    Negative 100 stars!!! I must say i was very disappointed with the horrible service at this location. I was putting in an order at the register with the manager who did. Not want to be there. I asked him if i had any discounts once i gave him my number and he said no. I later found out i had a coupon. When i received the food they threw everyone bag around and was mean as if we were in a prison mess hall. Bread could knock someone unconscious it was so hard. This the worst Panera. No thank you !
