I know someone was looking for something at Panera that’s Gluten Free a while ago…

So I guess I’ll post this.

Earlier this week, and today, a lady came in and ordered a Mediterranean Egg White Breakfast Sandwich… with no bread. I looked at her a bit funny the first time, but she told me when she got to the counter that she’s gluten-free.

The sandwich, sans bread, is made up of an egg white, roasted tomatoes, spinach, Vermont white cheddar cheese, and basil pesto sauce. 

She phoned it in today (so I’m only assuming it’s her). And if I’m not mistaken, the stuff on Panera’s hidden menu might be gluten-free, too. Check it out. Look up Panera Bread on Facebook; the hidden menu is shown there.

someone please tell me what possessed me to go through the panera tag

PANERA QUESTION?!

So I’m going for the first time tonight, and I wanted to know: can you like, customize what you order or is it prepackaged? Like could I get a sandwich and ask for it without tomatoes or is it premade?

You can tell them what you want on it. I’m pretty sure they prepare everything to order, but i might be wrong. Either way if you want something without say tomatoes, they will gladly make it for you! Panera is awesome, enjoy!

For future reference, almost everything is made-to-order, at least at mine (MD). Some of the paninis are pre-made THAT DAY (probably somewhere between 8am-11am), but if you want it on different bread/no tomatos/etc, just let them know. IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY, TELL THEM THAT FIRST. Cause honestly, if all you want is no tomatos, we might just take the tomatos off one that’s already made. 

Fuck You Panera

Fuck you Panera, the black whole of strip malls across America. Fuck you for luring me in with advertisements of “healthy” salads and “fresh” sandwiches.

Fuck you for your dirty carpets and fuck you for not paying your workers enough so that they won’t leave the cleaning rag on the one available table.

But especially fuck you for charging me full price for half a salad because you don’t “do” just half salads—no, you require people to purchase half a sandwich or a cup of soup as well. Fuck you I don’t want half a sandwich or a cup of soup. Do you know how much food we waste in this country, Panera? And fuck you manager who insisted I could take half a sandwich or a cup of soup home for “later,” as if the only thing that could make my life more enjoyable is looking forward to a shitty half a sandwich or a shitty cup of soup from Panera for dinner.

Fuck you.

o.o Whoa. You just got stuck with a bad Panera. Not all Paneras are like this.

EDIT: Actually, let me help you out. I’m quite sure all Paneras are to follow the same rules and guidelines. I’m not sure why they insisted you pay for a full salad, but you can get WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT. Half a salad and no side? Sure. You want that bread with just a slice of ham? Um… sure. You want us to remake the salad because you wanted ranch and not ceasar on it and “Whoops! Forgot to tell the cashier”? Sure. We’ll talk about you a bit, but we will remake it.

There are prices for just half salads. If that manager or cashier doesn’t know how to do that, you need to inform corporate.
