Very disappointed in staff I asked them not to put all chicken in my chicken noodle soup and next thing you know I hear jokes from the workers talking about how I wanted my order very unprofessional and I actually liked this restaurant at first

I ordered 1 coffee, 1 chocolate chip cookie and 1 raisin (it was hard by the way). Instead of telling me they didn't have chocolate chip cookies available they gave me two raisin cookies. When I asked about the chocolate chip they told me they couldn't be served yet. He asked for the cookie back and then I had to wait for them to bring me the one cookie. The problem I have is they made a decision for me without asking if I was okay with it and then took food back when they had already gave it to me. The problem is they made a decision for me without my knowledge or considering the consumers needs. I really hope they did not resell the cookie I had already grabbed and placed back in the bag. After 15 minutes I was brought the cookie.

I have an egg allergy. Since Panera has an allergen menu, I'm usually confident in looking up what to order and have never had problems in the past. They also allow you to add your allergen to your order, which helps add a bit of confidence that the kitchen staff will be mindful of what you order and avoid possible cross contamination...
Today I ordered the Chicken Pesto Dipper, which does not list egg as an ingredient online. When I got my order home and bit into the sandwich, I realized my sandwich was made with a jalapeño spread, not pesto. Online it says the jalapeño spread contains mayo which is an egg based ingredient. Not only was my order wrong, it was very wrong considering egg allergy was even noted on the receipt as having been double checked. I won't return to this location because I would not trust them with my allergen concern.

I had a very disappointing experience at this location. I waited in the drive-thru for over 20 minutes for a single bowl of soup, including about 10 minutes at the pickup window. During that time, I could see multiple staff members standing around, talking, and not taking orders seriously. When I expressed my concern about the wait, the response from the staff was dismissive. It was clear they did not care. I’ve always enjoyed Panera, but the customer service I received this time was unacceptable
