Thanks for making your menu more kid-friendly, Panera Bread!

Unfortunately, panera bread was one of my favorite spots to conduct
business or relax in a quiet calming atmosphere, until now. I went in
a few weeks ago and was mortified to see a yuppie family of 4 with the
SUV stroller, the high pitched squealing, them crawling all over and
the area looked like a war zone! I then saw two more yuppie families
just like them come in and knew my plans to have a relaxing lunch were
out the window so I got my lunch to go and ate it out on the sidewalk.
There are plenty of places for people with children to go, first it
was Starbucks, now it's Panera Bread, isn't anything sacred?

Ahh, finally a letter worth reading! It's always nice to see that a
company can make pro-active changes to better the service that they
offer to their customers. And it's also nice to see that a customer
can take the time to post a letter letting them know that their
changes are really working.

It's nice to see kind words. I love the Panera Bread restaurants in
our city. We have one that is actually part of my favorite public
library and just going inside makes me feel good. And everyone is so
nice there. Thanks for taking the time to be sweet and give credit
where credit is due.

Thanks for taking the time to write a compliment letter! I'm sure the
company will appreciate it!

Great letter! now this belongs on the top 20!

It's such a refreshing change to click on a letter and find one as
great as this. Excellent job.

Very nice and well written letter! We need more letters like this!

It sounds like the company is actually listening, as I remember other
letters requesting more kid-friendly items on the menu. I'm sure it
will make a lot of parents happy.

If Panera can get a picky eater to devour a sandwich, that's some
testimonial!

Excellent letter!

Thanks Deborah for writing such a nice letter to a company to let them
know their choices on their menu items actually help people make
better decisions, even "picky" eaters. Shows them that they are going
in the right direction and maybe challenges their competitors to
follow suit if MORE people wrote letters like this!

Very Well Done!!!

What a nice letter.

Saying your son is picky reminds me of my brother when he was a kid.
God forbid if two foods on his plate touched. And to put two different
foods in his mouth at the same time? Forget it. On top of that he was
picky about what he would eat.

Now you should see the variety he eats. Who knows, your son may
outgrow it, too.

That's great! I love to hear about kids eating more healthfully in
these days of fat- and sugar-laden snacks. I'll admit, I sometimes
miss good ol' white bread. GOod for Panera to responding to parents'
requests.

Great letter! We don't have one here but maybe if ever, we will try it
if it does open around here one day.

How wonderful!!

Great letter first thing.

Second thing..Good for Panera! Maybe they realized they were excluding
a very large chunk of customers by not catering more to kids.

Now...if only I could get my son to eat peanut butter! LOL! I swear,
anything a normal kid would eat..he wont.

Great letter!

I'd love to be a 'fly on the wall' at some of my local Paneras, once
it becomes known that they are becoming more 'kid' friendly. Some will
not take too kindly to it. Heh.
