    I’ve gone to this Panera a few times and it’s been fine but today, I came in early and bought food here, employees saw me order and pick up my food to eat inside. They decided to have an officer come up to me and say “the staff noticed that you’ve been here a while and haven’t ordered anything” I said I ordered food and ate it already. The officer proceeded to racially profile me because I am Hispanic and he then said that they were looking for people who fled a traffic stop and was suspected I was one of them but apparently after viewing footage again, it was not me. I am sick to my stomach knowing that this is what they decided to do

    Strongly urge Arbortorum location Panera is the most disgusting location. The lady manager DAVIN is the rudest unprofessional and pathetic person ever we came across. Not fit to be part of hospitality industry. Dirty tables. Manager busy with gossip with other employee. Cares a damn about etiquettes or has any service ethics. This establishment urgently requires a management change, emphasis on food quality.
