I could only tolerate it for a couple years. There were extenuating circumstances though.

I had the added pleasure of working in a tourist town. So for four months out of the year, you also get ultra privileged folk that are used to whatever boutique shit they get back home. Then they come to Bob's expecting Chez Robert's, at Bob's price.

God I loved working supermarket deli. I did it as a kid, and then spent the first year of quarantine back in a deli, but in my thirties that time. I’ve become a deli meat snob because of it.

There's clearly better stuff than others. But at the end of the day, it's basically salted meat. Often ultra-processed and recombined into any number of things based upon spices or 'curing'.
