Frequent this Panera for tasty food and atmosphere, but my order is usually missing some thing or other.

While I love Panera’s Mac and Cheese I simply cannot justify the fact that I just spent $15 almost $16 on a large mac and cheese and a regular size soda. I haven’t visited Panera in years for this reason because it’s just too much money, but I am severely disappointed and shocked when I left the drive thru that - that is how much I spent. Literally 2 things!! I won’t be visiting again, not worth the price.

The lady taking payment at the drive thru window at 6p on new years eve forgot to give spoons with our two bowls of soup .... Inconvenient, and irritating because that's after spending $20 on two bowls of soup (welcome to 2025, or 2026 in a few hours).
Side note, the receipt said cashiers name was Kevin but not sure if the receipt was referring to drive thru or cashier indoors.

The drive thru is unusable here. Multiple times I’ve been caught in the line for well over 30 min. This location is an embarrassment to the company
