Two separate instances this weekend. First, Saturday the cashier was not courteous or listening. It was the closest to a robot that I have ever seen. Multiple dine-in orders were wrong, but only one corrected.
Second, tried to get a box of bagels. Never, in all my years, has Panera bread said they didn’t have bagels. 5 different cities and this is the first one in 22 years that couldn’t deliver with a 2 hour online notice. Every other locationI have gotten in drive-thru with no notice.
This is the “Panera breadless” of Panera.

It took me 20 minutes sitting in the drive thru for 6 presliced bagels. They have to do better with the wait time.

They constantly leave stuff out of my order. This is the 10th time complaining about the quality of my food or things being g left out without any offeres for replacement. Im calling corporate today about this. Im going to make sure this gets escalated BEYOND management. This is absolutely ridiculous. This location is the worst place to order food from in the area. CONSTANT, back to back issues. This food isnt cheap and you people need to make sure its all right.
