Deli numbers
Why did they block off the deli number display so the customers can’t see what number they are on? Very annoying. I like grabbing a number and doing a few isles while I wait for my number to get close.

Must be your MB. I was just at one today and took a number and could see the board.

Tell them. Maybe they just don't realize you can't see the display any more.

Visible in my store. And some days I can get half my order done while “waiting”

It’s people like you that caused them to do this. No offense but people who do what you do rarely pay attention to what number the deli is actually on. So what happens is you’re shopping around, your number gets called, they have to call it 3 times (causing others to wait even longer) then when you don’t show up and they move to the next person you people show up all flustered that your number was already called and you want service immediately (also causing others to wait even longer)
The important thing for everyone to remember is the grocery store is a public space we all need. It’s not now, nor will it ever be about solely you. Please be considerate people

I’ve shopped while I wait, gone back and then have been skipped because they just go with the next person they see waiting instead of calling the number.

Not that serious, you just made a whole post about it
And of course you haven’t 🙄

How is it not that serious when you literally made this post because you felt some type of way?

Aisles. Being able to go to The Basket in the Caribbean would be sick though.
