We are on our feet from 6 to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. If we look
tired, most likely we are tired.
We do NOT get a lunch break, even though we would probably fall asleep
during any break we get.
A Deli Clerk is the hardest job in the Supermarket. We are all
departments rolled into one.
If you treat us like The Help, we are gonna treat you like The Customer.
You don't want that? Be friendly towards us and we will return the
feeling.
Don't know what to eat, ask us, we HAVE TO taste evrything in the deli
EVERYDAY !!
Out side the store..we are NOT paid to be social with you, but we will
and do say hello.
Yes, we wash our hands more times a day than you think.
We wonder what happened to the days of standing and conversating with us
while we sliced your order for you.
If you approached the counter talking on your cell phone, we will wait
until your conversating is finished, then talk your order.
A ham and cheese sandwich is more complicated than you think. What type
of ham, what type of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc ?
Sometimes we can't remember what we did 20 minutes ago, so how do you
expect us to remember you from 2 days ago when something went wrong with
your order?
As a deli clerk, we don't set the prices, the owner or store manager
does, see them if you think we are over charging you.
We don't understand the concept of getting you ham 'shredded', never
haved, and never will.
When you ask for paper in between your slices of cheese, you will be
charge for the weight of the paper, its not our call to charge you, but
you ask for it.
The deli is a fun place to work, so we try to have fun everyday.
We know a lot about food, more than you think, just ask us.
Even though I'm slicing your order, I 'thinking' about things I have to
do, sometimes 5 to 6 things so if we look like we are not here, we are,
but we are doing something else.
Believe it or not, we enjoy our job, its fun and we meet people
everyday.
