This has been coming for about a month now after a month of unprofessional behavior from this deli. It's February 14th 2023 as I post this.
Roughly a month ago there was a moron that could not make a damn sandwich and kept asking if I wanted to add mayonnaise and mustard to my sandwich at each step of the process literally before it even went into the toaster oven. I asked him to stop at the third time he asked me but he could not take instructions. I made sure he heard me too made direct eye contact and everything. If you see a roughly six foot doughy white kid with glasses your better off not wasting your lunch break trying to order a damn fresh sandwich because the moment he takes it our of the toaster oven he'll drop it on the counter where it falls apart and he tries to stick it back together. He wasn't even being malicious he was just stupid.
Another time I got this really good broccoli cheddar macaroni and cheese at the soup service area, I come back a few times and can't seem to find it again (they just keep serving Chicken noodle and chicken and wild rice at the same time for some god forsaken reason it's the same damn soup stop it!) so I ask when it will be served again since It's been almost a week and I can't find it. Instead of getting a definite answer I'm directed to look at the board (this is roughly a week and a half ago) I see it's supposed to be on Wednesday and Saturday so I wait till the next Wednesday around 9am it's not served but I decide to go to the area where they keep the normal macaroni and cheese and to get a container of it for lunch later. I'm told they will be there in a second; there are three of them in the front of the deli and one in the back and they aren't serving anyone else. I'm on a 15 min break I wait five and I have to leave. Priorities, your static work will be there after you serve a customer.
Today 2/14/23 I go in to get some Chili and ask why the broccoli mac wasn't in on saturday either, and I'm told they permanently removed it from the menu in a brisk tone. Taken a bit aback I look to the soups but there is no Chili, no instead they have Chicken noodle, Chicken and wild rice (mosty water though) Wild rice and vegetable (good to see another duplicate soup *sarcasm. Though the "soup" was so dried out it was almost a vegetable rice cake) and a Trunkey sausage and kale monstrosity that smelt so bad I nearly vomited. Whoever is in charge of the soup menu needs to be taken aside by the store manager as this California menu bs needs to stop, chili is supposed to be every day for this reason. And if it's the Store Manager doing this, why? Are you trying to alienate a solid percentage of your customers by serving only really gross health food?
TLDR Dumass sandwich makers, lying deli workers who also can't be bothered to prioritise customers and a lack of variety in soups.
The cashiers and sample people are always kind and helpful tho, got talked into some really good all natural mini blueberry muffins by a nice old man. Good purchase they were very tasty. read more
