Corned Beef man

[gaspode]

The department I work on, is next to the Deli.

So every Saturday a man comes in and buys from the Deli, ONE SLICE of corned beef,me and my co-workers have discussed this,and firstly wonder why anybody would buy one slice,when it costs 19p and a pack of 10 slices is only £1,but mainly what the hell would anybody do with one slice of corned beef.

Any suggestions please as we are completely baffled.

I'm guessing that the customer may not have a refrigerator in his house.

I was in that situation once as a young student - I couldn't buy raw meat and/or frozen goods in large amounts, but had to rely on canned food when it came to storage. If I bought some raw goods, it had to be something I planned to prepare and eat the same second I came home.

To give his pet a treat or a pill?

To give his pet a treat or a pill?

Heh... how to give a dog a pill
1- Wrap it in bacon
2- Throw it in the air.



When I worked at the supermarket, I remember a person like that. Although might have been two slices. Never did figure out what for.

Looking around real quick, I've found a couple of recipies for sandwichs that use one slice of corned beef. One is an egg McMuffin-sounding egg-and-slice-of-corned-beef (cheese optional), and another is a grilled cheese with corned beef.

Possible reasons:


Perhaps he's an artist with a new slant on papier machet.

Maybe he's opening his own deli but starting off slow.

Perhaps his viagra ran out so now he beats YOUR meat.

He doesn't really like corned beef but it's the only deli meat name he knows.
