A little common decency would help ........

I think I should start a club called Publix Deli People, because every time I stand in line at the Deli Counter I meet the nicest people living here and end up having the most interesting conversations ... really every time, where are they when they leave the Deli Counter!

This is priceless. And so true.

Definitely their loss since you have a good sense of humor

Don't let them fool you. I think it's a thinly sliced cold cult, not very friendly at all. I overheard one of them saying that at the next meeting their leader will be there, the Deli Llama. They may have been roll playing.

I do think CFrance has a good point though, in the fact that the Deli area...is a good place to meat new people.

I've always been a hot dog. I'd tell them I'll set my buns down where ever I want. That would put them in a pickle.

good one---if i can be serious for a minute I also noticed how friendly deli people are too---I worked in a deli---it was my first job with working papers---but now that i'm older I get deli stage fright---i stand there, waiting for my turn, rehearsing over and over in my head " a 1/2 a pound of roast beef, a 1/2 a pound of swiss"---how dumb is that?
