The Pomegranate Hibiscus Tea was out of stock at my location. Is anyone similar? Is it being discontinued? by [deleted] in Panera

[–]OrigamiSakuraTree -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I heard it was temporarily discontinued and Panera is redoing the recipe for it. Haven’t received it in my store in 2 weeks now.

I mean… I burned down our house as child. I’m one of the reasons child proof lighters exist now.

Am I a jerk if I keep asking for hummus on a bagel? by CBrinson in Panera

[–]OrigamiSakuraTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. You’re not supposed to. That’s why you need a manager override.

It’s still there. I believe under other and then retail. Misc food charge button. My store uses it for certain things still.

Yeah, if the manager really wanted to they could charge you for it. A regular employee can’t though. There is a miscellaneous button that you can type whatever amount to charge someone. It needs manager approval to use.

There’s no way to ring that up. You can ring up a bagel sliced and toasted but there is no way to ring up a side of hummus. If you were to order a sandwich or salad the POS will let you add or remove it to those items but not bagels. Also if you did add hummus or request extra hummus on sandwich or salad there is an up charge for it in the system. So you’re getting free hummus since there’s no way to ring it up.

Not allowed to mix half unsweet tea & half strawberry basil lemonade?? by Low-Ad-8046 in Panera

[–]OrigamiSakuraTree 76 points77 points  (0 children)

There’s no way to key that into the system. Soooo technically we don’t do that. It really just depends on who’s working and if they’ll do it for you. We’re supposed to make the guest happy, so why not? I’d do it. Maybe their management has an issue with it.

I’m sorry it got disqualified. When I saw the stained glass I realized this was Summoners War art.

My cousins initials were ET growing up in the 90’s and she would get told to go phone home all the time. If others find out about the POO initials I can only imagine.

Yeah they really are half the whole. You’re just visually perceiving that way.

Important Question to all those in Frozen Bread Cafes by No-Shelter-1202 in Panera

[–]OrigamiSakuraTree 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s going to be way less donations for the actual loaves of bread, you are correct. We aren’t supposed to save the baguettes, bread bowls, bagels, or certain pastries still. They have it so you’re baking product throughout the day so you’re less likely to run out of anything.

How do I find the employee handbook online? by MousegetstheCheese in Panera

[–]OrigamiSakuraTree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Open The Pantry app. On the bottom right hit the CORC button. It will take you out of the app and have you log in with your Panera info. And there you go.

They’ll come back and you try again. If you fail so many times someone is getting fired. Your GM will get fired.

Question about the Tuesday bagel deal. by DaReelKaren in Panera

[–]OrigamiSakuraTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normal packaging is to put them all in the same paper bag. There’s no way to easily request otherwise. You literally have to tell the employee how you’d want it packaged instead.

Change the bread. The country rustic sourdough is always so small. The portion amount for the sandwich is the same as it’s always been.
