Reply to comment by rabb1thole in Study finds deli meat is connected to more than 90 percent of U.S. listeria cases by BoundariesAreFun

I’m currently in a management role with a large grocery chain, any associate caught doing any of that would be terminated immediately. Food safety is the largest issue that is constantly monitored followed very closely by personal safety. Not saying it’s impossible but very improbable, at least in my experience.

I’m a deli worker in a regional chain, and it’s the same here. Dates and temps are tracked rigorously - fudging them is one of the surefire ways to get fired. We also clean our in-use slicers every 4hrs, per OSHA standard and scrub our floor every night with an anti-listeria cleaner

Any chain is scrutinized more heavily has more policy on this type of stuff. I've definitely seem mom and pop grocery stores in small towns do this stuff. Everything they throw away is money out of their pockets.
