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.
this is one of those “never happened” but also the sort of things that happened to people all throughout history.

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?
