I usually like Panera Bread. Perhaps I still do...somewhat. However, I don't like the experience that I recently had. I visited there a few days ago and placed my order which consisted of a bowl of turkey chili and half of a chicken walnut sandwich. Once I received my order I asked the person who accepted my payment at the drive-thru window if they had pickle spears. She consulted with someone else and acknowledged that they do have them. She then politely asked me how many I would like. I stated that I would like two of them. She searched for a container to put them in. She had a hard time getting the pickles to remain in the container that she selected. I saw her use her bare hands to push the pickles down into the container. Then she handed the container to me. I was appalled, yet I didn't make a scene and I took the container and drove off. I could tell that she was new and perhaps unversed on proper etiquette. I am considering calling the store to report the incident.
