    Literally in the line as I type this! I have literally been in line for almost 15 minutes, and I only got a bagel and some cream cheese, by the time I got to the window my bagel was cold! They made me late for school because I had enough time to stop and get breakfast, but because they took so freaking long I was late for class! This Panera has got to be the slowest, most Unorganized and lacking great customer service along with time management. When I got to the window, I told the lady my order which I had already placed online. She asked me several times for the name! There needs to be a staff meeting, or some type of training because people cannot read or listen to basic instructions!

    Was running very late last night and got there 10 minutes before closing. The excellent staff still made me my order and were very pleasant. As always, the brocoli cheddar soup, bread, and turkey sandwich were all delicious~

    Ordered $40 worth of food at the drive thru. My receipt with my name and order was on the bag which was signed as checked and taping the bag closed. I got home and had the wrong food. 2 cups of soup and a bagel and cookie. Not the 2 sandwiches, soup and mac and cheese I ordered for my family dinner. I called the store and was put on hold for 15 minutes, finally I hung up. Called back and talked to a manager. She said she apologized. She said "Next time you come back, tell them Ms Williams said they can give you a bowl of soup on me!" So I didn't have my dinner, im out $40, but i get the promise of a free bowl of soup?? I asked for a refund, to which she said, she could not. She claimed "panera system won't let me give you a refund." She kept telling me to come back to the store. So I didn't get my dinner, and in order to get a refund, I have to be inconvenienced again instead of feeding my family?? Rediculous. I'll be deleting the app and my account--- I'll go somewhere they don't knowingly rip me off and waste my time.
