| - I thought I knew what to expect when walking into this Fairlawn Panera. moderately priced cafe food and espresso drinks, along with a panel of yummy looking pastries I can't eat. I never expected to have my computer stolen and a hot dad named Scott to come to my rescue.
I did what I always do when I walk into a Panera; I scope out the lamps. I've found that the only outlets in Panera are usually located near a floor lamp. I found one near a corner and planted myself for some internet surfing and yelp browsing. After getting to the bottom of my Dr. Pepper, I needed to use the restroom. Normally, I pack up my belongings and bring them in with me. But, today I'd been particularly friendly with the table of churchgoing ladies next to me. I decided to leave my computer and just make a run to the restroom. When I came out, I saw the group of women clustered around the windows, all busy talking. Next thing I know, this tall, athletically built 40ish looking guy in a blue polo and khaki shorts comes rushing into the dining area. He heads towards us and hands me my computer! Apparently, a hoodlum lifted my Toshiba laptop and took a run for it. The ladies at the adjacent table made a fuss and this guy, waiting in line for an iced cappuccino went off after him. He said all he had to do is grab him by his shirt and pull it from his hands! I offered to buy him his coffee. I used my Panera card to get the points for the purchase, of course. Too bad Scott was married. I made sure to check his ring finger.
The fun parts of this review may or may not be a figment of my imagination as I type this in Panera.
