I came to Panera on Dennery like I do all the time. Only to encounter the worst possible experience. One.. I got a soup and they are out of bread. At a bread store!!!!! I ask if anything can be done to substitute for any other type of bread and we get attitude. The girls name is Hannah. Mind u she gave me the wrong total for two bowls and quickly fixed it and handed me change with. No receipt.
I needed my receipt so I waved her down. She saw me 3 times and ignored me completely. Then a male came to the window and I said we have been waiting here for a receipt and the girl has been ignoring me. He said” we are very busy today” to which I responded I only need a receipt as I am a paying customer too. The girl bender even came to tend to the window and had the worst look of unhappiness. Moral of the story.. if you hate your job quit! Find a new one that you can handle so you don’t have to give us..”consumers” a bad experience .

Evelyn was incredibly professional and attentive—she made my tuna sandwich perfectly! This is hands-down my favorite location. The entire staff is amazing, and it’s clear management is doing an excellent job training them. Thank you for taking such great care of your customers!
