    I ordered a salad from the app and got all of the toppings but not a sprig of lettuce. I called them and tried to let them make it right and they never answered and eventually hung up on my call.

    The person taking order asked 4 times to repeat my order. When it arrived, the order was completely wrong.

    Without fail, the Independence, Mo Panera off of 40 hwy always forgets to give you utensils. Since they seal the bag, you don't know until you get home.

    Being from England Panera was a new experience but I'd describe it as a subway but a little posher. Definitely a favorite with the retired based on the clientele. Good value, especially the soup and sandwich options. Recommend the bbq chicken toastie/sandwich. And go medium on your drink as its free refills!

    This place has gone downhill. Kendra, the shift manager is awful. She has no customer service skills, and "Rude" is her go to skill. Over the last month, they have messed up our order in one way or another. Walking into the store, nobody even acknowledges your presence. They don't like anyone who wants to order in person instead of the kiosks. When they do mess up your order, there is no "Oh I am sorry, let me make that right for you!" the begrudgingly snap the bag out of your hand and remake it. They claim to be short staffed, but there are plenty of employees there standing around on their phones. When you DO get what you ordered, it's not half bad, but like everywhere else, prices are up and portions down. This may not be the best job in the world, but it's your JOB now and this place desperately needs a remedial on customer service
