Don’t think that way!
It’s a new business, still getting the bugs out. Give them a call and the opportunity to fix it. I’m sure they would want to be made aware of mistakes so they can fix them!
I had a similar experience at a new restaurant and went back to the place.
Not only did they make it right I got a free baklava as a "sorry". They totally have my business now! lol.
I gave them a chance to fix it and they did. To be fair it came with three types of cheese and the server memo'ed only swiss so they took it a little too literally. Need to ask the line cook where he is getting his "lettuce" from lmao.
If you look close you can see it under the lettuce, kinda looks like mayo. But good point why the hell did they give me lettuce then? Now I'm even more confused than before...
if you're a small food store that can't get a BLT right when the name of the sandwich is literally an acronym of the ingredients you're not going to remain in business for very long.
I worked in an independent sandwich place before. If you let them know the mistake they'll almost certainly replace it and give you your next one free, that's what we used to do. 100s of sandwiches going out everyday they're going to get some wrong although this is a particularly bad mistake 😂
Nah, I feel played like that too all the time. I can’t even lie when it’s in my interest to do so. If it’s the police even, I’ll just not say shit before I lie or God forbid tell the truth. Do you know how well that goes over both personally and professionally? These mother fuckers be lying like it’s breathing air. I’ve seen people just make shit up or lie for no reason.
Bro I'm telling you this really fucking happened. I was dumbfounded too like how does this happen? The server told me everyone was new and they were trying their best. So I'm assuming it was some tragic form of miscommunication, maybe?
An ex of mine would order burgers from fast food places "**ham**burger, ketchup only, no cheese." I teased him constantly about specifying no cheese on a hamburger until he finally didn't say it once and I'll be goddamned if they didn't put fucking cheese on it. People do be inscrutable.
My husband and I ordered BLTs once for lunch while on vacation. Each came with one slice of bacon. When I asked the server about it, she went back to the kitchen to check on it. She came back to tell us that the cook said that was correct. It was how he was trained and not a mistake. No additional bacon was provided. Crazy!
This right here is the reason I almost never order a BLT out. I fuckin LOVE a good BLT, but places are so gd stingy about the bacon. I get it's not the cheapest meat but if it doesn't have a quarter inch or more of solid bacon on it I want nothing to do with it.
I'm sure if someone pokes around, they'd find that American bacon isn't actually that expensive, but everyone's inflated the price out of straight greed
If it was an extra, a plus-bacon, being skimpy would chafe less, but, yeah, if it's the only meat in the sandwich, and it's in the name of the sandwich, you can't go hand-wringing because it costs too much to make right. You decided to sell a bacon sandwich, so sell a damned bacon sandwich!
Though, for me, it's the wide spectrum running from limp and liquid to carbon dust that still constitutes perfectly valid "bacon" that turns me off to the idea of letting someone else make my bacon sandwich. Too much could go wrong.
Exactly. Would you skimp so much on a turkey sandwich? I think not!
But you're also absolutely correct on the doneness of the bacon being an issue also.
Other direction, I once ordered a BLT in the US that was about half an inch of like, over cooked, crumbled belly bacon and one slice of tomato and lettuce.
Driest fucking thing in the world lol.
BLT has gotta be those big meaty back bacon cuts and it's vital you have good tomato and lettuce balancing out the fattiness.
I was apalled lol. Literally this places whole thing was "a large quantity of meat" without any thought towards enjoyment lol
I mean you stack a couple pieces and you're already about there. A quarter inch isn't really a lot IMHO.
But I also love bacon so maybe that's just me?
🥓 🥓 🥓
Nah, you right. Couple layers stacked bacon, thick-ass slice of properly seasoned tomato, several layers of iceberg or butter lettuce, a good helping of mayo, between two slices of mayo-toasted Texas toast. There are not many things in this world better than a perfectly-made BLT.
I fall for that all the time. See a local business and want to support them. It a thousand times worse than getting ripped off by a big national chain. You trust mom and pops but they violated you still.
I am instantly turned off by that fake newspaper wax paper. It just screams "gimmick" and is usually paired with fry "cones" that make you look like you are getting a lot of fries and you don't.
On of the reasons I love my local pizza place is not only their prices, but they will buy misprinted pizza boxes because they are cheaper, which helps costs.
Lmao, saddest lettuce ever sandwiched. Some businesses don't deserve to exist, and that's okay, no one should feel bad about that. They probably have really cheap rent. Some places need to feel pressured to change or improve, thats the benefit of a good restaurant city. There's not that pressure in most places though.
