Why Line Up For Processed Meat?
 
I shop at Publix a lot, and there are always people standing in line at the deli counter to have prepackaged, processed meat and cheese sliced and wrapped for them. But, I have found that you can buy basically the same type of products off the shelf already packaged. In fact, some of the small packaged products appear to be healthier than the stuff sold at the deli counter. Am I missing something?

Yep 3 slices of cheese opposed to 12 ounces

I look for what's 1/2 price that week.
That's usually behind the counter. I like how they put paper between the slices too.

My guess the person behind the counter always asks ....Would you like a sample....always, yes always the reply " Yes " and the person chomps away usually with their mouth wide open.

Disgusting. :rant-rave:

That is disgusting. I usually put the piece of meat in my pocket and save it for later.

Because you meet the nicest people in line at the deli counter.

I do that also and if I forget it's in my pocket and run it through the washer/dryer...I just sprinkle it into a casserole.


My favorite trick though, is to take numerous tickets from the ticket machine...all at one time.

I had one lady complain about it and then I asked her, "so do you really think that is going to make any difference...on where you are in line?"




:D

That is the only thing I don't like about Publix, it takes forever to get to that counter but they do have good meats.
