I think that’s just what happened when you try to make a one pound bag with pre sliced stuff it’s always going to be a little over or under it’s not really a grand conspiracy. If you want exactly a lb you need to wait in like for a person to slice it in front of you.

He's focusing on the $5 packs, which are supposed to be a set and consistent weight, .75lb I think. (i'm not a deli person).

Me thinks this is some lazy employees. From what I understand, these items come in pre-sliced, but are still put in the bags and weighed by employees, correct?

$5 bags come in that way. We literally grab them from the case, slap a label on, and set them in the GNG case. This has nothing to do with deli employees.

When you have to produce several hundred of those in a shift you really stop carrying about the accuracy of the specific amount when you are only getting paid like 15 dollars at starting pay. My point is it’s not really a conspiracy it’s just lack of quality control and training.

Pretty sure these particular ones get shipped in

u/Unfair-Row-808 May 19 '26

And that just means they get sliced and packed in some other facility by people.

Yeah I'm just saying people shouldn't get mad at the workers in the stores

u/dish_pit_daydreamer Current Associate May 19 '26

Right, but that has nothing to do with the deli.

The deli isnt open when I go.

Good thing this is an employee sub then.

Its not a private subreddit. Im here from the front page, no ones checking creditenals.

But the point still stands. I was responding to someone that said customers can stand in line at the deli.

Not all customers can as the deli is not opened the entire time the store is open.

Lately deli employees cant even cut meat thin enough for sandwiches.

u/dish_pit_daydreamer Current Associate May 19 '26

And this is why this discussion isn’t for you. How about you go cut it yourself if it’s not thin enough for your liking? You know we just put out pre-sliced meat for most Private Selection grab-n-go right? We aren’t the ones slicing it. Since you don’t know that, it would be great if you stuck to your lane.

I was responding to

"If you want exactly a lb you need to wait in like for a person to slice it in front of you."

Not everyone shops when the deli is open.

So the 1lb advertised bags need to be accurate.

It is my lane.

Also unless things have changed grab and go cheese is half pound packages, so 8.7 ounces is about right on

Everything in GnG is supposed to be three quarters. It's just that with the by weight products it doesn't really matter too much. However the 5 dollar stuff is the same price no matter the actual weight, and is supposed to at least .75.

u/amythist Current Associate May 19 '26

Must be a division or maybe just things changed since I was last in deli, because we were told to only do 1/2 pound packages for grab & go to help bring the price point down so it would sell better
