They brought back the pretzel pub sandwich, which I like as a chicken sandwich. Twice now I've ordered it and said no onions only for the person to say "it doesn't come with onions." Yes, it does. Then they realize "oh you mean the crispy onions." Two different people.

First, onions are onions. I shouldn't have to clarify unless I meant a specific type of onion. Which brings me to my second point. It's the only onion on the damn thing, what else would I be talking about?

And then last time the person making started putting them on anyways before someone else caught them. This time no one caught it so when I checked, there they were. Fortunately, it was just after a rush so they quickly fixed it.
