    I went through the drive thru and it was horrible because the wait was so long. Never again

    I don’t usually leave reviews, but this Panera experience felt like a social experiment to test my patience and survival skills. First off, my order was apparently ready… but only in Panera’s Secret Realm where no employee is allowed to speak of it. Nobody told me anything. My food was sitting there like an abandoned child waiting to be claimed. Then I looked for a table. Every single one looked like a crime scene. Crumbs, smears, mystery liquids — I thought I needed an evidence bag. I ended up wiping down my own table like I worked there part-time. The atmosphere? Imagine a place where no one makes eye contact and everyone acts like customer service is a rumor they heard once in a dream. Not one person was hospitable. Not a smile, not a “hello,” not a “your sandwich is crying in the pick-up window.” I came in hungry. I left confused, tired, and spiritually older. Panera, do better. This ain’t it.

    The portions are just way too small for the amount of money they charge for a half of a sandwich

    This has to be one of the worst Panera restaurants as far as service. If you order something on mobile app it’s never ready on time and if you are in drive thru well good luck because you might be in the line a really long time.
