I wish that being at Amelie's was the same as wanting to be at Amelie's. I'm always disappointed. It looked like they sorted out the whole line situation on my latest visit. But they only half solved the problem. I appreciate the tremendous improvement in signage. But it's still far too slow.
Today... I wanted a sandwich and a twice baked croissant. Got in the 'everything' line. Waited about 15 minutes, ordered the twice baked croissant from the pastry desk. Couldn't order my sandwich then. Was told to wait to order the sandwich at the register. 5 minutes later, ordered the sandwich. Was surprised they put together my sandwich as quickly as they did! Then was terribly disappointed when I opened my bag to find a cold, prepared-earlier-in-the-day croissant with chicken salad.
Ugh. If I wanted a cold prepared sandwich from the case, I'd save half my money and get it from the Teeter or get one as good for a few dollars less at Something Classic. And save at least 20 minutes! Instead I waited about 30 minutes for a very mediocre sandwich.
I hate getting fooled over and over. There's way too little consistency for me to 1) recommend or 2) go back.
