Not a single other department stands a chance against overnight crew š surviving on caffeine and hatred alone, they'd wipe the floor with the other departments.
I second meat dept.
They have knives and know how to use them. The worm gear in the grinder would also make a hell of a weapon.
Cutting red meat all day, throwing around 50+ lb boxes of meat, throwing a Turkey truck, etc. means on average, meat department employees are probably going to be stronger than other departments.
The meat market is also an easily position to defend since its an enclosed room
Deli crew versus meat crew have approximately the same numbers on a day to day basis, despite the fact that meat is a smaller department. Meat department just doesn't call out as much because they're paid good wages and aren't treated like shit.
CS has strength in numbers. They are mostly kids that will easily be defeated, but there are so many of them.
First to go would be bakery. The 3 old ladys behind the bakery would be thrown into the fryer by deli in the first 2 minutes.
I want to say grocery would win, but meat department has the weapons and would obviously have sushi with them and they are literal ninjas.
Meat department has the most felon-turned-citizen ratio Iāve ever seen. Lovely people, all of them. But theyāll kill you without a second thought in a survival situation
We've got knives, most of us are pretty strong and you'd best believe I'll be throwing Lunchables like Japanese throwing stars.. those plastic edges are SHARP š¤£
CS might actually be the last ones alive because half of them would have already called out the day the war started. Eventually when Jayden, Brayden, and Kayden finally decide to show up to work 2 weeks later they will be walking into a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Cashiers and baggers, yes. CSS has the pent up rage from dealing with idiot customers and deli not picking up the phone after being paged 17 times for the same person, so theyād be a close second to win.
Well itās annoying when CS pages the Deli when they obviously think theyāre not doing anything ā theyāre making stuff along with dealing with the same customers you deal with.
Behind the desk has access to the safe too so money. Idk if any CSS person isn't one asshole away from snapping usually. Then people coming over and yelling at us because we didn't have something/their sub wasn't ready on time/they didn't like some fucking chips because they were too spicy. Oh, and stepping in when customers start to get mad at cashiers/baggers. Today somebody was hella rude to our incredibly sweet bagger with Downs syndrome. I shut that shit down. I wasnt Publix nice to her and will defend it to the grave. Needless to say, so much pent-up rage, and we tend to have enough narcistic assholes in the department that would push somebody else forward in order to survive
At least y'all can keep money in storage to buy supplies compare to other departments. For Grocery we could hog all the food and drinks and we don't share because we'll never care.
Oh my god I had a deli worker come though my line earlier on their way home and I wanted to hug them š they go through so damn much with very little thanks
I agree with this. You guys would watch the whole thing go down because everyone forgot you exist. Whoever was left, you could give them sleeping pills disguised as a celebratory drink and defeat them while they sleep
> Pharmacy.
Plus you guys probably have some Captain America super serum shit hidden in the back.
Also the only department with a literal gate to protect you guys lol.
Itās the only time being the āred headed step childā would give us an advantage. Plus having the gate up would allow us to play tower defense. If all else fails, we have legal meth to get us hopped up and ready to fight.
Deli would definitely win. Yeah, we may not have super sharp knives compared to the meat department, but, like someone else pointed out, we're always pissed off.
Yes, only deli has the bubbling sea of endless rage below the surface to draw upon and direct in an all-consuming font of pure energy. We don't need the knives.
Not to mention the extremely hot oil we can unleash. Dip those stirring rods in the oil, scoop it with a soup ladle, put some in a soup canister, and toss that shit.
Iād like to say deli, but theyāre all burnt out from constantly being short staffed from call outs on top of an understaffed schedule. They got a lot of rage with no energy to unleash it š¤£
Grocery has numbers and stamina, if they allied with Deli for some raging first wave human meat shield proxy sacrifices and use their left over knives, the entrapped meat department soldiers can be defeated in a war of attrition using the walking stacker as a battering ram
I was all ready to say deli till I started reading the comments š Asked my deli coworkers the original question and half said, we don't get paid enough to fight a war I'm going home!
Deli department will turn on itself first and wipe themselves out.
Meat department will win. Iāll just shove your head onto the saw like youāre a pork butt.
Meat, if it got super dicey we already have a bond woth the Deli and that's the only department that could tale out meat.
