    This panera is a unique one in being that it is take out only. I was still able to use my rewards seamlessly and get out within a reasonable amount of time.

    I ordered my food with no chicken, still got chicken. This didn’t happen last time. But I spent $30 for 2 sandwiches plus delivery fees it’s frustrating. I then call, no answer. This wouldn’t be an issue but I can’t eat chicken. Start checking your order and use verbal confirmation.

    It’s 10am and they don’t have any soups available to order other than Mac n cheese. This is not the first time this has happened either but last time it was the afternoon. Corporate really needs to get involved here and improve their poor operations at this location.