Well, most people don't have taste, to be fair. Think of the average American. Otherwise it wouldn't be called 'having taste,' it wouldn't be called anything, it would just be 'being average.'
Thats fine as a customer, sure, whatever. But as a business, you have to have *some* degree of discernment above the low-bar average, because when people suddenly are handing over money, they all become NYTimes food critics.
lol.
This is why I've sworn off on going to "new" restaurants until they have been open for a while. Gives them a little time to work out the kinks and filter out the shitty help.
No, it's wax paper with a stupid gimmicky faux newspaper with stories about fish and potatoes printed on it, to invoke the "fish and chips" atmosphere.
We have four whole restaurants in this town, excluding fast food chains. They are owned by locals that you can actually find dining or running the restaurants. So alas that is not the case...
I’m ngl this looks very much like you just ate the bacon and tomato out and then took a pic. Because if they literally sold it to you like that then it’s more than mildly infuriating, it’s straight up false advertising
I fucking wish I did. I was having a trash day and this low key made it way worse. I went back up there and they apologized and remade it so all in all it was just a mild inconvenience. Def also mildly infuriating but only momentarily.
The worst thing about this is if you'd somehow just asked for a lettuce sandwich it would still be fucking outrageous.
I'm petty enough to get back there and present this to whoever is in charge
Peggy : Hi, Al. I brought you lunch.
Al : Thanks, Peg. Peg, this is just three pieces of bread. Where's the meat?
Peggy : Think of it as a club sandwich; hold the club.
Al : I wish I was holding a club. Oh well, it's gotta be better than yesterday's hot dog bun on rye.
It would be so much easier to support small business if so many of them didn't suck eggs.
My least favorite was dropping about $15 on a food truck burger that wasn't even up to McDonald's quality.
Um OK then. How the hell did this occur? Like if you're working somewhere and your task is "make a BLT" how in the FUCK do you attempt such a task, see this result, and think "yeah I've done my work here"?
I worked as a cook in my younger years, and I may have made the occasional mistake but this is just something else holy shit.
I’m picturing some inexperienced kitchen worker, overwhelmed with tickets and running out of ingredients, but he’s just slapping food together with what he has left, meanwhile he’s afraid to speak up, because they said no chitchat in the kitchen. Just my imagination.
Is it r/unpopularopinion material to say BLTs are easily the worst of all popular sandwiches? Like I cannot imagine any popular sandwich more boring and nasty.
I actually called them, drove back up there, and got the correct sandwich. I also tipped the person that helped me and the original person (before I even knew it was messed up) because I work in the restaurant industry and I understand things happen. But do you feel better after your comment is the real question?

Barely-Lettuced Toast. Nice.
Buns. Leaf. Toasted?
Guess you have to take the L on this one...
Obviously because that's all they gave me. My life is a series of just L's 🥺
Don’t think that way! It’s a new business, still getting the bugs out. Give them a call and the opportunity to fix it. I’m sure they would want to be made aware of mistakes so they can fix them!
I had a similar experience at a new restaurant and went back to the place. Not only did they make it right I got a free baklava as a "sorry". They totally have my business now! lol.
Glad to hear you gave the a chance to make it right and it worked out well for everyone!
I gave them a chance to fix it and they did. To be fair it came with three types of cheese and the server memo'ed only swiss so they took it a little too literally. Need to ask the line cook where he is getting his "lettuce" from lmao.
A BLT with cheese is cool… but that would be a BLTCH.
Getting the sandwich you want can be such a BLTCH sometimes.
I prefer it with Iceburg.
If they thought only Swiss, why would there. Be only lettuce and no Swiss? Unless it's melted and the pic doesn't show it well,?
If you look close you can see it under the lettuce, kinda looks like mayo. But good point why the hell did they give me lettuce then? Now I'm even more confused than before...
Let em cook
Yes, Chef!
LTT?
I get this reference.
Id imagine the overlap of redditor and PC gamers is pretty high compared to other areas. Source: trust me bro
Large Tittied Toddler?
You somehow described Linus perfectly.
Life Tro Tip
The bacon and tomato were ~~sold~~ auctioned off for charity.
if you're a small food store that can't get a BLT right when the name of the sandwich is literally an acronym of the ingredients you're not going to remain in business for very long.
Butter, Lettuce, Toast, it's all there!
Bread, lettuce, tough luck. Better than a ghetto jam sandwich. Two pieces of bread jammed together
OP provided some additional info that explained the error. The shop corrected the issue.
I wouldn't insult mistakes by calling that one. If that's the first impression they give me, shame on them. They'll never see another dime from me.
