You might be pleasantly surprised. I regularly request endorsement where 1st class isn't available (including lack of catering etc) and most TMs are more than happy to
XC TMs regularly write an endorsement on the receipt of a sandwich as "no first class sandwich available"?

Yes - they are the same sandwiches and wraps. Same sausage roll too - if that’s still available in first. However I’m guessing policy dictates a certain number allocated to first, and a certain number to standard. Common sense would say this should be overturned in case of stock shortages, but this probably doesn’t prevail in such a policy.
The sausage rolls are ghastly.
