I’ve been a regular for a little while now and Saniya is always smiling and giving warm greetings. Most times when I pull up she already know it’s me and tells me to pull around with order in hand. Customer service like Saniya’s is rare.

Your company is severely understaffed, and the employees at your Brentwood location were very rude. I waited 45 minutes just to get a coffee. The manager, James, was even worse. This was a very disappointing experience.

Let me start off by saying that I love Panera or St. Louis bread, Company or whatever you wanna call it and have been going to them since I was in college which was several decades ago. I travel around town for my job so I go to several Panera all across house, I was meeting a lady for a while to do some business meetings in university city and this was a nice meeting spot. However, every time I went there I got the worst customer service now being that I’ve only been there four times as it’s a new store I was giving them some grace. However, last week I went through the drive-through as I was getting a special surprise lunch for my child And ordered a kids meal and wanted to switch from American cheese to a white cheese. I’ve never had a problem making a custom order at a Panera in my life. In fact, it’s one of the things I love about them because they are able to work with you. My daughter does not like American cheese And I was trying to get her what she wanted for a special surprise they refused. I left. I will never go back to this location ever again. I was already put off by the other bad experiences I’ve had in previous visits on the inside, so I decided to drive through this time my previous visits on the inside included them, not having napkins, not able to get a water cup, and waiting for my food for over a half an hour when everybody else was getting served. I’m done with that location.!!!! Go to Creve Couer Panera instead.

I did not enjoy my experience at this location this evening. There was a young lady working up front around 7:20 ish at the old Olive location who had a terrible attitude and was extremely unprofessional. She rushed me through what I was ordering and also made rude and inappropriate remarks back to me. I told her I didn’t like her attitude. I’ve NEVER been to any bread co location where I was made to feel like helping me was a nuisance and a chore. I will never be going back to this location ever again. I deserve to spend my money in an establishment that respects the customer and displays professionalism. I left without my food and without my refund because I couldn’t stand there another moment with her speaking to me in that nasty tone. I hope she does better in the future for her own sake, career and future endeavors. But again, I will never spend any more money at this OLD OLIVE location.
