“LETT” is the clue.

Yup. That’s when I said “hey, wait a minute…”

Onion-choosing imperative is the only sane possibility. Combining mustard and lettuce is just too horrible to fathom.

Mustard must not come in contact with lettuce. Bad things could happen.

I like Tom but he needn’t pick an onion for me.

When I was in college my roommate got a burger takeout that arrived without an actual burger patty. He stared at the two sandwich halves for a good, long time before looking up with a puzzled, hurt expression and asking, “what’s the message?”

they thought he was vegan? Hindu?

Anyone who has ever had a food prep job knows what this is all about!

A brief hunt in a dictionary tells me that “lett” is an old-fashioned term for someone of Latvian descent. Also, are we sure that says Onion? Looks like it says Union to me… I guess an expatriot working at that sandwich bar is planning a picket line somewhere…?
