Had to go back in for something left off my to-go order, but in their defense it was Christmas time and they were apologetic, otherwise a good experience

It was average. Nothing special. My boyfriend’s grilled cheese was burnt on the cheese on the inside. He didnt eat it. And whatever spic e they put in the chilli instantly burned his stomach. He could not eat it. We waited at the window for about 10 minutes. But that’s fast food for ya. The girl working was very nice and apologetic about the wait. But yeah nothing special. We only went cause we had a gift card. I’d never been and I’ll never go back.

First of all, this is the type of people they have working at this Panera. Rude and inconsiderate told me she couldn’t scan my code on my app for 50% off my pastry. I go to Panera all the time for breakfast lunch and coffee I’ve never had this experience very disappointed. Usually, all of the Panera workers are extremely considerate and kind.
