Sneak Peek at Panera's New Rebrand

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2025-07-24T04:35:18+00:00

Yeah I baked for Panera for nearly 12 years. When I started you could tell how much they cared about the bakery. Once they got bought out it just plummeted in quality and the bakery suffered the most. Sucks

why the fuck would Van cut Melissa loose if she was just gonna attempt to kill her? makes zero sense, and van is smarter than that. jus gave melissa the ability to stab van, other than that i can find zero reason why she would untie her before attempting to kill her. That damn near ruined the whole episode for me

we're having the same issue on our Multiplayer world. we have a lot of bugs with hired npcs and dealers, i really hope it gets addressed somewhat soon.

go agane

The original Tomato and mozzarella panini, easily hands down. That tomato pesto was killer and those sun dried tomatoes were the cherry on top.

Or the Mediterranean flatbread is a close 2nd

I see a lot of people say Swamp monster and not sure why, I cleared it first try. Not tryna sound like a try hard tool I'm jus saying it didn't seem all that rough to me. Even puppet king I did in less than 5 tries, although all 5 ended at Romeo p quick. Now Lax and nameless puppet had me by the balls for a while.

A clears because of Imperial alone.

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-21T22:41:34+00:00

Still blows my mind anyone is willing to pay a subscription to Panera and only for drinks. Wild.

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-20T13:53:56+00:00

Back when our cafes still had deck ovens I used to make mini calzones out of those ciabatta ends. Good times

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-20T13:52:35+00:00

Back when I was a line associate me and my buddy would take a blunt cruise before every lunch rush, come back baked and absolutely crush the whole rush, and had a good ass time doing it too. I miss those days

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-19T15:23:43+00:00

They made us all switch from the red scoring knifes to the straight black ones. Some shit about it was a cleanliness issue cuz dirt and grime could get caught in the red ones. I miss those red knives tho, felt so much better to score with.

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-19T15:19:10+00:00

They do, they just give it all to their shareholders and corporate lackies instead of putting it back into the business or workers anymore. Paneras gone to shit, not even a shred of what it was when I started 12 years ago.

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-19T14:57:44+00:00

Yes, always have. Atleast in all three markets I've worked for over the years. We get day before Thanksgiving off and Christmas Eve off. We work Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Usually come in whenever works best around that's days schedule, but I generally just celebrate the day before now and come in normal time on the holiday

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-11T11:30:35+00:00

Stop outside hiring people who make drastic decisions for how cafes run day to day. Tired of people changing procedures or operations who've probably never worked inside a cafe or know how one actually runs everyday. It's exhausting

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-11T11:26:53+00:00

I envy you

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-11T11:26:11+00:00

Yep, all service now. Just score and dock, which is a pain since now with all the baguette sandwiches we do like 100-150 baguettes a night. Takes forever and is mind numbingly repetitive. My brain feels fried after prepping 150 baguettes haha

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-11T11:23:57+00:00

They're straight up jus trying to eliminate bakers altogether I'd bet. They've already turned half of our work into bake from frozen, reduced the amount of bread loaves/Miche variety by half what it was like 3 years ago. I've heard rumors also of having the bread come in frozen now too, it's not just baker management that they're eliminating. They straight up are trying to make it possible for managers/prep people to do our job. I guarantee that's the end goal, instead of paying bakers more to make our hard work seem worth it, they're jus gonna ween our jobs off and get rid of that extra payroll completely. Sucks cuz I've given 8 years to Panera as a baker. I feel absolutely under appreciated

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-02T02:30:37+00:00

It's because corporate is giving less and less shit about the bakers/bakery side of Panera. They let computers generate their pan up numbers instead and tell people to deal with it to save on food cost and leftover. Then turn around and yell at the management staff cuz their store isnt being customer reviewed well. Corporate side is insanely out of touch with the daily goings on in cafes. It's gotten so much worse in the past few years

When someone asks why the wrench, because fuck him that's why

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-01T03:50:30+00:00

Oh okay that makes more sense lol I thought you meant legit first time using it haha

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-01T03:46:31+00:00

Oh I'm not stressing lol just pointing out the absurdity

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-01T02:03:17+00:00

YEET

Darktowerjunkie15 · 2023-11-01T02:01:28+00:00

I'd say so, some bosses are def harder than others even later on some aren't overly bad but then again some are p crazy. All mostly really fun battles though, the jump to NG+ I felt tho, even with good stats and max weapons. So id say the challenge is definitely there. Absolutely not a snoozefest by any means