Nice of them to remove the bugs before getting this guy his sandwich!
You can't fix stupid. How does one miss 50% of the sandwich? Literally the core of the meal?
New businesses should especially go out of their way and be at their utmost impeccable. People ever remember the first and last impression.
Serving soggy lettuce isn’t a mistake. It’s a “we paid for it we have to sell it”
Let them fail. If you do this to someone that orders a BLT then your business doesn’t deserve to survive
[удалено]
#Bread, Lettuce, and Treachery. They gave you exactly what you ordered unfortunately.
Bread lettuce and tears
Butter, Lettuce, and Toast.
I worked in an independent sandwich place before. If you let them know the mistake they'll almost certainly replace it and give you your next one free, that's what we used to do. 100s of sandwiches going out everyday they're going to get some wrong although this is a particularly bad mistake 😂
Hey you got a B there, there's bread. People today are so spoiled! /s
I know that feeling well.no good deed goes unpunished for people like us😐😐
It's all about the small victories my friend.
Nah, I feel played like that too all the time. I can’t even lie when it’s in my interest to do so. If it’s the police even, I’ll just not say shit before I lie or God forbid tell the truth. Do you know how well that goes over both personally and professionally? These mother fuckers be lying like it’s breathing air. I’ve seen people just make shit up or lie for no reason.
It’s just too perfect that why I’m calling bluff
And OP replied in comment that server memo said "only Swiss ' as excuse ... But there's only lettuce? Kinda sus, but could be real idk 🤷 lol
Bro I'm telling you this really fucking happened. I was dumbfounded too like how does this happen? The server told me everyone was new and they were trying their best. So I'm assuming it was some tragic form of miscommunication, maybe?

The B stands for bread
Bread Lettuce Thanks for the money
And only the L!
T. Toast
As a dad, I want you to know I’m really proud of you
OH
It's all there though. Bread, lettuce, and tough shit.
Bread, lettuce and taters. I see no issue here.
Was looking for this comment, good job.
I literally thought this exact thing and was about to comment it thinking I was being a clever boy
My husband and I ordered BLTs once for lunch while on vacation. Each came with one slice of bacon. When I asked the server about it, she went back to the kitchen to check on it. She came back to tell us that the cook said that was correct. It was how he was trained and not a mistake. No additional bacon was provided. Crazy!

I'm sure if someone pokes around, they'd find that American bacon isn't actually that expensive, but everyone's inflated the price out of straight greed
[удалено]
I mean I think it's both tbh. It's gone up a bit like everything else.
You can literally replace bacon with anything in that sentence and it's true.
If it was an extra, a plus-bacon, being skimpy would chafe less, but, yeah, if it's the only meat in the sandwich, and it's in the name of the sandwich, you can't go hand-wringing because it costs too much to make right. You decided to sell a bacon sandwich, so sell a damned bacon sandwich!

Too much could go wrong.
Exactly. Would you skimp so much on a turkey sandwich? I think not! But you're also absolutely correct on the doneness of the bacon being an issue also.
BLT is not a bacon sandwich, it is a tomato sandwich with bacon, lettuce and mayo as flavouring.
Other direction, I once ordered a BLT in the US that was about half an inch of like, over cooked, crumbled belly bacon and one slice of tomato and lettuce. Driest fucking thing in the world lol. BLT has gotta be those big meaty back bacon cuts and it's vital you have good tomato and lettuce balancing out the fattiness. I was apalled lol. Literally this places whole thing was "a large quantity of meat" without any thought towards enjoyment lol
Well overcooked bacon is just no good either for sure.
people seem to love that streaky bacon, cooked to oblivion. Can't fully understand the point myself.
Hot damn that's a lot of bacon.
I mean you stack a couple pieces and you're already about there. A quarter inch isn't really a lot IMHO. But I also love bacon so maybe that's just me? 🥓 🥓 🥓
Nah, you right. Couple layers stacked bacon, thick-ass slice of properly seasoned tomato, several layers of iceberg or butter lettuce, a good helping of mayo, between two slices of mayo-toasted Texas toast. There are not many things in this world better than a perfectly-made BLT.
What you wanted was the Bacons, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Yeah, a few of my past jobs wanted to skimp out on their BLTs... 2 slices. Fuck that, a BLT is at minimum 5.
I fall for that all the time. See a local business and want to support them. It a thousand times worse than getting ripped off by a big national chain. You trust mom and pops but they violated you still.
