I've made suggestions after lower quality than I was used to and kept giving them chances but the new crews just don't seem to care as much anymore.

Maybe it was the absence of cars in the parking lot or the many people I have talked to that said it's not worth theprice. However, I am now forced to eat healthier so I went today and tried the Roasted Turkey Avocado BLT with BroccoliCheddar soup. I saw the advertisement with the crisp bacon and turkey piled high. What I got was undercooked bacon and onepitiful slice of turkey. The bread was horrible and the avocado just made it a mushy, hard to eat mess. The flavorless, BroccoliCheddar soup was a bigger disappointment. It wasn't seasoned well at all. There was no broccoli at all, just the watery yellowsoup stuff and those little seed things that are on the ends of broccoli. The best part of the meal was the Mountain Dew, butyou can never go wrong with that. At $24.83, it was a waste of time and certainly my money. I'll never be back and I'll tellanyone I come into contact with not to waste their money their either. McAlister's is a much better value and much better food!

Unfortunate, as I really enjoy Panera.
