    Honestly in shock on how awful the service was today for lunch. I submitted an online pick up order for about 30 minutes before the pick up. The order itself then was ready until 40 minutes after that at time. I can understand having a lunch rush, but when I call to get an update and get hung up on? Maybe a little more management needs to get involved, also would appreciate a refund after that mess.

    Panera has declined in every way. The service is practically non-existent. Now that they have kiosks to order food from, there wasn’t anyone behind the counter to assist with an order or ask questions of. There was one person actually preparing the food while five other employees stood around loudly laughing and talking but not helping in any way. The soup was lukewarm. The ledge of the half walls by the tables is very dusty. The counter by the drink area and the bathroom were dirty as well. On a positive note, the carpet looked new. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I use to love Panera. Sadly it is not the quality and cleanliness that it once was.

    Spent $33 on two meals for lunch. Have lunch how’s it going wherever you’re at? They wouldn’t let me change the bread for my elderly mom who can’t chew the hard bread. Then when her sandwich came out, you couldn’t even see it from all of the nasty lettuce. Completely out of tea. When I picked up my food, I told them thank you, and they all just looked at me.