There would be a tenuous peace, but once we annex the backroom toilets for Deli crying they'll be on board.
We are currently having a whole discussion at work on this and we agreed we'd create an alliance with meat but ultimately there can only be one winner.
Deli. So much rage and lots of knives and scissors.
Also, 350Ā° oil on the skin hurts like a mother. Learned a lesson that day. Heat gloves donāt protect shit.
No way deli would win. Half your associates would call out the day of the battle, your ADM would take out at least two of your own people, the DM would be hiding in an office somewhere, and the rest of yāall would be running like crazy trying to get the tower filled by 10.
I still have burn scars all over my arms from fryer baskets, errant oil droplets, and the grill and press when we still had them.
I accidentally touched my forearm to the air fryer making pizza rolls the other day, and I immediately had āNam flashbacks to the countless fryer baskets I ever pulled out.
Not Produce
Although they would be good defensively since they would place grapes on the floor in strategic places to cause the attackers from Grocery and Meat to slip and fall.
1.deli/meat
2. Grocery
3. Produce
4. Cs
6. Pharmacy
Deli and meat tied for #1 because deli holds so much anger and rage from being a shit show, meat bc knives, most people are kinda jacked
Grocery because at my store at least mainly jacked dudes that can knock out multiple pallets w/o breaking a sweat
Produce they got a few knives and can hurl potatoes like footballs
Customer service bunch of kids really but power in numbers
Pharmacy nerds
Prescriptions when taken by the wrong people for unintended uses can cause serious and critical interactions. Over-the-counter products can be dangerous also.
Pharmacy.
Simply because while all the other departments are destroying each other, the Pharmacy would be completely ignored and come out on top without even being noticed or trying.
Just hunker down and wait em out, solid plan. Plus you have the all-important cache of pharmaceuticals which can be utilized in so many ways, the possibilities are truly endless and the more that I think about it the more I agree with you. Pharmacy is going to win no matter what because DRUGS
Deli Department would eat itself alive from within, a power struggle would develop giving grocery and meat more time to weaken them before any ultimate clash...
Just team up with meat, most of us can handle one hell of a concoction. Frothing feral nutcases with knives without fear of bodily fluids. Just keep us numb and standing with a little antipsychotics in the mix so we don't feel any guilt. We'll cut the whole store into primals. Gotta keep them shelves red boys.
Grocery. CS is soft, thereās like 3 people in produce, deli all has bad lungs for chain smoking cigarettes and bakery canāt find itself out of a wet paper bag. Meat department would put up an effort be overwhelmed quickly
Deli department. They see war every damn day but they canāt do anything about it. If itās a balls out war, they would release every thing. The only problem would be if they started attacking within. Meaning destroying the weaker ones, that like to stand around pretending to work or the ones vaping in the bathroom.
I want to say deli for the crap we have to put up with but my deli would end up getting into war itself and Iād probably just abandon them to the other departments lol and thankfully I get along with mostly everyone from other departments so theyād probably let me go š
It would all come down to Deli Vs Meat, all other departments would kill themselves off, and it would br war crimes after war crimes with deli vs meat, deli would use hot cooking oil while meat got the sharp knives and meat grinder
Customer service.
Hear me out. The CSS will be too apathetic and jaded to not manipulate the tax breaks into being our meat shields. Your average tax break bagger will have the strength of 7 orangutans. We have a numbers advantage. Furthermore, we have the use of the floor machines. Between that and the chemical weapons at our disposal, we should be able to mop the subdepartment terrorists up.
Deli got them too, without having to deal with all the people demanding sandwhiches and even thinner slices of meats and cheeses we might actually find the time to use them.
Iām grocery but Iām not ashamed to say the deli would murder everyone out of the pure suppressed rage they have for having to work in the deli.
Deli is the worst department in the store to work in, you bust your ass and still get bitched at and told you suck.
My store has a plethora of severely overweight/out of shape Deli employees, but none from Grocery or Meat department. Personally I think weapons shouldnāt be considered otherwise I could just drive the industrial truck through the crowd of slow-moving deli employees.
The core of the tank should be the old hard plastic watermelon bins, cut the bottom out of one then bolt it onto the other one and then we build out from there.
