I ordered a chicken pesto wrap through the drive through today. It was nothing like advertised; looked nothing like the picture. There was very little in it and it looked like it was just slapped together. I brought it into the store and to the managers attention and he said they were only allowed to put 1 oz of chicken in the wrap and everything was measured but he offered to remake it. It was better the second time but still nothing like the advertised picture. He did offer to give me a refund however, I would rather the company fix the issue. Why advertise something you can't live up to? Either fix it or change your pictures. You will probably have happier customers if they know what they are purchasing.
