My daughter wanted Panera. OK, I don’t care. Sandwiches, soup or salad. Placed an order. Now waiting. A long time for soup.
Place is popular with the youngs. I guess they get used to slow service.

Ever been here?

Got one close by, never been.

We use to get it at work sometimes but most complained about portion size not enoigh for grown men so they stopped. I've never tried.

Women go there and eat tiny sandwiches and play with their iPhones.

The sandwich the daughter got was very large. I do see a lot of women in here.

Used to eat there pretty often, was always good and was always pretty fast.

Takes a lot of spit to make a bowl of soup they must have cotton mouth.

Jazzed up hospital food.

Lol, I wish hospital food was half as good.

I ate at the one in Watauga a couple of times. It was ok, but nothing I got worked up about.

used to be good but Covid killed them

I got a bread bowl there and it was 90% bread. It was good bread, but I expected the inside to contain something larger than a billiard ball.

I loathe fast food in my travels in the USA.

I'll make a run trough a grocery store if one is around for produce and sardines/tuna.

Or local ethnic foods.

Or some diner with work trucks around.

I have always called bish food.

When I used to go to training in Tampa Bay Florida, the company out there would always bring in their coffee and bagels.

Seemed ok, only time I have tried them.

I get their soup for family when they're sick.

So you have an opportunity to have lunch with your daughter and you would rather be on THF than conversing with her?

Panera is microwave food...gonna be a no from me.

Went once probably 16 years ago with an old girlfriend.
Same category as Starbucks, not for me.

Someone brought me a muffin or piece of cake or something. Though it was good but have never stopped at one.

Many years ago I tried it a couple of times and haven't returned. I don't recall that it was bad - just not good.
