As former food professional* I side on diagonal. Because it makes the sandwich appear bigger.
And bigger is better.

 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

Loaf bread (classic 'wonderbread' shape): straight.
Oblong loafs or baguettes: angle.

I am a proponent of the straight cut.
I also fold certain sandwiches. |

Diagonal, because it's cooler this way.

| Diagonal, although I always cut them straight. So maybe I'm nuts. |

Diagonally for sure...I like the acute angles.

| Straight, because diagonal produces an asymetric sandwich. |

Neither, somewhere in between. Closer to straight but at an angle, around 25 degrees probably, defintely not corner to corner, defintely not straight across. I am an artist.

HPM, I agree with uncut. Thanks. You and I really bond. I should travel to England where we could hang out and eat ice cream.
Kathryn, do you prefer vinyl to CD? I surmised the possibility from your claim that bigger is better.
BLT, genius. I would have never thought of that.
Tobafett, highly observant.
LBF, I highly praise your refusal to conform to a standard. Your artistry will always be appreciated by me.
Floop, this is your second best topic ever. |

diagonal, it fits better, with a straight cut you can rough up the corners of your mouth if the bread is toasted, and i like to toast. since i've been eating wraps lately it has'nt come up.
(chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomatoe, hot peppers and blue cheese)
ummm......bacon. |

| Open sandwich sliced into fingers, closed sliced into quarters on the diagonal. |

As always, BLT speaks the truth (as one might guess from his nom de plume). For sandwiches, I side with Katherine on the diagonal cut. I like the crust-to-middle ratio better. There is one exception, however. If I make a peanut butter and honey sandwich, it must not be cut but folded upon itself and only using one piece of bread.
C'est la loi de Dean. :)

Peanut butter and honey? You won't be getting that if you return to our country pal.
By the way, are you coming back?

larger sub/hero/grinder/hoagie (whatever you call it in your region) - straight

| I was just talking slices of bread sandwiches - if we're talking subs, then that depends entirely on the filling. |

I never slice sandwiches.
On a related topic, it bugs me that Subway stopped using the wedge cut for their rolls.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

I think you could answer your own question by phrasing it "What's their beef?"
