A quarter pound of meat is typical for a sandwich shop because if you're going to a sandwich shop for a sandwich, then you're ordering a meal. If you're only making part of a meal out of it or just a snack, feel free to use small squares for bread and only a couple of slices of deli meat and complement the sandwich with a soup.
Source: actually worked in a sandwich shop on the deli slicer where we prepacked the meat for sandwiches. Most employees at other sandwich shops I talked to used basically the same amount of meat with only one typically using a fifth of a pound and another typically using half a pound.

They're relatively light compared to say a meal I'd eat in a restaurant. Even if they're not always light on the calories.
