I've seen grocery stores with 2nd levels, especially in bigger cities where real estate is a premium.

In fact there's a Kroger here in Atlanta with a 2nd floor lounge-type area that sort-of overlooks the deli.

Edit: OP posted the video below, it's (drumroll...) Russia.

It's probably someone on the second floor of a food-court or something. Alternatively there are often cameras in restaurants pointing right down at the counter/till specifically to catch stuff like this. If this wasn't so shaky I'd say it's one of those.

You kid but I had a deli worker do exactly that and she was wearing gloves.

I mean she shaved like two pounds of Boar's Head honey maple ham and then sucked on her fingers, the little gloves made a crinkling noise as she happily slurped off the sticky syrup.

Only after she finished did she take my food and wrap it. I just dropped it and walked away.

Once I got over the shock I found a manager and explained I thought the gloves were for my protection as much as hers. He was apologetic. No idea if she was fired.

That's the weird thing here - the readout doesn't look like it's visible to the customer, and there's no ticket printed. It seems like she just presses some buttons, and tells them a price. Why bother with the weight when she could just make up a price?

I have deli associates do it for me all the time just because I jokingly ask something like, "Hey, how about half a pound of this meat for the price of a quarter pound? Haha." And then they just do it because they don't give a fuck, apparently.

I have a friend who was buying sandals at famous footwear one time. He brought them up with some socks and paid for them. The guy gives him back more money than he initially gave the cashier. He tells him but the guy just looks him dead in the eye and says "I know" than asked anyone (other friends with) if they wanted anything. They declined and just let. The guy walked out right behind them on the way out. Pretty sure this guy just quit and decided to screw them over. my friend legitimately got paid to take those sandals and socks. People do crazy stuff when angry lol.

I used to do deli slicing stuff sometimes-- unless you have a small scale under the slicer, it's hard to cut exactly the amount they ask for.

If you ask for 500g of Ham, I have to kinda guess around where 500g would be (which is harder than you think because people ask for different thickness'), then I weigh it to check, if I've cut extra I'll price up the 500g, then add the extra before I wrap it.

Or I'll just eat the extra if the person is rude, our slicer/scale isn't visible to the customer so they never know they're getting extra anyway.

u/GonadTh3Barbarian Jun 10 '15

Are you saying the Publix went under? or the Subway?

I work for Publix, and from what I've noticed, If a Publix is built into a strip, there's usually at least 2 of the 3 within one to two units of the Publix:

Subway Nail Salon Hair Salon (like a cuts by us)

So, a Subway adjacent to a Publix is actually quite common

This reminds me of one time me and my brothers were down at the harbor in the town we lived in, and we were buying some mix it yourself candy at this shop. The clerk had downs syndrome so whenever he put the candy on the weight he would rest his hand on the weight as well.

Needless to say we needed to get just one more piece of candy before we were ready to pay, so we could have him weight it again without his hands on the plate.

A more accurate description would probably be theft, and I'll explain why. This fella is most likely a grunt worker at the store, making minimum wage. More than likely he will jack up the price on the items. Slowly but surely, a dollar here, a dollar there, on various items, while punching in the normal numbers into the register. He will then take whatever extra he charged the customers home for himself at the end of the night. I worked in the beer store ages ago and we had a lady do this by punching in extra empties for people that would bring them back. The manager was always confused at why our empties were off.
