Panera Bread - terrible experience
A couple of month's ago my teen-age son was hired by Panera Bread. He was very excited and told me often how much he enjoyed the job. I read their handbook and they claimed they were a good place to work because of the respect they showed for their employees. Soon enough we found out that they have no respect for their employees.
Female employees were referred to as 'the ###' by one of the managers. Then, things got worse. My son was working in the sandwich line in front of customers. It was a hot day, and he asked the female worker next to him what was wrong with the manager. She told him (my son) that she didn't know what was wrong with him(the manager). She then told my son that the manager was probably upset because she had told the manager that he should suck my son's dick! This female employee thought that making that statement to the manager was funny. My son left the store stunned and later called one of the other managers to explain why he had left work.
Now, logically, you would think that the female employee would get in trouble for making such a remark at work and that the manager she said it to would have done something about the trash mouth female employee. No way! This same manager was the one that referred to the female employees as '###' and he did nothing about it. My son registered a complaint with management and Panera started their 'trash the victim' nonsense.
My son was immediately suspended from work (that's what happens when you file a complaint at Panera's) and he was told there would be an investigation. The manager who was supposed to run the investigation then took three sick days off. To make a long sickening, story short they ended up firing my son after a week and a half of asking for written and signed reports from him.
Instead of cleaning up their house, they decided to pick on a teen-age boy. Wow! I think they deserve a place in the corporate Hall of Shame. I have told all of my friends, relatives and acquaintances the story (there are many) and I personally will trash them every chance I get.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I went to a local Panera bread location and got just a bowl of soup. For 8 dollars you’d think they could do better. The bowl was so small it was unbelievable. The broccoli cheddar was like water I could have drank it with a straw and it tasted funky. Not sure if they changed the recipe but it sucked!
All of the above, and place was kind of run down.
Soup cold
Coffee weak and cold
No desserts to choose from
Very disappointed
Attached boycott document is from Gina Bryant. Panera is so their own employee calls for a boycott!

Points East in Mentor.
Horrible customer service at the takeout/drive-thru
The soup was watery and cold, and the baguette was literally a one-inch section of the loaf.
They also dropped the pastry order in the bag, un-separated from the other items in the bag.
My name is Taina Ramirez. My phone number is [protected] and my email address is taina100280@yahoo.com. I went to this location and ordered an iced chocolate Latte on 9/29/2023 at approximately 8:10 a.m. After almost finishing this drink, I found a bunch of labels in the bottom of the container.
4 Oct, 2023 , 3AM I bought two packaged Panera Bread Soups from a store called CircleK in Stow, Ohio. after I finished almost half of the soup, I found something little stiff in my mouth and it was a bug, a big black bug thats shiny on top. I feel like throwing up and I already start feeling so sick.
