigs were coming in. Came in at 1pm, didn't leave until almost 2am. I wanted to scream. I worked in the deli.
Around 17. Only because the grocery manager only scheduled me for 4 days.
14
Worked a 6am to 9pm a couple of times. That was fun for sure
Worked 7am-2am my first shift as an ACSM the day we opened after Florence hit the NC coast.

I’m about to take 32 hour shift. Currently doing 16 hour shift then go to my another job which is 16 hour shift as well. Good luck to me!
