The portions are way smaller, they only give you like 2 little pieces of chicken in the funi apple salad and the chip bag is much smaller but the pruce has increased.

I haven’t been to Panera Bread in a few months, I was very shocked about how they downsized the sandwich bread. This will be my last time eating from here.

Sad to see what you have done with my favorite sandwich size.
You find it necessary to shrink your sandwich sizes down while raising your prices, it tells me what you think of me as a customer.
I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve seen how you have tried to make more money, save money which I see to be necessary, but you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel now.
My wife and I buy your sip club, fifty and hundred dollar gift cards on a regular basis. We always have a balance gift card in our account, but with you treating us like this I may just start looking for a new place for lunch and dinner.
I don’t like not being appreciated as a customer since I consider myself to be quite loyal to your restaurant.
This is the type of actions that cause your doors to close and lock because you get greedy for little things like this that make a big difference with your customers.
Here’s a picture of what your sandwich is used to look like and a picture of what you now serve.
I’m a customer that’s not happy.
