On the way out the door, I had to get another look over the grand aisle, with its true Cartoon signs. Not that this picture is a particularly good look at any of them, but I do always think produce departments with spotlights are rather photogenic!
I wonder if the "Hello, Deli" sign was inspired by the Hello Deli in New York that was made famous by the David Letterman show when Letterman frequently had the deli's owner, Rupert Jee, on his show as an accomplice to his jokes and gags. This was a popular segment in the 1990s. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Jee
Here's a video of one of their gags: https://youtu.be/LY428yDJBfs

Who knows. It seems a bit weird for Fred Meyer to blatantly knock off something like that...
