<raising hand> For some meats, anyway...

I like ham and roast beef sliced super thin ("shaved"), and I request it

Dunno, but seems like you could maybe tell them how you want it sliced,
if they don't ask you??? (I can't remember the last time a deli clerk
didn't ask me how I wanted something sliced...)
