Panera Bread

I had the mini cheese biscuits on an early Sat. morning. The good thing about this place is, it's the only store open super early in the area. The mini biscuits were fresh, although I wish they would of offered to toast them. They were also super cheap, $2 for 2/3 mini biscuits. Good place to stop in to get a bite and hot drink.

I'm always a Panera fan. This place does well, especially the cheery morning crew.

I didn't buy anything here.

I tried to.

See, I'm staying across the street at the Hyatt for a few days, but between wedding-related festivities I really needed to get some work done, which requires internet. The free wifi available in the Hyatt lobby is AOL-dial-up-level slow, and I was unwilling to pay $9.95 to get a few hours of connectivity.

So across the street to Panera I went, and ordered a large coffee to both perk me up and make me at least a little less of a mooch.

When I pulled out the only bill I had (a $20), the nice man at the counter said "I don't want you to have to break this ... have a great day!" and gave it back to me.

I was astounded. I happily filled my coffee up. And now I am typing away, and getting things accomplished, on much faster wifi.

That's it,  I'll be back tomorrow, and paying for sure.
