Honestly, 9/10 I've had a bad experience here. Not with the food, but always with the service! They have a bunch of workers running around like they don't know what they're doing. Service is just incredibly slow and inconsiderate. There are 4 registers in the front, and regardless if there's a long line or not, you only have one register opened. I usually place a food order through the phone every now and then. A few months ago, I walk in on a Saturday morning and the line is to the door. After waiting almost 25 minutes, I finally got the counter and told them I was here to pick up the order I made the day before. They checked the system, my name wasn't there. They checked the back and front-my order is nowhere to be found. The younger lady manager with the short hair comes up to me and says, "they couldn't find my order." I asked them what they can do and they told me nothing that I had to reorder and the order wouldn't be ready until the next day. 25 minutes of my time just standing in line and I was left empty handed. No apologies were given and no compensation for their mistake. Another bad experience I had happened a month ago. Again the line was to the door, after waiting 15 minutes in line, the lady cashier with short hair that was suppose to help me seemed like she was new and confused. I told her my name and order. She looked it up in the system and again my order wasn't in the system. I recognized my order laying in the back table and told her that was probably my order. Without even bothering to check, she said, "no, that's not it." She looked in the back where they store the orders and she told me that she couldn't find my order that it was never put in. I asked her again to check the order on the table and she still insisted it wasn't mine. She asked the manager for help, after they both checked on the register for my name again. They asked me for the time I called so I showed them my phone history of the time I called. Yet, they still couldn't find my name. Again, I told them I can see my order on the table. They finally checked, and there was my order sitting there the whole time. One more bad experience I wanted to mention recently happened this Sunday. I again ordered food through the phone the night before and I even repeated my order three times to the guy taking my order. When I picked up my food, it was already bagged and ready to go. By the time I got home, it was completely wrong. I didn't even bother calling to complain. But on Monday, a guy worker from Panera called my phone 3 times and left a voicemail asking me when I was going to pick up my food. I called back and told them that I already picked it up the day before and not only that they totally gave me the wrong food! They gave the phone to the manager and she just apologized. No compensation for their mistake-again. I had other bad experiences similar to this, but this review would be even longer than it already is. Only reason why I keep coming back is because this is the only Panera in Palmdale. But for now, I'm probably just going to end up taking a drive to other Panera bread locations and just hope for the best. read more
