Be cordial. Nice. Patient. Understanding. Don't get anal over your cheese being sliced to thin, or how it looks in the bag or if it's a little over/under weight. Also don't get pissed at us if we don't know where the pop tarts or chicken liver is because that's not our department—we're confined to a fifteen foot corridor for over seven hours each day. Last, refrain from using the phrase, "This is a SALE!!!" in a sarcastic context, then complaining to the deli clerk over the price. Complain to our CEO's, or the lunch meat company CEO's, or the cheese company CEO's that create the prices.
Most of us get paid 40 cents above minimum wage (except an extra dollar on sunday.) And we carry knives and box cutters on us at all time. ALL THE TIME.
Just remember anyone can snap and kill you in a multiple of ways at anytime, anywhere. But if you follow these guidelines at a deli you should survive and avoid any cases of biological warfare which could arise from improper deli etiquette.
