Deerfield Beach, FL - Katie Margolis wanted a turkey and Swiss cheese sub on wheat with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, olives, green peppers, oil and vinegar. She would never get the chance. A part-time sales clerk at Claire's, Margolis entered the Deerfield Beach Publix on Federal Highway at age 17. She was pronounced dead still waiting on the deli counter line at 1:06 pm Tuesday. Margolis was found holding ticket number 4 and a small bag of Doritos. She was 89. Customers reported seeing Margolis waiting on the line for years. "I remember getting some potato salad in January and she was on that line," a distraught customer said. It remains unknown why the seven deli clerks on duty continued to wash the meat slicing machine, fix the saran wrap dispenser, sweep the floor, and pack wings without making eye contact with any of the customers.
