Keeping Cucumbers from turning slimy when sliced

Pleasureville, KY(Zone 6a)

My niece called last night, she has been doing part time catering , and asked if I knew of a way to slice cucumbers in advance of an event to keep them from turning slimy.

She had been slicing them like on Thursday or Friday night for an event on the weekend. She says that she slices them, puts them in zip lock bags but by the time the weekend rolls around they "feel" slimy.

I don't have a clue, but if anyone has any ideas about this, I would appreciate telling me.

Maybe, she needs to take them from the bag and rinse well, pat dry and proceed to the event?
