Bunnings sausage sizzle volunteer reveals weird requests from shoppers: 'I had no idea'

A young Aussie who volunteered at a local Bunnings sausage sizzle was stunned by the requests she received.

The retailer’s weekend BBQ is an iconic event that thousands of Aussies look forward to when visiting the hardware store.

When Anna put her hand up to volunteer with a friend for charity, she expected to get the same request: a sausage in a piece of sliced bread topped with onions and tomato sauce.

Instead, she encountered two strange orders throughout the day: double sausage in a slice of bread or no bread at all.

“I was so surprised. If I knew you could upgrade to double sausage, I would've done so ages ago,” the Perth resident told Yahoo Lifestyle.

“I had just joined a group where a friend of mine was raising money for Trek to Move Mental Mountains, and we were just completely shocked by the fact that people weren't ordering the 'regular' snag in bread as often as I thought they would,” the 27-year-old business owner said.

During her short stint at the barbecue section, Anna said ordering two sausages was the “most common” request.

“A lot of people had strong opinions on the sauce and the onion being either on the bottom or the top,” she added.

Anna also said shoppers kept asking for a “freshly cooked sausage” as they clearly didn’t want one that had been sitting on the BBQ for too long.

“I had no idea people were doing this,” she said.

One sausage with onions and bread cost $2.50, and it was an additional $2 for an extra snag.

Anna posted about her experience on social media, and people were equally stunned that you could tweak the order to suit your needs.

“You can do this?” one asked.

Some suggested that people ordering a sausage without bread could be gluten intolerant and are just trying to look after their health.

As Anna mentioned, where you place the onions on the bread was also up for debate.

“Double snag, onions (on top, obviously), tomato sauce,” another wrote.

“The real question is, onions on top of sausage or underneath?? "There’s only one correct answer,” another said.

“The law says underneath, but the correct way is always on top. It's a slipping hazard, apparently,” a third added.
