deli counter

Sliced ham station

A deli counter is the section of a grocery store or supermarket where sliced meats, cheeses, and prepared foods are sold, typically staffed by workers who slice products to order.

Customers take a number and wait their turn: I grabbed some turkey from the deli counter.

The term also refers to the physical display case itself.
