Whitefield Delicatessen

Whitefield Delicatessen is just a small shop located at Whitefield 6. It’s tucked away a bit, so you have to look for it. We mostly deal with meats and cheeses and some bread we get from a guy down the road. It’s not a big corporate operation. To be honest, it’s mostly just me and a helper most days. We spend a lot of time slicing things and making sure the display fridge is running right. That fridge is old and it makes this low humming sound that drives me crazy sometimes, but it keeps everything cold. The lunch hour is usually a bit of a scramble. We get a lot of people who work in the tech parks nearby coming in for a quick sandwich. They are always in a rush, checking their watches. I try to move as fast as I can with the knife. We don't have a big menu because we can't fit that much stuff in our small storage area. We just keep it to what we know we can sell. Sometimes the deliveries show up late because of the Whitefield traffic, which is a nightmare as everyone knows. When that happens, we just have to tell people we're out of certain things. It’s a bit frustrating, but that’s just life in this part of town. We’re just a regular shop trying to make a living like everyone else around here. Sometimes we close early if we run out of bread.
