I believe the answer is:

idle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is not working' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at deli cook' is the wordplay.
'deli' can be anagrammed to 'IDLE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Slothful" , "-- Jack, pantomime character" , "Lied about being lazy or not working" , "Good-for-nothing" , "Do nothing, laze" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
