About Deli
"Deli" was filmed in a real sandwich shop - while it was open! Since the spot was filmed in the summer during good weather, the deli served their food on the shop's back deck, while the inside space was full of actors. The actor who played the man behind the counter is also a trial attorney, who did a great job bringing intensity to the scenes. Originally, "Deli" was intended to be more linear - to have a clear-cut beginning, middle, and end, with no gaps. The editor, however, tried something different, putting all the scenes together in a montage. This worked much better, as it matched the quick-paced, staccato intensity of the environment and of what was being said.

Great way to let someone working behind the counter realize you gain more customers AND friends by just being kind. It gives working people a pause for thought. The thought of kindness, of being pleasant, and to just smile. Now that's something that you can pass along & costs nothing!
