A lot of old (or old style, also sometimes Jewish) delis still use the full word, especially in the eastern U.S.
As an example, Katz’s Delicatessen in New York is one of the most famous.
Here’s a sign for one in Philadelphia, and here's one in Baltimore.
Outside of that, no. I’m not even sure I saw the full word anywhere else unless they were referring to old east coast delis!
