I ordered a Chicken salad sandwich and when I received it I got one piece of chicken on my whole sandwich and the rest was all lettuce.. when I called to speak to a manager I had to call 4 times before even speaking to someone, when she answered she told me it was their busy time and I am just going to get a card in the mail for my bad experience and not eating lunch today because they wonâ€™t replace it..
