Panera is so exploitative

I worked there years ago and it started at $7.25/hr. An older man that had been there for 10 years was making $8.00/hr and he was so proud of it.. mind you this was 13 years ago lol but still, I lived with my parents and couldn’t afford anything. No one ever got 40 hours and the managers were SO disgusting and annoying. They never let us take food home and we had to throw it away.. we always found ways to sneak it into our cars whether it was in our purse or trash bags. I’m talking perfectly fine sandwiches/bread and panini. They work you to the bone and make it very toxic by telling us we pretty much have to kiss any customer’s ass even if we’re being mistreated. Hopefully it’s a better environment now but that was my take. Does anyone else have a similar experience or…
