I very, very rarely get lettuce of any sort when getting a burger or sub, even though I generally like it. Never know how long it has been sitting out or when it was prepared.
This goes quadruple for joints that shred their lettuce. I don’t care for shredded lettuce in the first place, but I also had a bad experience.
I once hit a late night Jimmy John’s in Champaign as it was the only thing open on a drive home. I mindlessly ordered without implementing my usual “no lettuce” policy.
I get back on the road, take a bite, and immediately I’m smacked to my core with this terrible rancid taste. I turned on the dome light and the salad, all of it, was brown. Disgusting. I tried to scrape it off, but with mayo and the nature of shredded lettuce, you really can’t. So I angrily just threw the whole kit and kaboodle out of my car window.
The sandwich struck a biker, who wiped out. When I went to check on him, he booted my dog into the Pacific Ocean. Strange.
