r/Panera

I have been to all your stores in Florida and notice after 2pm there is no light roast coffee. We all don't like dark roast

I don't know who made the decision to change the lids for the large cups, but they derserve kudos!! Thank you!! The old lids sucked and would leak as soon as I tilted my cup for the first sip. I hope it is a permanent change. I would love for them to change those weak straws as well.

Ok this is getting ridiculous. Going on 3 weeks of no pomegranate hibiscus tea. And when I contact Panera they don't really seem to care! Anyone have any idea when they'll actually get it back in stock (at least in San Diego area)?

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask for some advice from people who’ve worked at Panera Bread before because I’m not really sure how to handle this. I’m a 16 year old junior in high school and I started working at Panera Bread around 3 months ago. At first it was fine and I liked having my own money, but lately my hours have been getting increased a lot and it’s starting to genuinely stress me out.

Recently I had a lot of AP exams, so I took a week off to study. Even during exam week, I was still going straight to work after finishing some of the tests. I come back from that one week off and suddenly I’m scheduled for 20+ hours, including back-to-back 8 hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, which basically wipes out my entire weekend.

The thing that’s really frustrating is that I feel like I’ve already told my managers I can’t work this much, but it doesn’t seem like they’re listening. I think because summer is coming up they expect me to start working more but honestly I want the opposite. I want time to take classes, do volunteering, maybe an internship, and actually enjoy my summer before senior year starts.

Another thing that annoys me is the scheduling changes. I’ll check the app and see a 5 hour shift, then check again the day before and suddenly it became 8 hours. It makes it really hard to plan anything.

I’m thinking about asking for fixed availability/set days and trying to limit myself to around 10 hours a week. Has anyone else dealt with this at Panera? Did your managers actually respect reduced availability, or did you end up having to quit/find another job? I don’t mind working, I just don’t want my entire life to become school + Panera.

I’m so fucking sick and tired of getting paid $11/hr and having to wake up at 4:40 in the morning to open this overpriced greedy corporate cafe bro
The only reason I’m staying is to get healthcare which takes out a massive chunk from my paycheck. I have to work 2 jobs and donate plasma to afford to live. I truly cannot believe they’re allowed to pay us $11/hour.
ALSO, I messed up on 2 drinks and my manager told me I needed to pay for the drink if I kept making mistakes…I looked it up and in my state, that’s illegal.
I’m so tired. How do y’all continue?

Went to get one today and was told “we’re not doing the PH tea right now”. I asked why and was told it’s being replaced with the caffeinated and sweeter Refreshers. To say I’m sad and disappointed is an understatement. This drink was a godsend to those of us that can’t have/don’t want sugar and caffeine. It was so delicious, refreshing and my go-to summer drink, not to mention the ONLY reason I have Sip Club. I’m really hoping someone at Panera sees this and reconsiders this decision….it’s a mistake.

I'm almost at my limit with my managers. Gosh where do I even start?

The GM can't even do her fucking job, the AGM and the TM are rude to customers, and to employees.

The GM admittedly pisses me off way more, but really the only decent manager at my cafe is the TL MIC (not me, I'm in training. The other one)

The GM can't order enough product or orders too much, does NOT respect personal space, takes over people's jobs all the time when they're in the middle of them, etc. and the other two are just immature.

I'm pretty seriously considering transferring to a different cafe to just get away from them

I am almost at my limit 🫩

Does anyone know of any sip club promo codes? I just cancelled my sip club membership earlier this week because the $5/mo deal ended for me.

I’ve never actually had the iced coffee here, but I’m wondering how much milk and simple sugar (or other ingredients?) you use to make it delicious? Tia!

New chicken bacon ranch, ass. The new bread sucks, and the sandwich is missing half the flavor it was

And the rewards, I used to get a free entree after 5 visits what the fuck is this $2 off a bagel or salad bullshit. Fuck you panera
