  A Tip

  So I live 2 minutes aways from the federal way Parena bread, I drive to this panera bread (auburn) because the atmosphere and some employees at the other one are not friendly (one of the girls making food was literally talking about how her sister doesn't like white people) , and my order was constantly wrong, and I always tips to go, what a let down when you are on i-5 and your order you paid extra for is wrong again. Well I tried to like this auburn location, but the atmosphere here is worse, First almost no employees brings your orders out or calls them, even if they are just standing there at the take out counter, one time they brought out a huge order to a family, and called my name, but just stood there like usual doing nothing, unlike most other locations, where costumer services is priority. Here you will wait for someone to help you at the front counter most days. My order was wrong the other day, I told them and as I proceeded to show the ticket on the plate, she says "I can see it " with an attitude. Made the order wrong again, hmmm... you saw it twice still wrong, I said it's still wrong and just ate the food. also they will check your order as ready but it's not ready, so you are standing up there waiting, confused because the order has now disappeared off the reader board and your notification says ready but still not ready, I tip on all my orders even To go orders, not sure why at this point, but today, I went to the restroom for maybe 10 minutes they cleaned my table, which had my ear buds and binder on the small table, they took my plate and my bag of unopened chip, they stole my food I paid for, I just left and wrote this I'm done with this location. Best panera bread location I've been to is in Tukwila Washington morning shift, they are so friendly and great at their job, they actually seem to love what they do, i drive out of my way during work days just to go to that location, but on my off day I come here it's 15 minutes closer, not anymore, I'm just going to look for other places to eat, I come to panera bread about 250+ days a year and spend somewhere around $5k in that year, so I have a good understanding about certain locations. At least I will still have Tukwila. Photo shows my savings for the year $1400, I don't know exactly what that means, maybe I come here to much.

  The service was quick and nice. The food was ok when I ate it, but that same night I got sick with food poisoning. I suspect I got it from here, because I didn’t eat anything else after Panera, not even water. I got the Italian sandwich and a soda from their machines, not from a can. Do not recommend.

  Took them 16 mins to put one order of Mac and cheese in a bag and hand it to me in the drive thru. Ash, the person on drive thru, took several more orders while I was sitting there waiting, and blatantly ignoring me while I tried getting their attention.

  Hospital food is better. Panera just freezes and reheats everything. It's crap!
