    Ordered DoorDash for multiple people, they seal the sandwiches with a sticker that makes it easy for the employees to check the box that identifies the sandwich. They skipped this step. Also Panera in general is overpriced so I expect them to check the boxes.

    Really.good customer service. The food is what it is and it's definitely just a chain but the customer service is great. Shout out to Jereil for reading me the coffee options in the morning because the sun was glaring off the menue in the drive through and I couldnt see shit.

    I spoke with the manager Samuel about an issue I had with an order and the price going up after we placed the order. He blamed me and my partner and accused me of wanting to go down there because I was “confrontational”. My $30 meal went to $40 and I didn’t even really want it. On top of the 20 minute wait not cool. The cherry on top was at the end of the phone call, he slammed the phone down thinking he hung up as I heard him and the rest of the employees talking about us like were some dumb people. Learn how to hang up a phone and to help your customers without getting in you’re feelings