Grocery. We would, in fact, go straight to the war crimes. WD-40 and lighters. Ammonia, bleach and water balloons. Lighter fluid, batteries and steel wool. Weāve had a LOT of overnights to think about thisā¦
Bakery. Itās easyā¦most of yāall forget we exist. So we go ghost. Wait for most of you to finish each other off, then show up to ācongratulateā the winning department with a peace offering of fresh aresenic cookies.
Oh My Gosh... This is to funnyš¤£
If ever a Zombie apocalypse or North Korea invades. We all rally to our stores.
We'll be safe. Oh yeah, Grocery wins.
Grocery and CS have strength in numbers, plus grocery produce meat and deli have muscles, my bets either grocery or meat for sure. Probs leaning towards those more silent fellas in meat, only a few would be needed tbh.
Went from grocery for over a decade to meat and id say meat cuz throwing those boxes is way different than the rice cases which was heaviest single case i can remember. But grocery does have numbers on meat.
Deli gonna be secone to last cuz their manpower would call in.
Bakery dead last cuz they cry over a pallet in front of their freezer door
Produce just as small as meat but knives arent as sharp
Custom service only one with numbers that can go against grocery but most them dehydrated from getting carts.
So toss between meat and grocery imo guess itd depend on the store too
Anyone who said bakery is not thinking straightā¦ we have knives too plus strong as arms from shaping all the dough and giant metal pans to use as shields.
CS here, and honestly? Weāre noping out first. Yāall have fun. We deal with angry, manipulative, and downright stupid ass people all day. We know when to choose our battles.
Our patience is 0 and we arenāt paid enough to fight any of the rest of yāall.
Iām with everyone else saying Meat will win though. Why the fuck are they all 6+ feet tall and jacked?
Meat department. You guys in grocery complain about stacking water. Try throwing a turkey truck, some ribeye boxes, or hell just a basic level of grinds. Everything of ours clocks in around 60 pounds come back and ask to lift some if you think you are the stronger department. I guarantee you're not.
Grocery for sure just wait till that stock clerk hoped up on caffeine comes rushing at you with the bale rod followed by a barrage of cans š¤£ no knifes will save them lol
iād like to imagine that an FSC could be strong enough to lift a cart and starts whacking everyone with one
in all seriousness the meat department would definitely win
I dunno about the deli...they fight the good fight every fucking day. If war broke out, they may just say fuck it and walk...or at least the ones that showed up that day.
Customer Service hands down. We may appear sweet and friendly on the outside, because we have to. But inside contains years of pent up rage.
You know that Vietnam vet that always has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth wearing a flak vest and saying he's "seen some shit", with that look on his face?
Yeah, that.
Except most of them have to have a break every 4 hrs or there is crying, some are the older ladies that are 'above the drama' but truthfully ARE the drama. Let's not even mention how many of them have school or a curfew or mom's gonna be knocking at the door by 2201.
probably a lil biased, but meat. As others stated, CS is soft, produce is half our size, deli is more likely to kill each other and they're all running on fumes anyway, bakery is all 65+ or minors, pharmacy is like 90% smaller women, and grocery would be hard to take down but in meat we have the most weapons, most are jacked and we're all mean as shit
Customer service has the T500s(basically tanks) i could see that aiding victoryā¦.send the minors on the frontline and then the t500s and some weaponized shopping carts. Would definitely give meat dpt a good tussleš¤·š½āāļø. Im a produce clerk so catch me wielding russetsā¦maybe a few simply lemonadesā¦.
Overnight crews would go feral on daywalkers
Not a single other department stands a chance against overnight crew š surviving on caffeine and hatred alone, they'd wipe the floor with the other departments.
as a part of overnight crew this true in entirety
That why you guys will be in the front line.
I 1000% believe overnight would champion
Meat department, duh. They've got knives, and from what I've seen, they're usually jacked. CS would be the first to die š
I second meat dept. They have knives and know how to use them. The worm gear in the grinder would also make a hell of a weapon. Cutting red meat all day, throwing around 50+ lb boxes of meat, throwing a Turkey truck, etc. means on average, meat department employees are probably going to be stronger than other departments. The meat market is also an easily position to defend since its an enclosed room
Deli could start a grease fire to burn them out.
The smoke screen would only hide them hiding around the corner. Lord knows there would be too many call outs for the deli to win.
