I usually order through the app and do a rapid pick-up, but today the app wasn’t responding to the $1 cup of soup offer that comes with the purchase of a full entrée. So, I walked in to place my order at the counter, hoping to redeem the offer in person.
I showed my online order to Juanita at the counter and explained the situation. She saw the error message but told me she couldn’t help, saying that the offer was only available through the app. I accepted this and provided my order. When she asked for my customer number, she entered it and saw all my redemptions. She asked me which one I wanted to redeem, and I said the soup, but she said no.
I asked to speak to the manager, thinking they might be able to help, but she told me there was no manager on duty. I found her attitude to be rude, short, and unhelpful. It was clear to me that there was someone in charge—it was her. I confirmed that when I asked another employee who gave me my order and her name as well.
I am very disappointed with the customer service at this store, especially with Juanita's unwillingness to assist me when it was evident that the Panera app was not functioning properly.
To top it off, once I got to the car with my order, I noticed that I had bread instead of chips, after Juanita specifically asked me, and I said chips.
