A small bit of butter means you plaster enough on the sandwich to make it looks like the plastic yolk under a george foreman.

Ah you read my mind.. When I said mayo I really meant red sauce..

And when I asked for some lettuce I didn't mean 6 kilo's of it

Fúckin thicks!

This pisses me off too. It's really spreading, this practise.

I always ask for no butter on my sandwich but it doesn't stop them wiping a buttery knife on the bread before they put the filling in :mad:

If I wanted butter I'd fcuking ask for it.

And a salad sandwich doesn't contain ham or chicken so don't look at me like the weird one because i can tell the difference between salad & meat.

Fattist..

I hate it when they just put a blob in the middle of the bread and don't bother spreading it out to the edges - lazy uncaring [EMAIL="b@stards"]b@stards[/EMAIL].

That said OP - butter is for boggers and should not exist outside toast situations.

Mayo is where it's been at since the 80's:cool:

It drives me mad when u get a breakfast roll and they put the ketchup on the top, thanks for making the roll messy, how hard is it to put the ketchup in first. On the rare occasion i forget to ask them to put the ketchup in first, they always put it on top:mad:

Gummy Panda · 10-09-2010 12:17PM

Most deli counter sandwiches/rolls are horrible. The salad items are usually really wet or going off.

Also I loved it when I ordered a chicken salad roll in a deli recent and returned to work to find she had put cold food in a straight out of the oven roll.

kraggy · 10-09-2010 12:20PM

Slightly different to the OP, but my major pet hate is when deli staff go to the trouble of putting on plastic gloves to make a sandwich for someone, but then handle money with the gloves still on. And then look towards you and ask you what you'd like on yours.

You're not going to a proper deli if the staff in the deli preparing sandwiches are the same staff who are taking your money at the till.

Casey_81 · 10-09-2010 12:23PM

yeah from my experience there are two types of sandwich makers:

1) the ones that put exactly 4 slices of tomato on your sandwich -these ones seem to understand the concept of a small bit of butter/mayo. but seem to charge by the mg. of contents so you end up with a 6/7 euro sambo.

2) the ones that put a fist full on - prone to giving a 'slice' of butter. generally cheaper sandwiches but you need a knife and fork to eat them.

neither quite satisfactory...

You think thats bad..

I got a large coke from McD's and it had NO ice and it tasted ****e... what kinda of world do we live in. Definally will be sueing them. *american culture*

experiMental · 10-09-2010 12:27PM

It was a lot worse in Vancouver. I came across sandwich makers in a Subway that I couldn't understand at all. I thought they were speaking Hindi, and I was completely shocked, but on a third listen, they were actually speaking English. They put too little chicken in the chicken salad as well, and it was all in a local Subway!

I worked in a Deli during college and made fantastic rolls/sandwiches and made sure the salad was fresh and rolls weren't burnt etc...

However I was like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld so you can't win really

It's not ****ing butter they put on it anyway.
It's ****ing evil vegetable oil crap or whatever.

JustAddWater · 10-09-2010 12:33PM

Well my deli really annoy me to the point where I stopped going

They cross contaminate EVERYTHING! Idiots. I asked for ham and cheese roll once and bit into raw onion of all things

Onion is very strong and distinctive in it's raw form, and tastes rank even more so when your not expecting it.

I go to the shop but not the deli now but I always notice peppers spilt over the ham or cheese gratings in the mayo or sweetcorn having fallen into the butter tub

The final straw was a while back when I got a bacon and sausage sandwich and lo and behold, bit into a raw onion and it was foul. It most likely came from the butter. If at quiet breakfast times they can't get it right, they aren't ever going to!

Idiots

Go to Subway OP

The staff have name badges and are "sandwich artists" so they are bound to be good

I always try to make my own at home but in the rare ocassions that you are faced with a deli sandwich it's like Russian Roulette as to what may appear between your two slices of bread. Yes you get what you asked for (and plenty of it despite asking for just a 'small bit') but sometimes there are one or two surprises that you didn't order, a bit of grated cheeses, little bit on onion, small bit of butter, green pepper!

Tho to be honest, if I were making sandwiches all day I wouldn't give a fook about you/me either, I'm not gonna be eating it!!!

Mint Sauce · 10-09-2010 12:41PM

oh hate the butter thing, always have to respread it when i get home, nothing worse than bitting through a slab of the stuff

Because they like to throw customers filthy looks whilst fcuking the closest sandwich fillings in between two slices of bread?

Because everyone in Ireland makes perfect sandwiches and is too good to work in a deli?

Pretty much the attitude over here!
Go to most shops with a Deli counter and the majority working behind them are not Irish. I'm sure Irish people would make a balls of your 'rambo' too but they can't be bothered to work in those kind of jobs!

You and me both! I never get that horrible yellow grease that they try pass off as butter, making up the moisture content with sauce or mayo instead.

WindSock · 10-09-2010 12:52PM

There is only a Spar near where I work but I have given up a long time ago on their deli. I used to come back with my sanger / roll, take it apart and rebuild it.
There is one lady there who is onto it though with the distribution of ingredients. Everyone else needs to go back to sandwich construction school. Or be made eat their own creations so they know how crap they are.

I worked in a deli for 3 years and it was all Irish staff.

Also I made perfect sandwiches!!!

However... you can usually tell which deli worker is going to give you nice sandwiches/rolls. Find these people- usually under 30 and smiling with a good grasp of english- and only get served by them.

problem solved.

next problem...?

I hate when they put the coleslaw on top too. It should always go in first before any topping! I've only been at one deli where they do this without being told!
