    I ordered a breakfast sandwich rapid pickup online and arrived a couple minutes early. That was a mistake they then made sure to make me wait, for 12 minutes past the time it said it would be ready. Won't be going back

    Ordered rapid pickup. My sandwich was given to me with more than half of the toppings not even on the sandwich. The cheese was literally still stuck together, I had to peel the slices apart myself to get more than one bite of a giant block of cheese right in the middle of the sandwich. Avocado wasn’t even sliced. Just two whole pieces that didn’t stay on the sandwich. It was an absolute mess. I also modified my sandwich to have NO aioli, but there was an orange aioli sauce all over half of the toppings. I do not like mayo. That is why I MODIFIED my sandwich to not have any. Overall terrible experience and this isn’t the first time this location has given me a sandwich like this.
