    When I ask for a white roll, don't just assume want butter and just put a glob on the knife.

    Don't look so shocked at me ask me if "I'm sure" when I tell you I want neither butter nor mayonnaise.

    Don't cut my roll open with a butter-laden knife after I clearly stated that I don't want butter, thus leaving butter residue in my roll.

    When I ask for meat, salad and stuffing, don't jam in the salad and put the meat on top then drizzle the stuffing on top, thus causing it to fall out.

    When you cut my roll in half GO ALL THE WAY BASTARDING THROUGH, don't just cut half way thrugh it leaving me to tare the rest.

    I have actually refused a roll based on this. Of course I saw them cut the roll with a butter laden knife but I thought it best to let them finish making my roll before I told them I don't want devil spunk in my roll!

    In past times you would be told to man up

    Men these days 😒

    My pet peeve is that when i ask for coleslaw (for example) i don't want you to take a knife and scrape a tiny bit of it accross the roll. Take out a spoon and put a decent amount on.

    You probably ask for the moist maker too do you ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 29 gary0345


    You know they're good when you ask for your roll/sandwich to be toasted and they offer to put the Lettuce on after its been toasted.

    I can relate to a lot of that. Don't really use Deli's anymore since my work situation changed years ago. But I do remember a regular occurance back in the boom days of celtic tiger Ireland. Anytime I asked for a bacon and sausage sambo in a Deli a young Eastern European girl would always ask me if I wanted Mayo on it. WTF! Esso Stations were big culprits. Any breakfast related sambo had a Mayo request! It was like their basic training to make a sambo made mayo compulsory. Poor feckers. Victims of ****ty management.

    Sambos not cut properly was another issue. Cut the fooking thing in half. Its fooking easy. Apart from my contribution OP, you need to calm down and realise that you are now the victim of having a job, being able to afford to have lunch in a Deli and posting about it on the oul interweb.

    What gets me is that they offer you butter, but it's not real butter they're using. It's normally just some butter substitute.
    I've never actually had the luxury of having real butter even though the majority of delicatessens offer it as so.

    They typically cut mine in half without asking if I want it cut in half.

    Sometimes they ask "cut in half?" and I reply "no" and then they cut it in half anyway.

    Ah FFS! This is getting rediculous! Virtually every roll/sambo is cut in half.

    I was once in a cavery where the chef asked me did I want mushy peas with my roast beef as he was pouring the knuts over my dinner. It was the 90s. I had no internet to complain on. I told the prick to redish my dinner.

    I was in one where, despite my asking clearly for it to be filled without the roll being cut at all, the server point blank refused to do so. They insisted on cutting it open, saying that was the only way they could fill it. Who trains these people, or decides they are fit to work at a deli counter ???


  • Registered Users Posts: 133 ✭✭Marzipan85


    Well we know what dfeo's punishment will be if he ends up in hell... making sandwiches for people he doesn't care about for minimum wage for all of eternity.

    I've never had a butter problem in Subway in fairness.

    It is always some margarine looking/tasting crap. Never real butter. The ingredients on display in a lot deli counters is the cheapest sh!t they could get their hands on.. Grey ham is always a very bad sign.

    Thats not the point of the thread. The person making the roll is not responsible for the tasteless crap that goes into it. They are responsible for how they make it.

    I do agree with you though.

    Absolutely. Most deli food is pure muck. When O'Briens first opened, their chicken and sweetcorn sandwich was awesome. Nowadays it literally thawed out frozen chicken from an unknown source.

    Where are you paying at least five euro for a roll?

    For those too lazy to make a sandwinch themselves, an autonomous robot will be shortly providing this basic assembly task.

    A touch screen and sand-bot-artist at your local Subway could probably do this human task better, faster and for longer than anyone else.
    So you can send any complaints to the chief robot of food assembly robots, they really won't care though.
