[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, you all are high maintenance.  It isn’t as if one millimeter really makes that big of a difference in your sandwich.  Maybe stick to grilled cheese[/quote]lol, yes. I’ve never specified a thickness in my life. [/quote]

I worked at a deli throughout college. People who actually know what thickness they wanted were my favorite customers, exactly the opposite of "high maintenance."

When the deli guy asks you how thick you want it and you say "whatever's fine" you may think you're being "low maintenance," but in reality you're as annoying as the cliche spouse who always has that same response to "where do you want to eat tonight?"  People's preferences on deli meat vary wildly - extra thin and shaved meats are very popular and personally I can't comprehend how anybody likes them. I'm sure many people feel the same way about my preference of having my meats cut practically as thick as a steak.

Want to be actually low maintenance? Learn what number setting on the slicer corresponds to how thick you want your meat and tell them directly.  [/quote]

Honestly, I have spent the same amount of time pondering deli meat thickness as I have thought about which way toilet paper hangs. Which is to say, zero.

Apparently I'm a barbarian.[/quote]