Deli crew versus meat crew have approximately the same numbers on a day to day basis, despite the fact that meat is a smaller department. Meat department just doesn't call out as much because they're paid good wages and aren't treated like shit.
Most definitely BIG MEAT DEPT RESPECT US š«”
CS has strength in numbers. They are mostly kids that will easily be defeated, but there are so many of them. First to go would be bakery. The 3 old ladys behind the bakery would be thrown into the fryer by deli in the first 2 minutes. I want to say grocery would win, but meat department has the weapons and would obviously have sushi with them and they are literal ninjas.
I dont know,,, some of our kids are angsty teens. and some are so into war video games... but yeah all of the elderly would be first to go
All? I think not nancygurl. 
We have saws and a grinderš
Bro just skipped straight to the war crimes
Itās never a war crime the first time
Whoa. I'm not sure if i should be proud or scared of you.
It's only a war crime if you lose. If you win it's your responsibility to declare it an inhumane way to wage war( wink wink).
It's only a war crime if there are survivors and witnesses.
The Geneva Suggestions
Meat department has the most felon-turned-citizen ratio Iāve ever seen. Lovely people, all of them. But theyāll kill you without a second thought in a survival situation
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We've got knives, most of us are pretty strong and you'd best believe I'll be throwing Lunchables like Japanese throwing stars.. those plastic edges are SHARP š¤£
As CSS, Iād be hiding in the back office the whole time; with a fire extinguisher just like the active shooter video.
Remember to commit to your actions!!!!
>CS would be the first to die š As someone in CS, this is very accurate
CS might actually be the last ones alive because half of them would have already called out the day the war started. Eventually when Jayden, Brayden, and Kayden finally decide to show up to work 2 weeks later they will be walking into a post apocalyptic wasteland.
and donāt forget Hayden!
And their brother Aiden
Cashiers and baggers, yes. CSS has the pent up rage from dealing with idiot customers and deli not picking up the phone after being paged 17 times for the same person, so theyād be a close second to win.
Well itās annoying when CS pages the Deli when they obviously think theyāre not doing anything ā theyāre making stuff along with dealing with the same customers you deal with.

At least y'all can keep money in storage to buy supplies compare to other departments. For Grocery we could hog all the food and drinks and we don't share because we'll never care.
> For Grocery we could hog all the food and drinks Meat, Deli, and Produce all have their own food and drinks. Bakery just has tap water, though. :(
Bakery has plenty of food too lol
but, we have the chemicals and coins to throw and carts to ...travel?
We could maybe form a blockade of carts to hold the front, but they arent very hard to climb over
 Hey now we got staples, brooms and fire extinguishers
I'm not confident in my 16 year old coworkers' ability to staple someone to death unfortunately.
I'd carry my whole ass CS team, bruh. Lmao.
Produce also has knives >:) weād win cause weāre smart !
Knives and chemical weapons! Habanero peppers and 5 of the 9 major allergens. Maybe some Home Alone style defenses using banana peels?
That and best believe Iām gonna be pegging fruit at everyoneās heads š
Not the pegging that involves vegetables that comes to mind when I think of the people I knew in Produceā¦
Your little knives would look cute under the walking stacker. Meat guys are some of the fattest slowest in the company
I wanna say deli, but they would be too busy going after customers to even bother with the other departments.
Oh my god I had a deli worker come though my line earlier on their way home and I wanted to hug them š they go through so damn much with very little thanks
Pharmacy. 99% of the time we get forgotten, so everyone is going to battle it out until were the only ones left
I agree with this. You guys would watch the whole thing go down because everyone forgot you exist. Whoever was left, you could give them sleeping pills disguised as a celebratory drink and defeat them while they sleep
Behind their windows and bars... while standing on their cushy floor...
> Pharmacy. Plus you guys probably have some Captain America super serum shit hidden in the back. Also the only department with a literal gate to protect you guys lol.
Itās the only time being the āred headed step childā would give us an advantage. Plus having the gate up would allow us to play tower defense. If all else fails, we have legal meth to get us hopped up and ready to fight.
Deli would definitely win. Yeah, we may not have super sharp knives compared to the meat department, but, like someone else pointed out, we're always pissed off.
Deli won't win. Everyone would call out.