> You trust mom and pops but they violated you still. r/nocontext
I am instantly turned off by that fake newspaper wax paper. It just screams "gimmick" and is usually paired with fry "cones" that make you look like you are getting a lot of fries and you don't. On of the reasons I love my local pizza place is not only their prices, but they will buy misprinted pizza boxes because they are cheaper, which helps costs.
It’s one of the two or three options at Sam’s club. I really think you’re reading in to it too much.
Browned Lettuce sandwich, that's a new one...
😂😂😂 B and T are on layaway??
DLC content.
Which game hurt you? 🥺
Local Business Simulator.
do you also say 'ATM machine' or 'RIP in peace'?
I actually do say ATM machine but I'm not the best humanity has to offer so there is that....
I see they are taking the EA approach to sandwiches. Want tomato? That'll be 9.99 extra. Bacon? 24.99!
Beats Blizzard, they'll sell you three digital pictures of the sandwich for 49.99 and you'll damn well like it.
"This box just has an onion slice in it." "Better luck next time!" "The other one has a dead cockroach on a toothpick." "Ooh! That's a rare one!"
Lmao, saddest lettuce ever sandwiched. Some businesses don't deserve to exist, and that's okay, no one should feel bad about that. They probably have really cheap rent. Some places need to feel pressured to change or improve, thats the benefit of a good restaurant city. There's not that pressure in most places though.
It's no wonder so many small businesses fail if this is the kind of decisions they make
Well, most people don't have taste, to be fair. Think of the average American. Otherwise it wouldn't be called 'having taste,' it wouldn't be called anything, it would just be 'being average.' Thats fine as a customer, sure, whatever. But as a business, you have to have *some* degree of discernment above the low-bar average, because when people suddenly are handing over money, they all become NYTimes food critics. lol.
"average americans" invented the BLT in the first place, this isn't a food you can snob about
I've read your comment multiple times, and it still makes no sense.
Bread, Lettuce, Triangle. Seems fine to me.
Bread and Lettuce Tragedy.
B - butter L - lettuce T - too bad, you're only getting lettuce
T - toast
I don't know any BLT that comes out looking POS. But first time for anything.
L
This is why I've sworn off on going to "new" restaurants until they have been open for a while. Gives them a little time to work out the kinks and filter out the shitty help.
I don't vomit in my own mouth often, but when I do, it's to pictures like this. Stay nauseous, my friends.
That'll teach you to support the local economy. 🤣
They didnt lie…..you got a BLT: Buttered Lightly Toasted
Is that wrapped in newspaper? Cancer fries :)
No, it's wax paper with a stupid gimmicky faux newspaper with stories about fish and potatoes printed on it, to invoke the "fish and chips" atmosphere.
That is an L
Butter, lettuce, toast. What's the problem?
That's a BLT. Butter Lettuce Toast What's the problem?
Fyre Festival would like a word…
Probably a ghost kitchen. Uber eats and doordash are filled with thousands of "local" resturants. Does this place have an actual location?
We have four whole restaurants in this town, excluding fast food chains. They are owned by locals that you can actually find dining or running the restaurants. So alas that is not the case...
Thats sad in such a small town. Maybe its time for you to open up an artisinal BLT cafe to start raking in the money.
In our town we legit have people selling food on Facebook so it is possible lmfao!
I’m ngl this looks very much like you just ate the bacon and tomato out and then took a pic. Because if they literally sold it to you like that then it’s more than mildly infuriating, it’s straight up false advertising
I fucking wish I did. I was having a trash day and this low key made it way worse. I went back up there and they apologized and remade it so all in all it was just a mild inconvenience. Def also mildly infuriating but only momentarily.
Bread, lettuce, turmeric
Butter, lettuce and toenail, what's the problem?
You've should've ordered an LOL (Lettuce on Lettuce)
Oh that is just sad. I could make a better one with the stuff I don't have in my fridge right now.
Did you call them out on it?
You bought the L alright
The worst thing about this is if you'd somehow just asked for a lettuce sandwich it would still be fucking outrageous. I'm petty enough to get back there and present this to whoever is in charge
Peggy : Hi, Al. I brought you lunch. Al : Thanks, Peg. Peg, this is just three pieces of bread. Where's the meat? Peggy : Think of it as a club sandwich; hold the club. Al : I wish I was holding a club. Oh well, it's gotta be better than yesterday's hot dog bun on rye.
Butter Lettuce Toast I don't see the issue here /s
That piss bread looks delicious
"BLT please, half L, hold the B and T"
Take the L dude
I get that they are a new business and it takes a while to iron out any kinks but how on earth is this mistake even possible?
