Also salted lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, red onion and cucumber. The meat is stacked tall to give it volume and let you get a better mix of ingredients in each bite instead of laying flat. The mayo is flavored with herbs and spices and likely a bit of sugar. The French bread is fresh, as the store gets its bread delivery daily. It may just be hours out of the oven when it hits the cutting board.
Lots of factors working towards a better sandwich here, with most of them being within your grasp if you can summon the most complicated ingredient in all of cooking : effort. That’s the real secret, and its an absolute fucker.
I will point out that it generally takes more effort to make one sandwich, than it takes to make one sandwich out of a hundred. Getting fresh bread and (fresh?) spiced mayo is extra work that you only need to do once per multiple sandwiches, but it doesn’t really get easier when only making one.
All I’m saying is, enjoy things made by specialized professionals, economies of scale mean that it’s more efficient for one person to make sandwiches for their surroundings anyways!
You can make a really good sandwich at home with pre-sliced bread in a bag. With just some basic creativity it can be even better than anything you get from some chain sandwich store.

Amen to effort being the absolute fucker!
