It would be awfully useful if both sandwich-eaters and sandwich-makers could learn the signs for, for example, spinach, chipotle, mustard, mayo, wrap, ciabatta, red onion, and so on. At my favorite sandwich counter, a full year into the pandemic, people are still communicating with the staff by yelling at them from 3 feet away from a plexiglass barrier, while everyone is wearing masks and everyone else in the store is yelling as well.

Seriously, they haven't even tried to come up with a better system. Like.... pictures on the glass that you can point to? A form with checkboxes that you can hand over? Nope, we're going stick with yelling our lungs out.
