I haven't had much luck with grocery store delis. Today, I went to the local Food Lion (which I don't go to much), and went to the deli.

I asked for 3/4lbs. Wunderbar Bologna, sliced thin please.
- "The what?"
- "The Wunderbar German Bologna"
- "Huh?"
- "That german bologna, right there" ::points::

So she gets it. She opens it up, and the phone rings. She has to leave, so she instructs the other deli employee. "3/4 pound, thin"

The next employee asks me, "a pound hon?"
- "No, 3/4ths please"
- "Ok"

She slices it, rings it up, gives it to me. 1 solid pound. Sliced thick. >_<

I go and ask for 3/4lbs. Land-O-Lakes White American cheese, sliced thin.
"You know that's a soft cheese", she says in response to my thin request.
"That's ok"
"A pound then?"
"no, 3/4ths please"

So she slices it, and I get the bag. 0.84lbs, again sliced thick. >_<

Yeah, this happens, but god damn it, it happens to me nearly every god damn time I go to the deli. I've had crap experience with pretty much every deli down here in MD. The delis up in Rochester weren't that good either.

Now, this would upset me as a standard consumer to start off with. However, I worked in a deli for a summer. It's not a hard god damn job. You slice meat with a machine, and weigh it. It's NOT HARD.

This makes me either want to open my own GD deli, "The Competent Deli", or become a Deli manager. Or just freak out next time I get horrid service.

And I leave you with a fun cheese label from SuperFresh last week, where the woman was a complete bitch (and I complained at the counter).

OMGWTFLOL!

Mood: >_<
