Was Monroe Larkin at Panera Bread a mag?
Good food, as always! Even more expensive than I remember. Only real negatives were 1) that on the order kiosk, it said that the soda was sold out, and would not let you choose it, although the soda machine had only one of the flavors from the service. 2) the floor around the beverage area was really sticky, but looked dry, so it wasn't a last thing.

What Shaina Treutel dislikes about Panera Bread:
Management here seems to be extremely rude. I submitted a job application( a job posting was recently put out by them) but when I called to follow up with it, he seemed to be nice when initially answering the phone. Though once I told him I was following up with an application, his tone of voice became really rude and responded by saying We 're busy right now and then hung up in my face. After experiencing that, this... View all feedback.

My rating was earlier higher. because of their lack of sufficient labour force, it takes a lot of time to obtain food. I waited for 20 minutes in the drive through the line. that seems to wait more the normal time. it will be frustrating if they are somewhere else. the actors are in the kind.

The waiting time is annoying, I sat here and had to wait for a doorstep for 50 minutes, got a breach on the door bag of it. they called the load and the manager still said that they wouldn't do it for another 40 minutes. also terrible customer service. they stare at you instead of welcoming you in the invite and asking how they can help you.

Standard Panera fare. It is typically busier than the other Paneras are but that's likely due to being so close to Walmart. It is clean and is usually quick on service.

Had a breakfast sandwich and I've never had breakfast in Panera. It was made fresh and it was really delicious. I also had a blueberry muffin and that was also fresh and delicious. It was warm and so soft. My wife had a sandwich like mine, minus the sausage. She had a bagel instead of a muffin. All in all delicious food. Something had to wait, but it was fresh and well done.
