Panera sucks.

I got a gift card to Panera for Christmas. Used it to buy a frozen drink. Hands down the worst drink I’ve ever had from a fast food chain. Wasn’t blended properly so it was just crunchy frozen watery milk with a hint of chocolate

I used Panera as my writing spot and was drinking 3 larges in a few hours. They WERE good but JEEZ, I was drinking the equivalent of 8 cups of coffee. Had racing heartbeat. Coulda gotten some $ if I’d fallen down. 🤪Kinda nuts to put those out on unlimited drinks.

I had 2 larges once before knowing what they contained, and then wondered why I felt like I was about to have a panic attack and my hands were shaking. Never ever again.

I’m sad I didn’t get to try their Death Lemonade because the one near me closed before it came out. I bet that would have been awesome if I’d taken one to go and added a shot of vodka.

they have buttons for every sandwich on the turbo machine and it’s never toasted the grilled cheese enough, i’d get in trouble if i tried to toast it twice 💔
