Deli Counter

[Anonymous No.18291484]

I got an interview for the deli counter at the local grocery store that's across the street in 2 days. Do I just slice meat all day? The lady told me theyd teach me everything I need to know but whats that mean. I thought all their junk was premade at the big chains.

Well why don't you go there and buy something and see for yourself. Think of it as an audit.

Don't Anon

Worst position in the store except maybe dairy/frozen.

I know this is a German Engineering Drafting Meeting, but ANYTHING would be better than that hell.

Slice meat,take temps, wash slicer components and any dishes. Stock whatever the department carries.

At all my local stores they usually have deli counter also run the fryers, make all the fried foods, make sandwiches/salads/sushi/any premade store meal they sell.

My store has a separate hot foods section,we aren't a big enough location to justify sushi.

does your store sell premade sandwiches/cold meals? Do they make sandwiches to order if someone asks for one?

[Anonymous No.18293468]

>>18291484
yeah and you get to work next to the sluttiest girls in the store, congrats but try not to stick your dick in the first one that gives you attention unless you wanna be eskimo bros with all the dudes there.

>sell premade sandwiches/cold meals?
Yes,used to have a small soup bar before covid.
>Do they make sandwiches to order if someone asks for one?
That we don't. We do offer deli trays for parties and whatnot. But people mostly come in for the fried chicken.

Mostly this. Also, clean, deal with throwaways, and dealing with all the trannies you work with.

They ask because hoards of you retards will yell and piss and shit if it's not within a quantum of your preferred thickness, and they just want to get a head of it.

If you think any of that is difficult you're exactly the kind of person that gets hired at the deli counter.

[Anonymous No.18293625]

>>18293586
It's not about being difficult it's about being smart when picking these low skill low wage jobs.

If the average cashiers job is to work register, stock items, and clean the floor but the average deli counters job is to cut meat/prep food/make food/temp items/work fryer/serve food/clean all food related stations then there is no reason to work a "harder" job requiring some modicum of low skill for the same pay.
These jobs are all shit pay, never work harder than you need to.

You should only work hard for real jobs or real pay, this is how people get trapped in the cycle of working hard for shit jobs and get stuck.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA Holy shit I wish. Every cashier at my store is useless and can't even be bothered to do the cashier cashiering part right. Bunch of high-school twats who can't put their fucking phones down for a fucking minute

Very much so. Doesn't help that the front end managers have been dogshit tier the past way too many years
>inb4 why don't you do it
They cannot pay me enough to be a glorified babysitter.

What ever you do don't work in the bakery. If they make you work the night before taking out all the frozen dough for the morning prep, holy shit does it suck working in the freezer all night. Plus if they don't train you right, morning will bitch that your not doing your job right, and they will keep training you wrong.

Fucking this. Buddy has worked in delis for a while now at two different major chains and at both places the deli was always the very last department anyone would want to work in because of the workload. Prepare to deal with droves of complete bottom-rung stupid customers too, you’re gonna get the absolute lowest common denominator up there asking you the most retarded questions and making beyond shitty requests every couple minutes when you’re working the counter. What’s worse is that while that’s going on they’re going to be treating you like shit, like you owe them something. That’s just how it is working in grocery store delis, you just have to deal with it and take shit from meth heads and yokels.

Never heard a damn complaint when going to an Italian supermarket (in Italy). Their prosciutto cotto and prosciutto puts anything France can produce to shame and they always cut it paper-thin, quickly, while retaining the shape of the slice.
I think the secret is in keeping the blades as sharp as what the rules of physics will allow.