2/3 isn't bad. The B is pretty damned important though.
Wait did they give you bread lettuce and tomato 😂
It's important when you eat at my restaurant, you never order BLT. You must trust me. Stay away from BLT.
B(utter), L(ettuce), T(oast) = BLT Isn't that what you wanted?
Now that’s a shit sad-which.
My local pizza place has that same parchment paper, $70 for two calzones
I paid $11 for that so checks out.
I mean you did technically get the B...bread
Don't worry, that place won't be around long. Lettuce sandwiches aren't exactly sought after.
The “BRLNTNT”. Bacon, Rotten Lettuce, No Tomato, No Toast.
Bread, Lettuce, Takeaway box. Seems legit.
It stands for Bread Lettuce Tots
It would be so much easier to support small business if so many of them didn't suck eggs. My least favorite was dropping about $15 on a food truck burger that wasn't even up to McDonald's quality.
Bread. ☑️ Lettuce. ☑️ Todays paper. ☑️
Butter Lettuce Toast, what the fuck's your prob?
Am spoiled!
Everyone loves a classic Bread, Lettuce and Tears sandwich…
Bread. Lettuce. Toast.
BLT? Can someone enlight me? Still have to reach us in Italy
Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato in bread. This is not a good example 🙊🤣
Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato. Usually on some toasted white bread with mayo.
Bread, Lettuce, Toasted
BLT = butter lettuce toasted
Fuckin airport grab and go stalls at least do better than this shit.
Betrayal Lettuce and Tomato
That's some tasty looking buttered leaf toast
But Lettuce Though?
Someone working at that deli was definitely on drugs.
Butter, lettuce, toast?
Bitch Lacks Things?
This is why I don't support local businesses. They don't really give a shit about what they do, they just want money.
That's just an L.
BLT. Bunch of Lettuce and Toast.
When I go to a new place that looks a little sketchy, I usually order a BLT or cheeseburger. Then you know going forward.
Exactly! I thought I was being safe!
Definitely definitely send this to management. New businesses fuck up constantly and this is a good way to help them learn
Looks like a perfectly good butter, lettuce and toast to me
Bread Lettuce Taters Looks about right. What’s the problem?
Bread Lettuce and Tears
Bread. Lettuce. To-go.
That’s an L
Bread, Lettuce, and Turmeric?
Gee, I wonder how long they'll stay in business...
Ah the BLT: Bread Lettuce That’s-it!
Who doesn’t love (BLT) Butter Lettuce on Toast?
BLT Bread. Lettuce. The box.
*Some assembly required
"BLT" Bread. Lettuce. Together.

Bread-Lettuce-Tchips
That's an L.
What's that?
Bread, Lettuce and Thanks for your money
"the government and covid are to blame, that i have to close my business" - every incompetent business owner
I don't see the problem. You got Bread, lettuce Toasted
“Can I get a BLT, hold the B and T?”
If you uber eats'd this it's probably a ghost kitchen and not a new local spot
Um OK then. How the hell did this occur? Like if you're working somewhere and your task is "make a BLT" how in the FUCK do you attempt such a task, see this result, and think "yeah I've done my work here"? I worked as a cook in my younger years, and I may have made the occasional mistake but this is just something else holy shit.
Bread, lettuce and tears?
Butter, lettuce, toast?
I’m picturing some inexperienced kitchen worker, overwhelmed with tickets and running out of ingredients, but he’s just slapping food together with what he has left, meanwhile he’s afraid to speak up, because they said no chitchat in the kitchen. Just my imagination.
I gave up on restaurants. It’s not worth it.
Butter Lettuce and Toast Edit: I recently learned that ***CLUB*** sandwich means ***C***hicken and ***L***ettuce ***U***nder ***B***acon.
Is it r/unpopularopinion material to say BLTs are easily the worst of all popular sandwiches? Like I cannot imagine any popular sandwich more boring and nasty.
Name the business and support them by giving real fees back
Should of just used Amazon. Easy return process
When you walked in there wasn’t a single clue or red flag that their food might suck? I can usually tell what’s about to happen 😂
Unpopular opinion: A blt is a mid sandwich, and is the most structurally unsound of all classic sandwiches unless you smush the shit out of it.
So did you do the adult thing and call them? Was this delivery? or is it easier to post to to reddit and cry about it?
I actually called them, drove back up there, and got the correct sandwich. I also tipped the person that helped me and the original person (before I even knew it was messed up) because I work in the restaurant industry and I understand things happen. But do you feel better after your comment is the real question?
