I had to wake up early so I could have an early drive to an early doctor appointment that was early.
Color me shocked, there was no traffic down the usually-heinous-especially-on-a-Friday 405 East of Seattle. I anticipated a 40-45 minute commute. I did it in 18 minutes. Which means I was nearly an hour early for my appointment. I was a bit hungry (and finally feeling like eating again), so I decided to grab breakfast. Much to my delight, a Panera was 8 minutes away. Perfect.
Boo! BOOOOO!!!
Boo, Panera Bread!
Instead of the gooey, delicious, egg over-medium that you used to get, they’ve switched to that same gross, spongy, slimy "egg" that McDonalds has! DAY. RUINED. I was all "Guess I’ll just sit here in the parking lot of the eye clinic and cry." AND COULD YOU BLAME ME? LOOK AT THIS! JUST LOOK AT THIS!!!
Argh. And the shit was really expensive too.
Boy oh boy did I used to love being in a city that had a Panera in it.
But back to the traffic (or lack thereof)... what is going on? Roads in Bellevue were practically empty. In Bellevue! Didn’t even have to use express lanes to drive 65 the entire way to the city... ON THE 405, FOR GOD’S SAKE. Did The Rapture happen three days early? Are we in a National Day of Mourning because somebody famous died?!? Please tell me it’s not Skylar Astin! I need more So Help Me Todd!
But anyway... mission accomplished.
More or less.

Yeah, we are so done with Panera. Too expensive and quality is shit these days. We used to go regularly. It’s basically once or twice a year now.
I should have expected my breakfast sandwich would suck, because the last time I had my beloved Mediterranean Sandwich, it didn’t have the amount of toppings it used to have… nor were the ingredients quality. The lettuce in particular just wasn’t fresh. And it’s like… so the prices are through the roof and you’re not getting the same quality you did when they were cheaper? Then what are they even doing?!? It’s almost as if they want their business to fail.
There is a Panera less than 10 mins from where I currently live here in Riverton UT (a city about 25 mins from downtown SLC on a light traffic day). i’ve only had one breakfast sandwich there the asiago bagel. It was good, if I recall right. But they are pricey. I have been doing the Sip Club since last year. The first 3 months were free, one month was full price ($13 a month) and the last 4 months have been $3.60 each month. I will cancel it here before it goes up to $16 a month. But then often send me $2 off coupons for food, which helps lower the cost.
