Gary - as someone else said, have the deli weigh out your olives, *then* add
some of the liquid they were in before - it only goes to waste at the deli
otherwise.

However, if you already have some and they are dry - put them in a little
oil, if they were in oil at the store, put on some oil, if they were brined,
use brine.
