Fuck you Panera

So I went to Panera today - always seems like a pretty good choice especially when my mom's paying for me. The food there's pretty good, and it's usually a decent atmosphere. So we get up to the counter to order, and I decide on a You Pick Two* combo. You may be wondering about the asterisk*, and so was I, so I direct my eyes to the bottom of the sign. It essentially said "Items marked with stars are subject to additional charge." So to avoid paying more than 5.99 for half a sandwich and half a salad I checked out my options: to avoid incurring an extra fee I could have a caesar or side salad with a peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese. Seriously Panera? I'm paying six dollars for HALF a sandwich and HALF a salad, and the best you can give me would cost me fifty cents to make at home? Of course I could option for som of the more gourmet options, but I do not enjoy paying eight dollars for half of a really good salad and half of a really good sandwich.

So fuck you Panera, way to jump on the "the economy sucks in this country" bandwagon and charge me up the ass for your crappy combo. Next time I'm fuckin going to Jimmy John's
