| - This location is fine. Paneras are pretty consistent across the board, but tend to vary in two spots:
1) Service
2) Preparation
Service: great, actually. Surprisingly so. A line had started to form and another worker stepped up to open a second register. Realizing there was still another line, yet another person came up to run a third register so all were manned. I don't think I've ever seen this at any establishment, let alone a fast-food style place.
Preparation: not so great. I got the Turkey Avocado BLT, my go-to order. The bread pieces were a bit small for the contents of the sandwich (likely the end of a loaf) and had a crazy amount of mayo on it. The mayo was also regular mayo instead of the sandwich's usual olive oil mayo - not a huge deal, but I've actually found the olive oil mayo tastes considerably better. The avocado on the sandwich was just a couple of big chunks instead of slices or more manageable pieces, causing them to fall out and only be in a couple of bites instead of evenly distributed. For almost $10, I expect a little more. I know they were busy but I'm happy to wait another two minutes to have my sandwich put together in a less sloppy fashion.
Not the best trip I've had to a Panera, but not bad in and of itself - I know they're capable of better, though, so it was a little disappointing.
