UPDATE: the female manager (Kim?) apologized to me when I went back to this location recently. I guess I have to respect the balls she has to apologize to me.
I go to Panera every morning to buy their iced tea and a muffin or bagel or sandwich. I sometimes go back for lunch. I generally don't go to this location.
I usually take a cup in with me (from the day before) and purchase a cup and (and muffin) then fill both cups and take my order to go. This morning, the female manager (Kim?) yelled at me and said I'm not allowed to take a refill with me. She said she knows who I am and has seen me do this before and she will not allow me to do it. She said that "they" knows about what I'm doing and has told her about me and that's why she is confronting me about this situation. I was so shocked. Literally speechless, I told her I've never had anyone say this to me and I go to Panera every day. Sometimes even twice a day. She told me I am not allowed to come back to this location anymore.
I guess I will just take my business elsewhere. Clearly this chick has some sort of power trip issues. And why does she care if I take my refill with me? I just paid $2.60 for a plastic cup. I think I'm entitled to take my refill with me.
I guess this psychotic manager thinks I'm stealing ice tea that probably costs about 12 cents. And they usually throw most of the ice tea away after two hours anyway.
This chick is so psycho. She doesn't own Panera. Why does she give a crap if I take a refill? It's just so bizarre.
I literally can't make this stuff up.... so weird.
Ps. This is a picture of how many cups
I have purchased and saved just this week!
