Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

Forgot about deli meet for the weight. It's always "I want 300 grams of sliced black forest ham", and not whatever that is in imperial. Do they use ounces for that?

I've started asking for a specific number of slices and thickness. 16 slices of shaved blackforest ham gives me 4 sandwiches worth. Oh baby.

Not many people realize you can do this. Just the number of slices and say either thin, medium, or thick.

This is the way. One customer ever did this in my deli career and it was the easiest transaction.
