Spend your days counting down down until lunchtime because you've got the best packed sandos.
If you know your meal deals from your sourdough sarnies, this might just be the perfect job for you.
A coffee shop in Leeds is hiring for the dream job of a sandwich tester - and if you're anything like us you'll already be polishing up your butty eating CV, reports The Manc.
200 Degrees coffee shop is on the hunt for someone with a 'passion for sandwiches' to help it taste its new menu of sarnies. If that isn't a dream role, to be honest we don't know what is.
Requirements include a 'passion for sandwiches', and the 'ability to consume a large amount of bread'.
The lucky sandwich tester must also be happy to travel to a 200 Degrees coffee shop, give feedback on sandwiches and be photographed on eight different platforms.
The sandwich tester also cannot be vegan or vegetarian, as they will be required to eat some meat products, in exchange for a 'competitive salary' (and by that, they mean all the sandwiches you can eat).
So far, so standard. However, the ad also says that no previous experience eating sandwiches is required, which does seem a bit odd to us.
How else does one become a qualified sandwich expert, if not by eating lots and lots of sandwiches, we wonder?

Sharing the roles with followers, a post shared on 200 Degrees Instagram reads: "We have an amazing opportunity to join the 200 Degrees Family (well, for one day only)
"We're unleashing our brand-spanking-new menu and are now searching for an exceptional human to join the team as our Sandwich Tester.
"If you have a passion for sandwiches, this could be your perfect role."
Those wanting to apply are instructed to pile on in the comments and tell the coffee shop why they would be the best choice for the sandwich testing job - and there already seems to be some stiff competition.
One person said: "I spend my whole life thinking about my next meal and reviewing food all around the UK. Ohhhh and I’m a sucker for a sarnie!!!"
Another said: "I’ll do it! Im the perfect candidate. Always hungry, drink all the coffees, eat all the food categories and I own stretchy pants… I’m also fundraising manager for Footprints so you’d be support charity too…"
A third added: "Not a day goes by where I don't eat bread - I have a breadmaking tattoo! Sandwiches are my most common lunch (80% or more), so I think the passion is there. Also photos of me tend to come out alright. Sign me up!"
A fourth commented: "Every November and December, I meticulously review every supermarket Christmas sandwich in can find, you can see all of them in the highlight on my page - this may be the actual perfect job for me."
Applications for the role are open until midnight on 12 August via 200 Degrees Instagram.

A bakery serving giant NYC-style cookies and fluffy cinnamon buns has just opened in Leeds
If you've got a seriously sweet tooth, then you're going to love this new opening.
It seems like there's been a flurry of new bakeries popping up in and around Leeds recently, and we're certainly not complaining.
Introducing Crumbb, a beautiful new bakery that has just opened its doors on Hyde Park Road just moments outside of the city centre.
Owner Naila started the businesses as a wholesaler six years ago, stocking up local businesses from far and wide with sweet treats.

Since then, Crumbbs opened its first location in Bradford just a few months ago that has been nothing short of a resounding success. So much so, that Crumbbs 2.0 was born right here in Leeds a few days ago.
Right, let's talk you through what's on offer.
For the sweet toothed out there, there's a whole myriad of treats for you to enjoy. We're talking giant NYC-style cookies, fluffy cinnamon buns topped with gooey icing, brownies slices, cookie muffins, rocky road, flapjack, the list is truly endless.

You can even get warm cookie trays and hot brownies to enjoy in house that can be topped with ice cream or thick custard.
And it doesn't stop there, Crumbbs also whip up freshly baked savoury focaccia slices as well as cheese twists, pizza slices and savoury rolls filled with creamy mozzarella and herbs.
They've also got a fabulous drink selection on offer including matcha, coffee and hot chocolates.
Located in Headingley, we've got a feeling this spot is going to be a huge hit with students and locals alike looking to get their sweet treat fix. But they'll have to beat us to it first.
The hidden Leeds bakery serving giant cheese twists, pickle sausage rolls and chocolate focaccia
Clementine Hall
This spot in the city is baking up some weird and wonderful creations.
But you'll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on them, as it's only open one day a week for all your doughy desires.
Introducing Fold, a focaccia-focused bakery by the talented team behind The Cheesy Living Co.
Rewind to this time last year and with three restaurants flourishing across Leeds, the team needed a space to bake all their bread and sweet treats in-house to supply to sites.

And this is where Fold came in, located underneath the arches of Brussels Street on the outskirts of the city centre - it may take a while to find this spot but once you have, it'll be worth it.
And they're making some of the most inventive bakes that we've seen.
Of course there'll always be a focaccia on offer, with flavours ranging from crispy chilli oil, sesame and spring onion to kimchi, cheese and pistachio.

And it's not just savoury focaccia, you'll even find gooey chocolate and banana focaccia as well as Biscoff waffle focaccia....yep, seriously.
Elsewhere they specialise in gigantic footlong cheese twists with more crispy bits than soft, as well as chorizo and cheese stuffed sausage rolls and a range of freshly baked bagels for you to go home and smear in your cream cheese of choice.

Some seriously spectacular specials have been the gochujang cookies and the 'pickle roll', basically like a sausage roll but with...pickles.
It seems there's really no boundaries for where these bakes will go, and you can guarantee that every visit will be different than the rest.
Only open on Saturdays from 10am - 1pm, Fold are changing the baking game. Pop in and say hello, you won't be disappointed.
