Panera Bread is asking customers not to bring guns into its restaurants. The request places it on a growing list of companies asking guests to refrain from toting firearms into their locations amid an ongoing nationwide debate about gun policy.

MDA: A victory for gun sense.
Sooooo, MDA now calls guns sense flowing state/local laws which allow people to carry eeevil loaded firearms i public. Got it.
I think al of these restaurants that are going along with this, should put up signs. “This establishment is completely and totally a gun free store.”
My money is better spent elsewhere. FUPB!
Never thought their stuff was that good anyway....
Panera doesn’t have stores in areas where you would need a gun IMO, but it is still not a smart policy IMO.
Too bad, I used to enjoy going to Paneras on occasion. They are now on my ever growing list of places, not to patronize.
It appears what ever state/local laws permit is allowed. Just as it was before the new “policy.”
No problem, Panera.
There’s a Mission Burrito right next door.
Adios.
Do they think law abiding customers are going to have a shootout?
Do they think this will keep criminals from coming in with guns?
Do they think it’s better to wait for the police to show up in the case of a criminal using his gun?
Every time I go in to Panera, I think, ‘the customer service in here is just not smart. THey talk to each other while customers wait. Their food is inferior. IT takes a long time for service. It’s not especially clean. ‘
there’s just something slow about this place.
I guess I will just stay with my Whataburger and Bush’s Chicken.
They’re taking the gonad-free route on this one.
Either put up a sign barring gun owners...or shut-up.
A non-story story. Thanks!
Simple fix. Businesses that don’t like my gun don’t like my money either.
Recently, I noticed the quality of their cafe items going down hill. I used ot like their Chicken Cesar Salad, not worth it any more for a few pieces of chicken and some lettuce.
I voted No, doesn’t change my opinion. I went their once, to expensive for what I got, so I won’t be going back. Them allowing guns wouldn’t change that.
So there’s defined areas where one doesn’t need a gun?
Soon, I won't need to dine out ANYWHERE. :)
Well, honestly, not walking around with guns openly visible into a regular store should be someone’s common sense, not the words of a business exec. Sadly, there is less and less common sense in the world nowadays.
Sounds like what Chipotle did... politely asked that people not bring firearms into the stores. But deferred to local laws.
No longer giving my $ to Chipotle, Target or Panera.
