12! would be if you could choose how to order the 12 toppings, but that's not what you're doing - you're choosing a subset of them

Well order is certainly an option, at least around here.

I've seen how they make sandwiches; the process is approximate enough that the order doesn't really matter. At least, not nearly as much as the choice to add or omit any particular topping would matter.

Location matters too. Around here, customers usually request toppings one at a time and watch them being added. In the UK (or at least in Leicester), I believe the typical interaction goes something like, "Salad?" followed by a negative or affirmative response.
