    Whoever is in charge of ordering/ keeping track of how long the food has been out needs to be fired. They routinely are “out of bread” because they can’t sell it after a certain amount of hours. And I mean it’s been out for too long as early as 2 pm. It’s not that difficult to ensure the bread isn’t too old. Not to mention they often run out of most popular items but don’t let people know at all, so they either order at the kiosk just to never get what they paid for or wait in a long line just to finally get to the front and have nothing good left to pick from.

    I was getting ready for my flight at 5:35 when I came up to look at the menu around 12 mins before they open at 5 , I was looking to see pricing and what they had on the menu , the lights were off so I could tell they weren't open but the lady carrying the bread cacuasian was very rude , she was so rude I walked away because it was unnecessary to be that rude she stated that they werent open which I figured. I let her know that I know that I was just looking at the prices . She begin to have a very rude and nasty attitude me and kept repeating her self she said me being their would cause problems for other people cause they would think they were open by the way they open in 12 mins , another couple walked up and she was super rude to them as well to the point the husband had to tell her she didn't have to be that rude. For Charlotte to be this big of a place this service was unacceptable. If she is a manager she doesn't need to be one because she didn't have to be that loud and rude to people just looking at the menu. Definitely will be calling corporate when my flight lands

    Food is consistent with Panera brand. Service is consistently slow. I’ve been here when the manager gives away food to make up for the slow service. I’ve been here when there isn’t enough staff and I’ve watched shifts end and staff leave with a long line awaiting service In today’s order, I requested wild mushroom chicken soup. Once I got to my gate and opened the bag, I realized I received chicken noodle soup.

    Staff was rude. If I'm asking you a question, it's because I don't know and couldn't find the answer. I completely understand if you hate your job, but having worked in retail, and food service, and knowing the current economic climate, you should absolutely be grateful to have a job. And since you were restocking, you were on the clock. Customer service is essential.
