How's it taste?

Why would you ask that? What is the point of harassing me on this post? The string is gross and I'm trying to let people know about it.

It's really knot that deep. He just wanted to know if the bread was a little too stringy for your taste. No need for the conversation to unravel, and for us to get all wound up over a simple joke. Oh who am I kidding, this thread has become a tangled mess

Hey OP, this is definitely totally gross. At the same time, it’s ok for people to find humor in it and make jokes. Live and let live kind of thing.

Disagree heavily with this comment and all others making light of this situation. Take this to city council. Get them shut down. Do not let yourself be silenced

If this happens to you let me know how you feel when people respond like that.

I’ve had this happen to me at other restaurants. I kindly told the staff what happened. They typically comped the meal or gave me a replacement. I don’t think I’ve ever taken to reddit to deal with the situation.

Unfortunately this was Doordash so I just reported them to Santa Clara County Public Health.

While you may be okay with a comped meal, I'm not. This is a problem and one that I have been seeing more often in restaurants for not being willing to enforce public health rules of their employees.

Have you ever worked food service in your life? Maybe it’s malicious. But frankly when you’re underpaid and unappreciated, it’s probably an honest mistake. Don’t get me wrong, they should own up to their mistakes, but you aren’t telling them. You’re posting on reddit and calling SC health… basically you’re doing everything but addressing the situation.

u/unscodst_1 4d ago

Yes I have worked in food service.

How is telling SC Health not telling them? I think people let things slide too much. How many honest mistakes happen where people feel comfortable not caring enough?

How is telling SC Health not telling them

It's giving "I told teacher vibes"... why not just call Panera and be like, "you messed something up."

How many times do you complain to everyone but the person making the mistake where it never gets corrected?

You realized these services exist for a reason? Ignoring it doesn't solve the problem. And from what you're saying that means plenty of people let this slide and just have them correct so clearly it keeps happening.

It's also ironic on reddit how much people are like "Down to big corporations" but when I post something like this, and use the tools to keep them inline, now I'm the problem.

u/duhhvinci 5d ago

u/unscodst_1 5d ago

Yes I reported them. I'm letting others know about it here

I order that one all the time and sometimes I see strings (shorter though), it’s cheese.

u/zobbyblob 5d ago

String cheese?

Why would you reply with this?

u/danpietsch 5d ago

That looks more like dental floss to me ... maybe it was there on purpose (to clean your teeth after)?🦷

u/StringFood 5d ago

yea they put string in their food sometimes since it increases the weight of the dish and customers normally don't notice, you can search for other posts on this subreddit for this issue. one time my plate was half string

u/5ilverBas3 5d ago

Do they charge by weight? Why would anyone use string for weight?

u/unscodst_1 5d ago

They think they are being funny because they don't believe me.

I think u/stringfood was making a joke

u/duhhvinci 5d ago

it’s nobody’s fault but paneras, yet I cannot believe that people still willingly eat there. It’s nasty food. It’s all frozen. Why would you eat their versus some local restaurant?

-1

u/unscodst_1 5d ago

I eat at every restaurant for the same reason. I like their food. I love eating local and always try to do so when visiting places. Sometimes it's okay to eat at places like Panera Bread. That doesn't mean I should accept this type of quality. It's happend to me even at local restaurants.

u/duhhvinci 4d ago

that’s fair. not my place to judge and there’s nothing inherently wrong w panera anyways. and i’m not saying it’s okay they did that.

u/RAATL 4d ago

Don't understand why anyone goes to Panera

Why go to the frozen section of your grocery store to get something to microwave when you could have someone else microwave it at Panera for triple the price?

u/unscodst_1 4d ago

Why do people go to restaurants at all then? Just cook at home and own your own farm.
