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.

What about when they clean out their ear with their gloved finger, in the middle of making your sandwich, and then say "anything else"?

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

X2

I hate raw onion and got ****ed up of my local deli getting onions mixed up with the rest of my salad. So much so that I told them I was actually allergic to onions and that if they couldn't keep them seperate from other foods they should really put up a sign saying that all sandwiches may contain traces of onions. Looking back now I was a smart ass young one thinking they should have listened to me. THey did put up a sign and they always took extra care with my sambo.

And before anyone says - no there was no other deli to go to and no I couldn't be bothered making my own.

The celtic tiger eh? To think of the ****e that I (we) bought from deli's rather than be seen as uncool to bring my own lunch.

In my local Subway, there's ALWAYS three behind the counter.
The 1st person: takes your order, cuts the bread, puts on the base meat, cheese etc. And toasts it.

The 2nd person: takes the sandwich out of the toaster, puts on the salad toppings and the sauce.

The 3rd person: takes your money, asks you whether you want a drink / cookie / crisps and asks if you have a Subcard.

Every time I've been in Subway, this is the case!

Have to say any Subway I have been in is the same. I don't think i have ever handed over the money to the person who has made my sambo.

Slightly off topic but a particular Spar near where I used to work in Cork is the worst for pricing.

I got the same roll every day and the price always varied by between 5 and 25 cents. They don't weigh the rolls.

making my blood boil just thinking about it!

90% of the posters on this thread are probably obese anyway so ye should stay away from deli counters.These people are on minimum wage preparing food for fat Celtic Gob****es like ye. Behave!

yrwhu8jxtni06a · 10-09-2010 04:09PM

One thing i do notice is,they always seem to give a fistful of cheese when you want it in the roll,am i going to feed some mice or something?..

Hmmm now this is a little against the rules but if I liked someone or recognised them as a regular customer I'd always give little discounts. 20c here 50c here. But if they went to some of the other staff they'd be charged full price. Maybe that's what happened??

Sandwiches are stupid.

People annoy me.

This thread symbolises everything thats wrong with the world.

Anytime I get a sandwich in my deli i get charged for a salad roll.
It doesn't matter if i get one filling or four fillings.
Thieving fcukers :mad:

I do agree with this but a guy in my local centra took it a bit far yesterday when he asked for a breakfast roll with three rashers and 2 sausages. This is how it went
"oh but take the fat off"
"Okay do you want butter"
"Ye but onlya scrape. No! that's too much"
"Do you want mushrooms?"
"Ye but drain the water off first. Make sure they're dry. Don't get the roll wet."
"Do you want an egg?"
"Ye but a clean one. Not a burst one."
"Do you want sauce"
"Yes but put everything in first and then put the sauce evenly over the top"

It took me a fifteen minutes to get a damn chicken fillet! Haha

Ush1 · 10-09-2010 04:37PM

Subway in Ballincollig and in The Square in Tallaght, in both usually the person who does the salad takes the money aswell.

Degag · 10-09-2010 04:49PM

There's 2 deli's in my village and one drives me mad. The first one drives me mad. If i wanted a Ham, Coleslaw and cheese sandwich, they'd put a tiny almost transparent slice of ham on, a scrape of coleslaw, and that's literally a scrape - the amount the fits on top of a knife - and oftentimes loads the sandwich with cheese. If i ever said can i have more ham/coleslaw please? You would think it was a massive inconvenience to them and would usually result in just another scrape of coleslaw going on.

The other place is great, generous helpings of each filling and cheaper than the other place!

muffy · 10-09-2010 04:53PM

If you are fussy about your sandwiches (like me), why go to a deli? Make your own or go somewhere fancier than a petrol station for lunch... do you think the person behind the counter understands exactly how you want your sandwich? And if you do explain to them how you want it do you not appreciate that it might take them some extra time to make it to your exact specifications? I never order tomatoes in a deli because I only like them done my way...I don't want to hold up the entire queue whilst I explain to the deli assistant the exact tomatoe to mayo ratio I require...I just get tuna and bugger off.
Bottom Line: If your gonna be fussy, why bother with a deli sandwich?

spurious · 10-09-2010 05:14PM

Don't call it butter if it's some Stork margarine type muck from a square tub.

Superquinn make awesome rolls none o' that ****e in there!!

That said any place i go for a wrap the story is always the same an arse of an attempt. They put the filling in but then just roll it up and dont tuck/fold in the ends. Trying to eat it is some challenge because your trying to save eveything from falling out the end.

JerryHandbag · 10-09-2010 05:42PM

These days you have to be actually tell the deli staff, whether they're Irish or not, to slice sausages down the middle when they're making you a sausage sambo. They'd sooner throw the uncut sausages between the slices of bread so that they roll out when you go to take a bite! :rolleyes:

So sorry for interupting yer gossip session there ladies, any chance of a sandwich?

Donkey Oaty · 10-09-2010 06:03PM

There's one I know who asks if I'd like the fat cut off the bacon. I would. She cuts it off.

Superb service.

O'Briens tuck the ends in, but toast it first so that the wrap's crispy and breaks, and they over fill it so it's like eating a football.

I asked for onions, I don't want ****ing red onions. Don't even get me started on the places that don't have real onions and only do red ones.

Skinfull · 10-09-2010 07:28PM

I hate when they cut the roll on the top instead of from the side...makes it a total cúnt to eat!

PrincessLola · 10-09-2010 08:06PM

I agree with the people who said make your own sambo. Probably much healthier anyway, you can control what goes into it.
Or eat a salad (no dressing) less calories then a white bread roll (shudder).

wobzilla1 · 10-09-2010 08:11PM

I got a sandwich with chicken, tomato and onion the other day and when I wasn't looking they cut it into 4 little triangles like your mammy used to do with your cheese sandwiches. They just fell apart when I tried to eat them
