Customers would come back after ordering a $40 cake, and while yes, they ate it, they did not like it. The clientele was extremely snobby entitled and the store management enabled them for the sake of keeping their business. One of store managers was extremely demeaning and kind of sexist.

Most of their part-time employees are on their parents' insurance anyway, and what kind of family-centered company would want to deny someone coverage that actually needed it. Even though for some reason, in the deli, the threshold was 30 hours, which makes no sense. I worked around 25 hours a week and before by hours were suddenly cut to about 15 hours, which they explained that I wouldn't work so much that they would have to provide benefits.

They will move onto the next order while still having the meats and cheeses out on the wrapping table. The last part almost all of the workers aside from 2 never do this. Lets say the task is to first take an order, then search out the components to the order, assemble the order, then wrap up the meats and/or cheeses that were used to complete the order.
