Panera Bread CEO: Don't Bring Your Guns Into Our Restaurants

Forbes ^

[OldSmaj]

Too late.

I already did.

But I won't again.

Or my money, twink.

[Amendment10]

When will these corporations learn the 2 + 2 consequneces of publicly discouraging / banning guns at their business establishments?

My guns have a magical mystical connection to my wallet. They don't travel separately.

I like that. Well said. I may quote you on this from time to time.

[cripplecreek]

That’s OK, I can make my own bread. I’ve been making a loaf nearly every day in the crock pot.

Today I decided to experiment and mixed some Parmesan cheese into the mix and a bit on top.

[SkyDancer]

I’m just amused that nobody has popped a few rounds through the Target logo ... just saying ....

[The Duke]

I have no doubt that Panera will be ‘reaping the whirlwind’. Maybe they should open up a shop in Ferguson, MO to show their support for their new customer base?

[Pilated]

Mark me down as never ate there never will. I got maybe forty years left to shun this restaurant.

FrdmLvr said: "I’ll only go in to use my gift card."

Since Panera has changed the terms under which they will honor the gift card, I would think you have a refund coming. You certainly would not have encouraged the purchase of the gift card if you had known of these new limitations.

Well carp! There goes another good restaurant off my list of dining places. Heck with ‘em.

Dear Panera Bread:

Please review the attached news article and reconsider your position on law-abiding citizens carrying weapons.

Add Target and Starbucks to that list.

[DocJhn]

I can make bread, Panera, you are of no use to me!

[Tzfat]

Panders hasn’t been paying attention. JC Penny and Target have made it pretty obvious that people don’t like CEOs getting political.

[Rome2000]

These are the idiots who asked me if I wanted a side order of bread with my steak sandwich on sourdough.

[cashless]

Woohoo! Now the next nut job on psychotropic drugs who is off their meds, won't have just schools and movies to find and to kill bunches of unarmed people...he can go to Panera or Target. Ain't this country great or what? How ‘bout we kill them as quickly as they kill the first victim. Think that might deter them in just the least little bit? Panera Bread now serving Milton Milqtoasts, nationwide.

[SoFloFreeper]

Tell ya what, assclown: I won’t bring my wallet in either.

How’s that grab ya?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Great another place we won’t waste money at.

[OldNewYork]

Never ate there, now never will.

Clearly, employees of Panera Bread are in danger. And their bosses, in an urgent message to customers who are law-abiding citizens, do not want those employees fully protected.

[wideawake]

OK. I won’t bring any money either.
