Everyone kinda ignores you, cashier wasn’t really attentive. Got my name wrong even though i spelt it out to them, didn’t called my order when its ready and just left it at the counter. Got my soup order wrong, didn’t give me the sandwich I paid for. Called the store and the manager said I should get a refund in about three days. It’s been more than a week and still nothing.

Food is just okay at best at Panera. Nothing really exciting, but consistently okay. Service usually pretty good. Sometimes out of drinks at the drink station.
