July 13, 1994: Deli - Slicer Incident

It was very busy in the deli today.  I was working by myself today from 4-8 p.m.  Every single customer had to have their meats thinner or thicker.   Our slicer wasn't working properly.  A customer wanted Virginia baked ham.   I had the guard on the meat and it still didn't slice, so I held the meat down and my left middle finger slipped and I cut it on the blade.  Barb Rambo, the bakery manager, had to take me to emergency at Hackley Hospital.    I got 3 stitches on the tip of my finger.    My finger throbbed all night.
