接客業でお客さんが少ない、あるいは仕事量が少ない時は"slow"を使います。
もちろん「[遅い](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/82712/)」という意味もありますが、客入りが少ない＝時間が経つのが遅い ということもあり、仕事における「[暇](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/36703/)」を"slow"で表現できます。
例
It's slow today.
今日は暇です。
I had a slow day at work.
今日の仕事は暇でした。
It's a slow day = 今日は時間の流れが[遅く](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/82712/)感じるね= 今日[暇](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/36703/)だね
It's dead today = 今日終わってるね
It's so dead today!! = 今日めっちゃ暇だねー！
直訳すると「大分死んでる」ですね、何だかゾンビを連想してしまいますがすごく暇、と言う意味です。
