This Panera has absolutely zero regards for their customer's safety. One night patiently waiting for my food, I was wrongfully accused of staring at somebody, who btw took it completely out of context. I attempted to deescalate the situation twice but the dude saw that as a weakness. He proceeded to yell and curse with families present in the building. He begins to try to charge me but doesnt get close enough for me to respond, Panera is lucky I am a trained fighter and I know when to strike. Mind you, all he bought was a coffee, management had more than enough time to get escort him out of the building as he called us poor peasants for eating at Panera and chose to do nothing. Be thankful I am a disciplined fighter. Staff needs to be trained to respond, not react to individuals like this. I couldve easily sent him to the hospital and not a care in the world, so if your going to eat here, be prepared to defend yourself, because they wont step in to help you!

It’s literally winter, and for some ridiculous reason, they’ve got the AC blasting. So if you plan on coming to this Panera, bring a jacket—and maybe some earmuffs too.
