What's your most outlandish deli order?
Beef slices on a brown roll, crispy onion, cheese and gravy poured over it. I was desperately hungover, working on a building site trying my best not to puke |

Both, unless im having egg mayo in it. There is such thing as too much.
My favourite, when i could enjoy a crusty roll, was egg mayo, lettuce, pineapple and cheese.
Damn im hungry now  |

"A wrap with relish, hot chicken, coleslaw and pineapple is elite level.
I’ve just gotten the gawks imagining the mouth feel of butter and mayo together  "

Butter? Yes please, real butter, not that horrible spreadable shit in a tub that you think is butter.
Please use sliced cheese & not grated. When you eat in the truck grated cheese goes everywhere & is impossible to clean up.
As for eggs.... Do not cook them & leave them under the warming lamps, they stay cooking!!!! If I want a horrible rubber green thing I'll by a fuckin tennis ball!
OK rant over.
I've just had a very nice sausage sandwich, no no no, not that kind you perve. I meant a hot sausage, no wait, a juicy sausage... a fuck it, I give up!

But back to the question in hand...butter on the bottom (just a skim), mayo on the top. It helps glue the sandwich together. Although if the top layer of filling is coleslaw then you can skip the mayo |

Lol I love sausages okay it's definitely different scenarios with different sausages but jambo I enjoy mostly. Sometimes I get one then maybe two or three have yet to get four . Some day maybe when I am very greedy but that's not to often. |

I am going to have to try this roll with pineapple. I would fire some grapefruit on too if available.
Hat tip to the currywurst mentioned too in this thread. So damn good. The greatest snack for me is leberkase on a crispy roll with mustard.....um um ummm |

Do you eat banana sandwiches? The classic fruit and bread combo. |

Was in deli recently asked for mayo the young lady serving me said they had none, I asked her if I would get some off the shelf as we were in a large supermarket she said she wasn't aloud to use that one. I started to ask why but at this stage lost my appetite and will to live and just left, so on that occasion I goth neither! |

It is quite tricky - most delis aren't allowed to lift stuff off the shop floor - it's to do with stock count and allergens.
Staff are put into a shitty situation - either get shouted at by a customer for not giving you something or shouted at by a manager for not following their rules  |

Shops/deli usually have catering sized buckets of mayo etc, and refill the counter ones from those, as cheaper in long term. |

It's a shite manager if yer deli runs out of butter or mayo imo. |

Mayo and shite managers seem to go together very well.  |

100%.
Sometimes deliveries don't come in time though, Sometimes deliveries get sent back over low quality, Sometimes suppliers face shortages... things do happen |

"Its also a shite cutomer who shouts at anyone in a service industry "
I hear what you're saying, and shouting rarely solves anything but some people in service industries are cunts as well.
A baseball bat speaks so much louder than shouting. |

Who's shouting?
But agree shouting doesn't solve anything
Unfortunately customer service has taken a huge hit in the last one or two decades, it's all about profit margins. |

Four is not being greedy, there's no such thing as too many sausages.
I actually had three in that sandwich this morning. I don't think I could handle four, my month's not that big
