Went through the drive thru. No one was behind me at the time, nor in front of me. Ordered my French Dip meal. Even though it wasn’t busy, once others pulled up after me, I was left in parking spot 1 for 15-20 minutes due to them WAITING for the last order so they can bring it out all at once. This is unacceptable! My food was cold by the time they brought it to me. $16 for a sandwhich with BARELY any meat on it, and a half filled French onion soup. Like not even a 1/2 cup of soup. $16???????? Yall have lost yalls minds with this crap! I’ll never be back. I can get free rolls and a nice dinner for that much at Texas Roadhouse. This is getting absurd. Change your prices or give us enough food for that kind of money!!!!!

Normally I like Panera and like the pickup option for me on my busy lunch schedule. However today with a terrible experience because I get a message saying my order is ready for pickup. When I pull up to the window I am told it is not ready. When I asked approximately how long is going to be for the wait because I have to get back to work for lunch, I'm told they have no idea that there are multiple orders in front of mine. Why did I get a message saying it's ready when clearly was not? So I tell them I need to cancel the order then. I am told I had to do it in the app as they could not cancel an order in the store. However when I called customer support to try to cancel the order, they tell me could have done it in the store. Now I feel like I was lied to at the store.
On another side note, customer support is not able to cancel orders past their pickup time.

I went to Panera and I got a sandwich. When I picked up my sandwich the greens on it were touching the counter on both sides of my sandwich. I had to pick it off my sandwich. I ended up taking the sandwich back. It was poorly made and you couldn't even see the red onion or pepperocini it has on it. The manager was pleasant but she did have a little attitude. I told her she lost my business. I have too many health issues to have employees endangering my health being careless.
