I've personally worked at multiple deli counters. By all accounts I was incredibly bad at it. The first time, on my first day I sliced the tip of my right thumb off down to the nub and shot arterial blood all through the display and got fired immediately. So I flatter myself that I am something of an authority on bad deli counter skills. And I tell you, this shit never happened.
That sounds more like whoever was responsible for training you was incredibly bad at it.
I mean, how likely was it to happen in the only day you worked there?
Ok....? And I have personally visited multiple deli counters, in New York, so I flatter myself that I know what an actual real deli looks like, and how they operate. And I can tell you as something of an authority, that it absolutely may have happened, or maybe it did not happen.
Does someone pay you to be boring? They should.
