It's so sad that people do this and so unbelievable that an elderly person would act like that as you know they were raised to be polite, or so I thought. Hang in there and next time I guess you'll have to be pushy, which is easier said than done. The Deli is at fault as well though, they need to call the number and not whose next. Perhaps talk to the store manager. Couldn't hurt.
