Well I've always liked going to Panera until lately. When I go out I need access to the Internet and Panera used to oblige that need with their free wifi connection. However, lately they have been implementing changes that have been keeping me away.
I work from home or anywhere I can get an Internet connection. I used to eat @ Paneras at least once or twice a week usually getting a breakfast item and then if it wasn't too crowded I would eat lunch there. However some weeks a go they changed InterNet providers and they stopped allowing connections to certain sites. While I had a way around their firewall, it was dang inconvenient. So I started limiting my trips to Paneras. Last week I decided I would head back and get lunch there. I should have known something was up when I walked in and the place was dead, but I went ahead and got a drink/bagle, setup my computer and saw that the Internet was down. A trip up to the counter and I found out that they had been without wifi for almost a week. Well I finished my bagel, informed the girl who just sat down next to me with her laptop and we both left. No lunch. Today I decided to try again, this time the wifi was up and working. Just as I was going up to order my Lunch I got a message about my connection going down cause I had already used my 30 min(There were still plenty of seats). Well I packed my bags and left. No lunch again. Guess they don't want my business anymore.