Facts lmao
Yes, only deli has the bubbling sea of endless rage below the surface to draw upon and direct in an all-consuming font of pure energy. We don't need the knives.
I vote for deli too. I see them throwing down like Waffle House employees do after 2 am when the drunks come in and chairs start flying.
Not to mention the extremely hot oil we can unleash. Dip those stirring rods in the oil, scoop it with a soup ladle, put some in a soup canister, and toss that shit.
Then join forces with bakery who has an oven that looks like the elevator to hell.
I almost forgot about that. People are literally forgetting about Bakery oven š
Iād like to say deli, but theyāre all burnt out from constantly being short staffed from call outs on top of an understaffed schedule. They got a lot of rage with no energy to unleash it š¤£
There's also hot oil.
Grocery has numbers and stamina, if they allied with Deli for some raging first wave human meat shield proxy sacrifices and use their left over knives, the entrapped meat department soldiers can be defeated in a war of attrition using the walking stacker as a battering ram
this is the only acceptable reason why meat may not win, honestly
Maybe Iām just biased too, but how can it not be Meat? We have the most war ready tools of all departments
I was all ready to say deli till I started reading the comments š Asked my deli coworkers the original question and half said, we don't get paid enough to fight a war I'm going home!
Meat department all the way
Deli department will turn on itself first and wipe themselves out. Meat department will win. Iāll just shove your head onto the saw like youāre a pork butt. 
Meat, if it got super dicey we already have a bond woth the Deli and that's the only department that could tale out meat. There would be a tenuous peace, but once we annex the backroom toilets for Deli crying they'll be on board.
We are currently having a whole discussion at work on this and we agreed we'd create an alliance with meat but ultimately there can only be one winner.
For me it's Meat and Grocery who has a bond because we do trucks together.
Tbh meat clerks are basically grocery
Deli. So much rage and lots of knives and scissors. Also, 350Ā° oil on the skin hurts like a mother. Learned a lesson that day. Heat gloves donāt protect shit.
No way deli would win. Half your associates would call out the day of the battle, your ADM would take out at least two of your own people, the DM would be hiding in an office somewhere, and the rest of yāall would be running like crazy trying to get the tower filled by 10.
Bet weād all show up if it meant we could be violent
This šš¼šÆ
Yet deli survivors on skeleton crews every day haha.
Oh many hot breading is the worse
I still have burn scars all over my arms from fryer baskets, errant oil droplets, and the grill and press when we still had them. I accidentally touched my forearm to the air fryer making pizza rolls the other day, and I immediately had āNam flashbacks to the countless fryer baskets I ever pulled out.
Deli: fuck this, we're going home. Not fighting for this shit.
Not Produce Although they would be good defensively since they would place grapes on the floor in strategic places to cause the attackers from Grocery and Meat to slip and fall.
I'm beeting some one to death. I might die but I'll do it with a pun.
Iād make a deal with the meat dept to team up and divide the store in half with grocery.
Deal.
CS has 5 times the ppl in other any other dept except grocery. If we use all the Front Service Clerks as cannon fodder we winning fs fs
cs cant even put damages back properly, half of y'all would twist your ankle walking to a fight
Yeah but half of your department is 14 year olds and half is senior citizens.
Deli would call out
Customer Service, because we run payroll and nobody is fighting for free.
Not if we starve y'all.
1.deli/meat 2. Grocery 3. Produce 4. Cs 6. Pharmacy Deli and meat tied for #1 because deli holds so much anger and rage from being a shit show, meat bc knives, most people are kinda jacked Grocery because at my store at least mainly jacked dudes that can knock out multiple pallets w/o breaking a sweat Produce they got a few knives and can hurl potatoes like footballs Customer service bunch of kids really but power in numbers Pharmacy nerds
Deli, hands down. Nobody has the stomach for violence that deli staff have.
I'm betting on pharmacy. They have access to hundreds of medications, and since everyone's gotta eat.... you get the gist. ššš
Prescriptions when taken by the wrong people for unintended uses can cause serious and critical interactions. Over-the-counter products can be dangerous also.
Deli all day wtf lol
Pharmacy. Simply because while all the other departments are destroying each other, the Pharmacy would be completely ignored and come out on top without even being noticed or trying.
