Agreed. I’ll add that NYC delis (and those in a few other cities) are a rarity in smaller cities, suburbs, or rural areas. The best we have is grocery store deli counters. Sliced meats work. The prepared food mostly comes into the store in big plastic tubs. My grocery actually has a bakery of sorts. My local groceries don’t even make sandwiches anymore - they come in wrapped in plastic each morning.
