Cheerful--Wendy's always puts onions on my sandwiches when I ask them not to, so I feel you! Arby's is 50/50 on that.

My point was that people shouldn't have to tell every waiter in a restaurant about food allergies or medical conditions if according to the menu their dish is not supposed to have the food in question on it. I had no reason to think that red onion and jalepenos would be put all over the top of my pasta dish, so I never would've thought to tell the waiter to keep onions and jalepenos away. But I'm getting REALLY tired of having my order completely ignored and my food brought out NOT as I ordered it. It is gross and rude for me to pick apart my salad/sandwich/pasta/entree to remove the pieces I asked to NOT be included.
And when I tell a server to "hold the tomatoes" or whatever, I shouldn't have to tell them I have a food allergy in order to make it happen. If it's such a pain in the ass for that establishment, there are plenty of other places I can get a great meal and service.
