Miss Vicki celebrates 25 years at Publix

When Vicki Workman was looking for a job 25 years ago, the manager at the Publix on Longboat Key said she could be hired in a heartbeat. Fast forward to present day and Workman, known to locals as Miss Vicki, just celebrated her 25th anniversary with Publix. For 23 years, Workman (pictured above with husband, George) worked in the produce department, but she now works in the bakery department. The store celebrated Miss Vicki’s anniversary Feb. 27 with a cake, surprise party and a certificate.
