So a lunch I was absolutely looking forward to was ruined and of course we live 45min away!! When you spend hard earned money and it comes WRONG the disappointment is on a bigger scale!! When I looked for a customer service # nothing was found. How messed up that I had to pick apart the sandwiches to make them right.
