When faced with the problem of whether to use the near queue or the far queue, consider carefully which to take.
Regards,

Totally incompetent, from the top down.

We had a bit of trouble with prosciutto amongst other things when we first came down here but about 2 years ago someone opened up a proper deli in town. Up until then, the "deli" was a sandwich shop.
But at least there was never a queue
It's very cosmopolitan around here - a lot of retired snobs from Melbourne who are 'used' to things. I suppose they have their uses, when it was all truck drivers, fishermen and farmers, if you asked for prosciutto they'd all think you were a poof, whether they knew what it was or not."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

A true 'poof' is a swaggie with champagne corks on his hat.

at least the good old five star has prosciutto etc (surprised me when they started selling all that fancy foreign stuff...what were they thinking!), might not have a huge range like woolies but it always has the essentials...and if a queue looks like starting they call up other staff pretty quickly!

Don't know why you queue. Just walk away and go somewhere else. I wouldn't queue up for a night with Angie Jolie - well not for long, anyway.
Regarding Coles, it's not the staff, its the management that's incompetent. The Idiot Child works there part time whilst she begins the HSC. The stories she tells. Shes still waiting for her group certificates as Coles changed payroll providers last year and the old ones are on a no-talkies basis.
Woolies is so far infront, and I have a swag of Coles stock too.
Thank God for those un-suspecting Seppo investors!Bodgy

Inside info, & this is 'good old country service'... you can ring up & order your meat to be sliced before 5pm & pick it up before 6pm.
PS. If you want prosciutto, tell them to cut it reeeeaaallllyyy thin.Cliff.
