They have slices all ready in the deli there? I'd think they'd
just dry up.

I've seen already sliced amounts of cold cuts for people who
don't feel like waiting to get fresh sliced, but if you just
want a couple of slices of whatever, they'll do it for you,
not break open a package of already weighed food.

I bought slices of ham and salami years ago, for something I
was making. I didn't have the money to just order a quarter
pound of each like I would do today.
