To a certain coffee chain… please label your sandwiches accurately. I made the mistake of popping in over my lunch to grab a coffee and one of your premade, wrapped sandwiches to go… the label said “tuna”. Fine by me, I love tuna.
I get to my office, open the wrapper and I find enough chunks of red onion in the thing to keep a red onion farmer in the pink for a week. I’m talking tons and tons of the stuff, big, raw pieces of it, little tiny bits of it too, all mixed in with the tuna. I swear there was more raw onion than tuna. Bad enough at the best of times, but a disaster if you cannot eat raw red onion at all. After I spent 10 minutes removing all the raw onion I ended up with maybe half a tuna sandwich and a stinky pile of red onion in my trash. People later that day thought I was eating donairs in there, it smelled so bad. Please, if you’re going to sell red onion sandwiches with tuna, label then as such. Then I can buy something else.

eeeeww…. what a waste of perfectly good tuna… bastardizing it with onion stank.
you should shoot the guy that made that sandwhich…. then defaecate in his hat… then send it to his grieving widow…
and then steal it back.
You mean you threw all that delicious red onion in the garbage instead of giving it to someone who might have appreciated it, like me? This is a fucking outrage! Red onions are the best, and yes I do eat other peoples’ red onions when they don’t want them. They are God’s culinary gift to man-kind.
Red onions are terrible and becoming all to common… They’re just too cheap to get the white ones…
“They’re just too cheap to get the white ones…”
Racist!
Here’s another great reason why not to buy your sandwichs at a coffee shop, just like why I never buy clothes when I’m in a grocery store, or a book in the Building supply places !
If it smelled so bad, why didn’t you change your garbage bag? Most custodians will leave an extra garbage bag at the bottom of the can, and I would hope you know where the garbage goes…
maybe you didn’t really buy the tuna sandwich with onions…but the onion sandwhich with tuna…did you ever think of that???
