all area restaurants that sell deli sandwiches will be required to bring out a slice of meat or cheese and ask the customer if that thickness is to their liking.
Awwwww, that made even this Ukrop’s-skeptic nostalgic.
Don’t they give their employees the day off on their birthdays? That’d be a nice city-wide policy.
Ukrop’s is the Fugazi of Supermarkets.
A statue of bronzed White House rolls. And make them scratch-and-sniff. mmmmm,,,yeast-y
Everyone chip in and buy the Ukrop brothers copies of “American Icon: The Howard Stern Reader ” by John Luerssen.
@Bopst
That made me feel feelings
@ Valerie – yes, they give you $50 and a day off.
good-bye Ukrop’s…
you never offered discounts to senior citizens that helped build & sustain your business and lovingly packed groceries in the slower weekday a.m. hours…
you sold cigs…not alcohol and encouraged people to go to church on Sunday..
you whined about Howard Stern and he lambasted you nicely on air…
and now you play Kajagoogoo and Foghat on your in-store speakers..
nice…
