    I only gave a 3 star for service because my order was pre-order online to be picked up at 5:15pm today threw the drive thru. The worker told me they did have my order but to drive up to the window. When I got to the window the worker said they made the order at 1 pm. because that is what the ticket said, but not to worry they were remaking my order. I showed him my receipt and the notification that said your your order will be ready at 5:15 p.m. on 10/8/25. The worker said it was probably a computer glitch as to why they fixed the order so early. The worker was very polite and told me to give them a few minutes and my order will be up.

    I had a surprisingly pleasant visit to Panera. I don't go often because I don't desire it as much, but this visit proved otherwise. I had the pleasure of being helped by Victoria. She is congenial and made me feel special. It's the little things that sometimes go unnoticed, but she deserves a shout-out for her helpfulness with my questions and recommendations. I appreciate her, and I hope Panera recognizes the value she brings to customers like me.
