Slicing Pickle Spears for Hamburgers

A lot of times I will get a pickle spear with my hamburger, not slices. If a knife is provided I will often slice it crosswise, and put the resulting slices on the burger. I find though that they are a bit too thick and they fall off of it. I've been thinking the past few days, especially in light of my recent purchase of frozen hamburger patties and pickle spears (that was all that they had at Duane Reade) that I might want to consider slicing them lengthwise. We will see where this goes.

Update (as of 3-24-13): The lengthwise slices of pickle spears still slipped off the burger. When I put them underneath the burger they didn't slip out as much. I'm not sure I'll have the presence of mind to continue that practice in the future. Also, I have a sharp knife at home, but when I eat out I often don't and it really requires a sharp knife.
