Working in the deli can be hazardous. Deli workers deal with potentially contaminated foods, sharp utensils, meat slicers, and wet floors; all while trying to be sanitary. It’s store policy to write up an accident report just in case the employee may need medical attention. Our deli clerk Denise, slipped and fell while cleaning in the deli and as a result she must report to a supervisor. That supervisor happened to be me…
Me: So what were you doing when you fell?
Deli Denise: I was mopping the floor.
Me: How did you fall?
Deli Denise: I slipped on something…
Me: What did you slip on?
Deli Denise: Does it matter?
Me: Of course. I have to write it down.
Deli Denise: Uhh…
Me: Any day now…
Deli Denise: Umm… some deli meat.
She mumbled. So I asked her to repeat it…
Me: What was it again?
Deli Denise: DELI MEAT!
Me: HAHAHAHA…
Deli Denise: …
Me: Sorry Denise…
I couldn’t help but keep laughing for some reason.
Me: So…hehe…What kind of deli meat was it?
Deli Denise: Does it matter?
[No...]
Me: Of course it does!
Deli Denise: Turkey breast.
Me: Hahaha… Turkey breast!
Slice of Deli Turkey
Deli Denise: …
Me: Sorry, sorry Denise. So was there any bacon involved?

Deli Denise: …

I’m not sure I get it, really.
Gotta watch out for that turkey breast.
It’ll getcha every time.
My mom worked in a deli of a small grocery store for years. Personally, I’d be scared of the slicer. I don’t get along well with sharp things.