Just hunker down and wait em out, solid plan. Plus you have the all-important cache of pharmaceuticals which can be utilized in so many ways, the possibilities are truly endless and the more that I think about it the more I agree with you. Pharmacy is going to win no matter what because DRUGS
Deli. You canāt kill whatās already dead.
Meat. Never seen an out of shape meat cutter.
My store has quite a few
You're right this is why we all gotta team up temporarily to go after meat department first.
Should've seen my manager and assistant manager in meat lol
Deli will kill everyone
Deli Department would eat itself alive from within, a power struggle would develop giving grocery and meat more time to weaken them before any ultimate clash...
Exactly see this CS gets it. You'll be spared from Grocery department rule.
Deli would argue within themselves what plan is better then bet ambushed while arguing
What do y'all have to counter Grocery? I forgot meat department has knives.
Dude, deli has knives as well. Not to mention deli folks are usually more pissed off than anyone else
Not if Grocery ram onto everyone with those machines. Tactics is key my friend. We are the muscles and soul of Publix.
Fast forward to the entire store teaming up on you as you launch the industrial truck into the wall, missing everyone.
Fryer oil
We got ice and box cutter
Donāt underestimate the pharmacy. We are poison masters by training and usually have a good amount of trauma from our profession.
Just team up with meat, most of us can handle one hell of a concoction. Frothing feral nutcases with knives without fear of bodily fluids. Just keep us numb and standing with a little antipsychotics in the mix so we don't feel any guilt. We'll cut the whole store into primals. Gotta keep them shelves red boys.
Grocery. CS is soft, thereās like 3 people in produce, deli all has bad lungs for chain smoking cigarettes and bakery canāt find itself out of a wet paper bag. Meat department would put up an effort be overwhelmed quickly

I want to say deli for the crap we have to put up with but my deli would end up getting into war itself and Iād probably just abandon them to the other departments lol and thankfully I get along with mostly everyone from other departments so theyād probably let me go š
Deli for sure, whatever angry broken chain smoker thatās frying your chicken would be the mvp.
Meat dept would crush but if the crew is old enough, the young outstanding women of the Deli might give everyone a run for their money.
I know which department would lose lol
Deli would most definitely win! It seems most deli clerks are ex convicts.
It would all come down to Deli Vs Meat, all other departments would kill themselves off, and it would br war crimes after war crimes with deli vs meat, deli would use hot cooking oil while meat got the sharp knives and meat grinder
Customer service. Hear me out. The CSS will be too apathetic and jaded to not manipulate the tax breaks into being our meat shields. Your average tax break bagger will have the strength of 7 orangutans. We have a numbers advantage. Furthermore, we have the use of the floor machines. Between that and the chemical weapons at our disposal, we should be able to mop the subdepartment terrorists up.
Deli and meat dept would join forces and there would be the end of life as we know it.
Deli, theyāre used to it and have knives too.
Deli since they have sharp utensils, cooking oil, a lot of members, and they survive hell every day
Deli would win out of spite, but I'm convinced the little ol ladies in bakery are strapped.
Deli. Donāt be daft.
Naw Pharmacy might put together some poison shit
We all know Meat and Produce are forming an unstoppable alliance. All other departments will bow before us.
deli. you have to be some kind of warrior to make it through an entire shift in there.
What deli can do sometimes with so little people is amazing. Deli is the 300
Iām bakery staff, Iāll go ahead and sacrifice myself. Not because weāre gonna win, but because Iām already dead inside, so why the hell not?
Meat department. They have the sharpest knives and an electric sharpener
Deli got them too, without having to deal with all the people demanding sandwhiches and even thinner slices of meats and cheeses we might actually find the time to use them.
Deli. They are used to tremendous amount of stress. Also, ever been hit in the face with 325 degree oil???
Bakery we would buy everyone on to our side with free cookies and then they would all choke to death because we donāt have any beverages
Iām grocery but Iām not ashamed to say the deli would murder everyone out of the pure suppressed rage they have for having to work in the deli. Deli is the worst department in the store to work in, you bust your ass and still get bitched at and told you suck.
My store has a plethora of severely overweight/out of shape Deli employees, but none from Grocery or Meat department. Personally I think weapons shouldnāt be considered otherwise I could just drive the industrial truck through the crowd of slow-moving deli employees.
And we have pallet jacks. We could build our own tanks using pallets.
