Lake Sumter Landing Panera
I drove over to Lake Sumter Landing Panera this morning for a couple of pastries.
At about 8:30, the store was pretty well filled and there was a sizable line of customers waiting their turns for the several cashiers. The cashiers (order takers) are all young people and are paid minimum wage (I guess). They were smiling at all their customers and greeted everyone with a "Good Morning". Orders were taken promptly and served up with a smile. No real point to this post except to say it is a good feeling to see employees that are smiling and cheerful. That is the kind of service that keeps customers coming back - and Panera is usually filled with returning customers. Oh yes, the pastries were delicious, too. |

Good to see a positive post. Giving good customer service is a plus for any business and those providing it do deserve credit.
Always very pleased with the friendly staff at Jersey Mike's as well as Oakwood. |

Panera Comment
I agree with the writer of the thread.... good service and friendly...
Now if we can get the community to take care of the tables and not sit on them causing the table to match each other and be level... also please seniors do not re-arrange the chairs and tables... as most of you do not return them to where you found them... I have watched this happen all day long... Panera please repair some of your tables... Villagers please take care of places like this for enjoyment of years to come... |

When we were house-hunting in 2012, Panera was our first stop in the morning. Would sit and look at newspaper for open houses.
And that's where we found our first forever home.....you know we all move three times here This place holds a special place in our hearts....love the oatmeal quinoa breakfast! |

What a nice refreshing Thread and post! so far anyway,
My mantra is always give credit where credit is due, and if appropriate mention a lacking to the right party (constructive criticism) as well. Businesses/vendors hear a lot of the latter but little of the former. A pat on the back -if warranted- may go a long way to reward good management/service. Of course repeat business and word of mouth is the key. On another topic, personally I find it irritating when Posters make a statement like "Everyone feels this way" or "We all should...". Just sayin'. Also seeing more personal slams on some postings. This type of behavior can limit some interest and taking part in posting.

We are big fans of Panera Bread and hope one comes to Brownwood.

Speaking of Panera, Do they have a coffee line or do you have to wait with the folks ordering food just to get a cup of coffee. Last time in I did not look to see. The line was too long to just get a coffee so I left and went to Subway for a cup.

Remember the "restaurant" that was there prior to PB??
If that was the first place you ate during a Lifestyle Visit, you would have gotten on the bus and never returned. Just an example of getting rid of the old and bringing in new. |
