Agree with previous posters....I order online early in the AM, then we head to breakfast and to Publix after......no deli lines ever again. I only wish the expanded the online ordering, hopefully they will get there. Also wish they had a personal scan system on the carts or an app so we can skip the check out lines.

In fact, some of the small packaged products appear to be healthier than the stuff sold at the deli counter.

Am I missing something?

The line!

Probably because people can......... I'm one of those that stand in line because I like Boar's Head meat products.

What causes the lines are people (mostly men with tan shorts, white tee shirts, black knee high socks, sandals) that order a quarter pound of like 10-15 items and have supper there because they have to sample everything being cut.

Or the lady that orders quarter pound and makes the meat server take off slice cause it was over 1/4 pounds.

Just a couple of random thoughts . . . . .

I would never order fresh food (deli, meats, fruit, vegetables) online. Never!
I want to choose my own and pick my own.
I want to see the deli meats and cheeses cut in front of me.
You just never know . . .

Also, I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference between Boar's Head from Publix brand, or even the various brands from the deli at Walmart.
By the time you choose your bread and add mustard, mayo, Miracle Whip, or whatever your choice is. you would never be able to know which is which.
I have done this "test" on friends and no one can ever tell the difference.
Those who think they can are simply a product of great marketing and advertising.
The difference in price simply isn't worth it.

There is no line for fruits and veggies. There can be a substantial line for deli items. If you know a particular brand/style of lunch meat you are buying, why wouldn’t you order it online and have it waiting for you? I guess jf you prefer looking through the deli glass before you purchase, online ordering wouldn’t work for you. For me, online ordering deli meat from Publix is perfect.

Oh, not nice, but kinda true! In this line of thought, has anyone every noticed the number of people who line up at the area where the lady cooks meals, some of them stay long enough to have their lunch there ....

The line for anything FREE in TV is the longest line in the store.

I haven't tried online ordering yet, but do you have to wait in the deli line to pick it up?

There is no wait. You go to the small refrigerated section beside the deli/sub counter. Your order will be in deli bags, and it will have your name on the bag.
