Reviews for Panera Bread

Panera is NOT CLEAN.

They make the sandwiches by grabbing handfuls of meat and pressing it on the bread then grabbing the veggies with the same meaty hand. I watched them from the drive through when they screwed up my order. Then they move on to the next order without changing gloves. They continue on and on. You never know what meat juice and bacteria will end up on your sandwich. This is disgusting!!! If you have an allergy to ham, well you will have it on your bread from the disgustingly gross gloves that the employee used from a previous order. Or if you are a vegan or vegetarian your sandwich or salad is loaded with meat bacteria. Cross contamination!!! I'm surprised there have not been any food poisoning cases!!!

I called the manager after I got home and they screwed up my order AGAIN. I asked him if that was standard procedure and he said yes. If you want it another way, you have to request it. I asked if they used utensils and he said no, they use gloved hands that they don't change. How crappy is that of Panera????? Meat hands should not be going in with the vegetables!!!

I think everyone needs to know how unsanitary their kitchen really is. I am contacting corporate to see if this is actually how.

I'm thinking it's just poor management because this store is always a mess inside. Every time we try to eat inside there is not one clean table.

I'm hoping it's not corporate wide policy. If so, Panera will be losing business once word gets out and people are aware that they are not clean.
