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.

You look it'll be on the bag or the wrapper it'll be there or on the edge of the roll. Ketchup should be applied outside the shop at the fuel pump. Rant over..

You'd be delighted when finally a good song came on the radio in the shop and then a customer would turn up and ruin it. :pac: Some people would want mountains of filling on their roll. It would barely hold together. I'd say they'd need a plate and a knife and fork to eat it.

Personally i prefer it not to be cut in half but some do it automatically , they might even ask you do you want it cut in half , you say no and they still do it. A pet peeve i have is when they cut open the roll , some cut it open so far it splits in two , top half and bottom half and when you start to eat it it goes everywhere. Agree , i lovea good soft roll but believe tomato sauce should be put in before anything else. . Otherwise it goes all over the place

They hired two new people and their roll and wrap-making skills are piss poor I'm afraid, which is to be expected, but why have two of them working at the same time? That didn't seem efficient to me. But I get to the top finally and I'm thinking, 'Please just don't **** this up'. I ask for a white roll and he gets a white roll. We're off to a good start, but I complicate things massively by asking for spicy chicken and sliced cheddar cheese. He points to that yellow cartoon cheese with holes in it and goes, 'This?'. I'm there, 'No bud. Cheddar please.' He reaches into the tub of grated cheedar and grabs a handful. 'No bud. SLICED...please'. He gives me a look as if to say, 'Sorry it's my first day'. First day on earth? Who doesn't know what sliced cheddar is? I'm willing to let bygones be bygones providing there's no more catastrophes along the way, but of course there is. He cuts up the chicken fillet and puts that in the roll first. I'm thinking, 'Good jesus there's going to be 80% of the cheese slices sticking out of the roll because there's no f*cking room now'. He realises this as well, after the damage is done mind you, and starts cutting the cheese into tiny little squares. At this point I'm tempted to pinch the bit in between my eyes with my thumb and index finger and just shake my head in annoyance. I have one last request that I know he'll get right - or so I thought. I complicate things further by asking him to cut it in half, but he must've thought I said, 'Divide it 70:30 please mate' because that's what he did. Then I had to wait about two minutes for the sticker because soppy presumably couldn't find my ingredients, but in his defence, the roll was nice so there's a happy ending to this trivial saga. I feel sorry for him now looking back.

In my day - it's nearly a decade since the deli now - there was none of that. Having the roll cut in half was a special request. This was in the boom so 90% of those in line were builders - they ate their roll out of the damn tinfoil (no one uses tinfoil any more, bless their meagre profit margins) like a normal person.

But if you uhm and ah for five minutes while the people behind you are getting annoyed because this is half their break (and they will take it out on me rather than you, asshole) and decide that you want salad and then chicken and sure bung a bit of ham in there and then mayo, don't blame me when the daft concoction falls apart and mayo goes all over the place. Oh, and if you order a load of things that is not covered by "a breakfast roll" to be in there*, you will get charged more and shouting and screaming and throwing the thing at me will gain you no sympathy. Especially when I've told you during the process that extra food in it will cost more. And I don't give a flying if you're related to the store manager, the deli manager, all my bosses, my mother and everyone who would ever hire me in the future. Asshat. I hope I never have to work in another deli. *"Only two sausages? Put another one in there. And another piece of bacon. Not that piece of bacon, that piece over there. And oh my god, why isn't there more hash browns? Didn't you realise people would want them? Ugh, you put in BLACK pudding! I want WHITE pudding. Obviously. And mayo. Lots of mayo. Oh, and some mushrooms. Ugh, why is this so full? OH MY GOD, YOU'RE ACTUALLY CHARGING ME EXTRA?!" *I hope you choke on a frog.* /gritted smile
