NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Panera Bread dropped Thursday after the restaurant and bakery chain's outlook for the year disappointed investors.

The company said business investments, higher medical costs and increased minimum wages will squeeze its profit margins and that earnings per share could decline in 2015.

I used to eat there. Then they banned guns. F em.

Hope they go belly up. Never will spend another thin dime there.

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot why I quit going there. My wife and I used to stop there, especially on long trips. No more.

Dumb question...
When they did this, did they post armed security at the doors to enforce this ban? Or just put up a stupid decal on the door?

Never have ate there.. Food looks good.

I’ll stick to Wendy’s and chili.

” Shares of Panera Bread dropped...”

So what’s the per-slice cost now?

I like their food.

Didn't know they banned guns. I've never seen a sign.

They caved to Moms Demand Action, one of the worst groups out there.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Their broccoli and cheddar soup is da bomb

[colorado tanker]

I’ll probably still go there. Never felt the need to be armed in there.

“I never seen a sign.”

Me neither (in NC).

The Panera near me is headquarters for Sarah Palin fans in Iowa.

Never felt the need to be armed in there.

Uh, one never does until it is too late.....that is the point.

[Dr. Sivana]

Very good iced tea, good coffee, expensive but good blueberry muffins. Entrees kind of pricey and not much in the way of hot food. I stopped going there as well.

[CrappieLuck]

Didn’t some of them start letting people pay whatever they wanted for their product?

How is that working out?

[trisham]

Their sandwiches are very good. Friends of ours served them for lunch once. Other than that, I’ve never had anything from their menu, as they’re a bit out of the way for us.

[Red in Blue PA]

LOL! I forgot about that.

[NormsRevenge]

I go by one all the time.. It used to be a Blockbuster video.

Maybe one day.. No drive thru tho. ;-)

Aren’t these the morons who piloted the “pay on the honor system what it’s worth to you”?

[Red in Blue PA]

Actually they are the ones who piloted the “pay on the honor system what it’s worth to you during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression”
