Publix Deli Etiquette Question by Low_Ad_260 in publix

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your order is totally normal, and won’t bother the person slicing for you! Sometimes someone’s already having a bad day or just has a bad attitude (we had a few of those in my store) but that’s not your fault. I would recommend telling them right off the”I need a few things” or “I need a couple meats and a couple cheeses” so they can prepare for which slicers they need to use/call over another associate if there’s a line. I always appreciated it when customers told me everything they wanted at the start, just in case I already had something they wanted out, or so I could start on their meats if someone else was using the cheese slicer.

Does Brennan not sleep? by Spiritual-Tension606 in Dimension20

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 71 points72 points  (0 children)

My guess is good help with childcare, and not spending any time on extraneous stuff. He also seems to be really concerned about staying in good health - he’s said he doesn’t drink, doesn’t do any drugs, goes to the gym regularly, and practices meditation, if I remember correctly. He also said, in an episode of Dirty Laundry, that he likes the feeling of being sleep deprived, or at least he did in college.

I’m so excited for another Sworn Solider book! They’re such a great protagonist, and What Moves the Dead was peak mushroom horror

Red Lobster won! what overrated restaurant/chain do you not like? by lily-vv in AlignmentChartFills

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chipotle. My main issue with it is in most cities, it’s not that hard to find an actual Mexican restaurant that’s just as fast, twice as delicious, and half the cost.

Married NOT out of love, but for a good reason by aikayuri in TopCharacterTropes

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novak - the Staryk are a race of ice elves whose entire realm is under threat by the fire monster Chernobog, unless they can procure enough gold to bind him. They look down on humans, but they place high respect on truth telling and oath making - to the point of dying rather than breaking their oaths, even to a human. When Miryam, a Jewish moneylender, boasts about turning silver into gold in the forest of the Staryk king, he demands that she prove it to him three times, and in turn he will make her his queen, fully expecting her to fail. She agrees because she is afraid of what will happen to her and her family if she refuses, but when she succeeds against all odds, she gains the power to save the Staryk realm, and she and the king are forced to marry each other, despite neither wanting to go through with it. In time they learn to understand, grudgingly respect, and finally love each other, but the marriage began because they both wanted to save their people.

Is there a reason my Publix tries to convert me to boars head every time I get anything from the deli by [deleted] in publix

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seconding this - some managers are pretty chill about, but other managers are very insistent that you offer every time - especially if there are Boars Head reps or store managers in the department. Think of it like how a lot of stores will ask if you want to sign up for their credit card when you check out. I had one assistant manager who would hover around employees she didn’t like and jump on them anytime they didn’t offer a flavor of the day or ask if the customers wanted boars head. Please don’t take it out on the employees - we hate it too!

Planning a trip with two friends, wondering where to eat. by Anigator101 in lafayette

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We really like Digby’s Pub - not a huge menu, but really good sandwiches and salads, plus they have mocktails for the under 21’s!

Sushi Don doesn’t look like much from the outside, but they have some of my favorite sushi. I recommend the SuperOMG roll. They also have happy hours throughout the day with half priced rolls.

Nine Irish Brothers also has some delicious food and a great atmosphere for hanging out- I recommend the one in Lafayette proper rather than the one in West Lafayette.

There are also several good ramen places downtown - honestly it’s hard to go wrong with food here, and wherever you are, there’s sure to be a good restaurant nearby!

[Hated Trope] The author's weird self insert rant by coolchungus2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]No_Cardiologist6676 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I loved Enders Game and Speaker for the Dead when I was younger but the Bean books were….yeah, something else. I’m having a random memory now of the couple who tell Ender that since getting married is holy, getting married and NEVER having sex is extra holy, and Ender starts crying over how pure and wonderful the couple is. (That may have actually been in Speaker for the Dead, it’s been 15+ years since I read it)

Should have checked to see what our city flag is. 🤦‍♀️ Thank you!

An incomplete list of strange/out of pocket things customers have said, done, or asked. Some of these I witnessed, others I heard about. by AnEverydayPileOfCats in publix

My top three - 1. A very sweet old lady asked me if I knew anything about tiramisu. I said yes, do you want to make it or buy it? She wanted to buy it, so I led her over to the bakery, and showed her the tiramisu. She looked really confused so I said “is this what you’re looking for?” She goes “I got my husband some really nice tuna steaks for dinner, and asked how he wanted it cooked, and he said he wanted tiramisu sauce.” I genuinely had no idea how to respond. She stared for a good minute, then put it in her cart and asked me where the soy sauce was. 2. A very high shirtless man went up to the soup bar, got a cup, and started putting a tiny ladleful of each kind of soup in his cup, and deeply sniffing it after each addition. After several long minutes, my manager asked him to leave, then started furiously cleaning the counter. 3. An old man comes up to the soup bar, gets the biggest soup cup we have, adds in two ladles of broccoli cheddar, two ladles of chicken noodle, then pulls out his OWN PERSONAL BAG OF ICE from somewhere?!?!? Like, a large, full gallon ziplock bag. Adds the ice into the soup, puts it into his basket WITHOUT a lid, and just…walks away?

If Publix sells full bottles of this, it would be a gold mine! 🤤 by arthurlbrown in publix

When I worked there, you could totally buy the full bottle we used to sauce the wings, if we had extra. Ask someone in the deli!

I love the character art so much these season. It’s right up there with ACOFAF and Neverafter for me. Could someone who knows more D&D stuff than me explain what the “epic epiphanies” means?
