THE BEST DELI PERSON EVARRRR

So after work, I stopped by at Dominion to buy some meat and fish products...lately, I have been super busy that I do not get to sit and enjoy my breakfast as I used to...no time for an omelette or crepes from in the morning, but it is important to have a good balanced breakfast to start off my day, so the sandwich meat has been quite handy (making sandwiches or place ham and cheese on crackers for snack).

The deli section of the grocery store was super busy, so I must have waited like 10 minutes before the deli person, a mid 50s old gentleman who looked like a type that would be seen in Harry Potter stories, was able to assist me.

He finally came at front of me and goes: "thank you for your patience and how may I assist with you today?"

I: "Can I get 100 gram of Havarti cheese sliced?"
He sliced the cheese and weighed it in the scale, and the scaled showing "154 gram".
He took the cheese off the scale, and punched *-54* and then placed the cheese back on the scale. Bingo! now that the scale was showing "100 gram", exactly what I asked for.
He put the sticker on the envelop containing 154 gram of Havarti cheese and said: "Thank you for stopping over at the deli section of Dominion. You have a great evening, madam".

He actually helped me with my cooked smoked chicken as well (putting a sticker saying 150 gram on my 180 gram of chicken").. I thought this was very amusing as hell. Did not know what to think of it. He probably did not want to put the sliced meat or cheese back in the fridge cause it goes into the garbage or get rotten having nobody want to buy such slice after someone else anyway, you know? So yeah, it indeed was very smart and generous of him to scam the system and provide me what I exactly ask for. LOL

I tell my dad the same thing when prepring dishes at his restaurant. Since the appearance of each dish is important, we can not overdo things. But if it does not go over the boundary, I (and my grandma) encourage my dad to put more carp sashimi fish on a dish, if we know that it will go into his stomach or someone else's (imagine or not, sometime, our crow pet even gets to eat left over carp fish. LOL).

Anyway, he made my dad :D
