r/Panera

Isn't the point of PE buyouts to acquire a fundamentally sound company, cost cut, and then sell it off to make a huge gain, but... this is all supposed to happen in a rapid timeframe though to maximize value.

I feel like with Panera, it got bought out ages ago, cost cut excessively to the point of death for more than a decade, and now the value of the brand has just nosedived hard to where who is going to buy this dumpster fire?

Why can’t I just get my soda at the drive thru? Why do I have to order something along with it? Am I doing something wrong in the app? Or is it only allowed at certain drive thru?

My first question is how easy is it to get hired? And then my second question is how long does it take for people to get a response on your application? From what I can find online, it said one to three weeks, sometimes four, but I'm just wondering.

I saw someone put up a post showing a mountain of dishes, and my mom wanted to continuously argue with me that they probably put them in a dishwasher and don't do them by hand. But then I saw people talking about washing them and having a sink full of water with those things in there. So just so there's enough people that can confirm whether most places wash by hand, put them into a dishwasher, or whatnot.

My location is so short staffed and mismanaged and no one seems to care at all. I mean there is never cashier on duty either unless you specifically go ask for one.

So yeah, I am still getting free sip multiple times a day benefits.