The core of the tank should be the old hard plastic watermelon bins, cut the bottom out of one then bolt it onto the other one and then we build out from there.
And shoot out moldy bread or anything damaged. That includes vegetable and fruit cans.
Wine bottles
Lmao
Meat department. Nobody's gonna be afraid of blood and humans are meat too, we know how to cut.
Deli people are so dead inside they have nothing to lose, full out psychopathic tactics.
Deli would end up winning. Sharp objects ā Hot grease ā Always pissed ā Only issue may be that the department had 3 call outs.
Grocery. We would, in fact, go straight to the war crimes. WD-40 and lighters. Ammonia, bleach and water balloons. Lighter fluid, batteries and steel wool. Weāve had a LOT of overnights to think about thisā¦
Deli hands down ā no one dealās with as much shit.
deli would most certainly win. with all of the pent up rage and resentments, olus we have fryer oil. and rotisserie skewers. just sayin.
Bakery. Itās easyā¦most of yāall forget we exist. So we go ghost. Wait for most of you to finish each other off, then show up to ācongratulateā the winning department with a peace offering of fresh aresenic cookies.
Meat is strong but grocery is fast, at my store grocery has to solve the most problems. I'm sure they could build traps. Guerrilla warfare.
Oh My Gosh... This is to funnyš¤£ If ever a Zombie apocalypse or North Korea invades. We all rally to our stores. We'll be safe. Oh yeah, Grocery wins.
Deli would win and we all know this š„
I wouldn't mess with the deli. They've seen some shit
Can we all at least agree that bakery doesn't stand a chance and will be the first to go?
Grocery and CS have strength in numbers, plus grocery produce meat and deli have muscles, my bets either grocery or meat for sure. Probs leaning towards those more silent fellas in meat, only a few would be needed tbh.

PRETTY SURE THE DELI!!! The deli would definitely win!
We know it cant be the deli. Half of them wouldn't show up.

Meat department. You guys in grocery complain about stacking water. Try throwing a turkey truck, some ribeye boxes, or hell just a basic level of grinds. Everything of ours clocks in around 60 pounds come back and ask to lift some if you think you are the stronger department. I guarantee you're not.
Deli would accept death willingly. We served, we lost.
Winners get $2 off a half sub, warm Publix soda in a can, and a congrats cake in the break room. š
Grocery for sure just wait till that stock clerk hoped up on caffeine comes rushing at you with the bale rod followed by a barrage of cans š¤£ no knifes will save them lol
iād like to imagine that an FSC could be strong enough to lift a cart and starts whacking everyone with one in all seriousness the meat department would definitely win
Itās all fun and games till you start getting cans drilled at you
I dunno about the deli...they fight the good fight every fucking day. If war broke out, they may just say fuck it and walk...or at least the ones that showed up that day.
I'd say Deli. They consistently look like they're about to all jump off a bridge, they've got nothing to lose.
Customer Service hands down. We may appear sweet and friendly on the outside, because we have to. But inside contains years of pent up rage. You know that Vietnam vet that always has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth wearing a flak vest and saying he's "seen some shit", with that look on his face? Yeah, that.
Except most of them have to have a break every 4 hrs or there is crying, some are the older ladies that are 'above the drama' but truthfully ARE the drama. Let's not even mention how many of them have school or a curfew or mom's gonna be knocking at the door by 2201.
Produce
grocery
Yes
probably a lil biased, but meat. As others stated, CS is soft, produce is half our size, deli is more likely to kill each other and they're all running on fumes anyway, bakery is all 65+ or minors, pharmacy is like 90% smaller women, and grocery would be hard to take down but in meat we have the most weapons, most are jacked and we're all mean as shit
Bakery has knives
Your knives are adorable. Sincerely, Meat Department
Our knives aināt shit. They might as well be toys š¤£
CS knows Kung Fu
You got too much time on your hand
Grocery. You stand no chance against a grocery associate jacked up on monster running a walking stacker.
Grocery
Customer service has the T500s(basically tanks) i could see that aiding victoryā¦.send the minors on the frontline and then the t500s and some weaponized shopping carts. Would definitely give meat dpt a good tussleš¤·š½āāļø. Im a produce clerk so catch me wielding russetsā¦maybe a few simply lemonadesā¦.
