    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.

    The coffee is great but for the second time in two weeks the toilets are nasty.

    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.
