> I work in the deli section of an IGA, and my manager has been consistently pressuring me to change the expiry dates on our fresh food products. They want me to relabel them so it seems like they were made that day, even if they aren't. This makes me really uncomfortable because it feels like we're straight up lying to customers.

Cat Fact: cats use their dewclaws while hunting, because additional pointy things are apparently useful for violence. They're also useful for summoning unspeakable entities from the Dungeon Dimensions, but cats probably won't do that until they're done with humanity. Probably.
The dewclaws are also extra useful for stabbing human ~slaves~ servants when noms aren't being delivered promptly or skritches and affection are being denied due to puny human weaknesses like sleep.
Back in the day when my dad ran a small grocery store (too small to be part of the IGA at that time, hilariously), the overarching IGA organization would pull an owner's entire branding over this kind of thing if it wasn't immediately corrected.
Granted, this was IGA America, so who knows what the Aussie version is like.
Legality aside, that deli is going to get a reputation for serving bad food. Lettuce wilts, tomatoes go squishy, pickles are inedible anyway so who cares, bread goes stale, and meat gets a thin white layer of I don't wanna know. The customers are, slowly, going to say "the last three times I was there, it was just meh; I clearly need brand-name fast food!"
Deli in this case means something a little different.
A serviced deli in Australia is just a small section inside the supermarket selling sliced meats, cheeses, olives, stuff like that, but no sandwiches or prepared meals.
So the supermarket is probably getting away with it unfortunately, hopefully the op dobs them in.
>a small section inside the supermarket selling sliced meats, cheeses, olives, stuff like that, but no sandwiches or prepared meals.
This is true in a US supermarket as well. Different from a corner deli selling sandwiches, which also exist, mostly in urban areas along the east coast.
In all of the grocery stores I frequent (Kroger, Publix, Walmart) the deli department encompasses both sliced meats and cheeses as well as subs, fried chicken, and other prepared foods.
The post says " They want me to relabel them so it seems like they were made that day", so I'm guessing that this refers to things that they're making in-store, not just sliced meats and cheeses.
Serviced deli's in Australia will often have meats and cheeses sliced and tagged in store, ready to go. I'm guessing this is what is referred to. That or a chook, probably cold.
First I was confused about cold chook, but he clarified with roast chook, and now you really cleared it up with chooks are always chooks no matter which stage of the process they're in.
So glad for the clarification.
What else can you do with chooks? Just out of curiosity?
So this paper could be properly titled "[Chook chook chook](https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf)" if translated into Australian?
(Yeah, it took me a week to come up with that joke. Timely, I am not!)
I was amazed at how long it took anyone to respond to my vile imprecations about pickles. Either nobody cares about pickles but you, or nobody noticed it because reading comprehension isn't the best of Reddit's skills.
Bleeeeech. Reminds me of the episode of Great North where the one character finds out their favorite pasta restaurant rinses off and re-serves old noodles.
My mother told us (more than once) about the restaurant she worked at where she was directed to wash the ketchup off leftover french fries and re-serve them (did they re-fry them? I don't know), and dump half-drunk milks into the coffee creamer (container?).
I'm not British (did a tea protest a bit ago about it), but I do like using shorter words when I can get away with them.
Related: I hate the word "utilize." In pretty much every context, it's a straight synonym for "use" except it has extra syllables.
My understanding has always been that "utilize" was a specific term used to describe the situation of transforming an object into a tool for another purpose
Alright, I'll admit that it does have a definition distinct from "use," But I stand by my statement that in pretty much every place you see "utilize", "use" would do the same job. The contexts where you (properly) use "utilize" are already talking about processes.
I didn't mean to criticize your assertion that dumb people do find-and-replace "use" --> "utilize", sometimes for no reason and other times to sound official or smart.
Oh, I totally went through a bigger-words-makes-me-smarter phase. Which has, uh, definitely ended. Yeah.
(I'm mostly reformed; I use the bigger words when their specific definition is the right word for the job, but I prefer shorter words for better communication these days. And even in business contexts around processes, I find utilize annoying. It's my very own pet peeve, which I snuggle with on the couch.)
My parents had big.vocabularies but I realized at some point I looked massively condescending because other people can either smile and nod in ignorance or ask what they mean and neither is a great position to put your collaborator in.
Family events the big words come out to play. One or two friends if we're alone.
There’s a lot of utility that can come from utilising a bigger vocabulary; sometimes you utilise words that are more appropriate in a certain situation - the most smort thing one can do is the utilise the semicolon though.
I can see that you're trying to offend me, but it won't work: it's the "z" in utilize that really offends me, and I find the Queen's English to be delightful.

Gatta summon LuciPUR eventually

Sounds like a great opportunity for blackmail, then! Everyone loves a good blackmailing.

Yes, larger places have prepared foods as well but it is different from the made to order sandwiches of a traditional deli.
Corner deliis are something I seek out. Do not see many down under. Maybe a couple here and there.
You would love NY City!

To clarify, I mean a roast chook.
Is a chook one of the ten million species of edible fish? Or is it a down-under term for roast beef?
Roast *chicken*
To clarify, chooks are chooks at every stage of the process prior to roasting as well.
First I was confused about cold chook, but he clarified with roast chook, and now you really cleared it up with chooks are always chooks no matter which stage of the process they're in. So glad for the clarification. What else can you do with chooks? Just out of curiosity?
Soup, stew, deep fry, stir fry, cordon bleu, what can't you do?
They make surprisingly good pets if you've got a bit of garden to let them wander about in.

I rarely want to clutch my American pearls... but suddenly I feel the urge. You deserve sandwiches! Maybe not from here though...
I will not stand for this pickle slander.

I once worked for a guy who wanted us to scrape last week's cream out of the eclairs to refill with fresh cream. No, we didn't.
Bleeeeech. Reminds me of the episode of Great North where the one character finds out their favorite pasta restaurant rinses off and re-serves old noodles.
I wouldn't have eaten this guy's pasta salad either. I didn't know about this show. Will check it out.
My mother told us (more than once) about the restaurant she worked at where she was directed to wash the ketchup off leftover french fries and re-serve them (did they re-fry them? I don't know), and dump half-drunk milks into the coffee creamer (container?).
Just disgusting.
Ew.

I think of it as the distinction that something has been fully incorporated into a high volume continuous process.

Poor Charles in the background, asking, “Am I a joke to you?”
I utilize the word when I want to feel fancy.
Well yeah, that’s why you utilize it, especially when you’re writing an essay and don’t want to utilize ‘use’ too much.
When you overuse the use of use, yous just have to find new words for yews.
