    Ordered 2 different orders thru the drive thru. Went to pay and they had added them together. Then I opened my bag and even tho I ordered and paid for a whole sandwich i only got half. Now im even more irritated because the drive thru took a long time and now I have to walk in and get inline again and wait yet again. They fixed however they should have gotten it right the first time. Its not like we had complicated orders or a bunch of them No special requests like no this or no that. Just straight up 2 orders. Rising cost also means worse service I guess !

    Staff failed to inform us they were out of bread. When we asked for a substitution they were very rude and refused.

    $5 for a rock solid stale cookie!?! I would've addressed it there but I took my order to go, get home to enjoy this expensive treat and it's a brick! What had happened to this place?

    Panera is always good but I fear this store is either severely understaffed or something is going on in there. I have to wait in the drive through at least 15 mins every time, consistently, even if I’m the only one in line. Please staff them better or help them figure out what’s going on. :(
