Thanks for the tip. I’m not in the Midwest but recently had occasion to remotely order a deli platter for relatives in Minneapolis. I spent a lot at a specialty place but probably could have done better at Meijer’s.

Sunday evening I was at the deli in one of the Boca stores and couldn’t believe how slow and disinterested they were. About 8:00pm . . . 10 of us waiting and two of the three behind the counter were processing the phone-in orders and ignoring those of us standing in line.

...

Yep. It’s gotten horrible. The only way to get service is to do your order online. Management has obviously told them to do online orders first.

Classic!
Thanks for sharing! And yes, your Dad was right.

[Moonman62]

Only problem is at EVERY deli of theirs you go to they are purposly slow as molasas in January.
I think they do it on purpose.

....

It is slow on purpose. Online orders are their first priority, now. If you can’t beat them, join them.

[SPI-Man]

Too bad you don’t have a Hy-Vee near you. I am amazed and pleased at how helpful and courteous their employees are. Good training or good selection and maintaining high standards.

In response to the long lines at delis and the attitude at many service industries is the new work ethic of Obama’s transformed Amerika.
“The slower I work the less I have to do”

Unfortunately so...

Another Publix brawl in Florida in July were two white guys.

From all the videos that have come out in the last few years it is definitely a "Florida" problem, but I wouldn't say it is just a "black" problem.

They carry a house brand of beef pastrami that I buy regularly.

Flavorful and tender, it is reminiscent of the stuff I had on several occasions in Manhattan.

I'm glad you offered that because I'm sitting here eating a sandwich with pastrami I purchased from Meijer's yesterday.........LOL!

[SaraJohnson]

Is Publix the new McDonalds?

[ilovesarah2012]

Seems to be. LOL

10 of us waiting and two of the three behind the counter were processing the phone-in orders and ignoring those of us standing in line.

This is very normal for most stores in larger cities. If you for certain want good service at a low cost eatery you will have to go Chik Fil’a. Anywhere else is a crap shoot.

[cornfedcowboy]

Yep. HyVee deli and food service it always good. Food is pretty good too.

"There is a simple reason for all this.....":

Publix Deli Fried Chicken!!!!!

If I was told I had to pick ONE THING to eat for every meal for the rest of my life, without ANY hesitation I would pick Publix Deli fried chicken. The 8pc breaded, the 20pc wings (either breaded or non-breaded) are the BEST I have ever had BAR NONE!!!

I recently was in Ormond Beach for 3 weeks. The ONLY meal that wasn't Publix chicken was breakfast...(well maybe 3-4 were breakfast also....)

I have relatives that visit Florida from Westchester County NY. I have seen them take AT LEAST $50-100 worth of Publix Fried Chicken home with them as they leave.

If someone tried to cut in line or create a "problem" while I was trying to pick up a Publix Fried Chicken order...(as one of my friends would say) ..."it would make your worst nightmare seem like a "happy place"..."

[LRoggy]

Chik Fil’A does not cut Boars Head meats by the half pound . . .

Yeesh.

[Joe Boucher]

Then you get it sliced the way they care to not the way you want

[Joe Boucher]

Man realy likes his chicken.

[HandyDandy]

I’d walk a mile for their key lime pie.

[cornfedcowboy]

Lately I have been appreciating a good Turkey Pastrami. Might want to give it a try next time.
