48 Deli Express is a rip -off , they over charge for everything . The guy was probably pissed that he was over charged .

Check it out for yourself , I left there mad as hell because they charged me $2 for 20oz. soda . Since then I have herd many horror stories about price gauging from 48 Deli Express .

I won't shop there ever again .

Is that the one over by the thruway? I bought something there one time & it'll be the last thing I ever buy there. Yea, total rip-off!! And what I bought didn't have a price on it ~ I guess that should have been my 1st clue!

I think I heard the 48 Deli incident on the scanner, they said he was waiting for a bus that wasn't due for over an hour Mr. Nix was reportedly "looking to get arrested" and the police were happy to "accommodate him"....that's what I heard anyway.

and if you don't like the prices don't go there, if you were "over charged" tell the cashier that you don't want the $2- 20 oz. soda, it ain't rocket science my friend!

I hate when I'm headed towards the thruway and realize I need gas and have to buy it there. It's always much higher than anywhere else in town but of course, I buy it there anyway rather than head back into town.

Their gas is always at least 10 cents more then it is at any other gas station in Batavia. When we went by we noticed it was $2.89 everyone else was at $2.79. Now I kind of make it a point to look when I go by and it's always way more.

David Robinson is innocent till proven guilty . I would hope that this not the teacher's aid at the Batavia High School . If so, the school should think about paid leave because of so much sensitive info available at the school.
