| - I like Panera Bread, and when I found myself at Homestead with less than an hour to get linner (cross between lunch and dinner) and saw Panera. Problem solved. Great!
Since it was about 3:30 on a Friday, the place was fairly empty. The girl at the counter can only be described as surly. From the snappish "Here or to go? Is that for here or to go?" (apparently I didn't answer quickly enough for her), to her giving me a child's cup (I later learned it was the size they give when you want a water--I suspect she wanted a drink and used the cup I paid for to use it when she was on break) when I deigned to ask her about getting a cup, it was a miserable experience.
There was a girl halfheartedly putting around a broom/silent butler and wiping off tabletops. The table I went to was not only dirty but really sticky, like someone dumped a coke on the top of it. I asked her if she could wipe it off for me. What I got was an eye roll and a heavy sigh. I told her "never mind", went to the bathroom, wet a couple of Kleenex and did it myself.
By that time my food was up. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich. It was good, the bread was fresh, a generous portion of tuna.
The food I would give a 4, the cleanliness/attentiveness to cleanliness a 2-3, and the service a zero.
