Panera needs your help now that the right-wing is boycotting them...

[mreilly]

... suffice to say, the CEO of Panera released a statement promoting peace and tolerance and condemning the alt-right. Not regular Republicans. The alt-right.

But of course the thin-skinned crybabies on the right assumed it was a hateful attack on them - because that's what being an asshole is all about and are howling and crying they will boycott Panera.

I've been jabbing the fuckers telling them: "Thanks for telling us that. I have a family of 5 and we LOVE Panera and will make sure to eat there as often as possible to support them."

All I'm saying is they do indeed have great food and service - unlike that right-wing shithole that is Chik-Fil-A which sells greasy crap largely to idiots who love an institution that says gay marriage is wrong - and if you're inclined to eat somewhere please help them out.

LOL, disclaimer I do NOT work at Panera; I am an IT guy and writer but we need to stick with like-minded people in their hour of need.

To think Panera is being subjected to boycotts for promoting peace.

As Forrest Gump said, "That's all I got to say about that."

1. mmm Panera cheddar broccoli

With a baguette to dip in it.

Makes me hungry.

[Iggo]

7. "Two baguettes, and I don't need a spoon."

[irisblue]

2. their cinnamon bagels schmered with walnut or plain cream cheese

is really worth a trip.

[haveahart]

3. They continue to do a brisk business in my area. I will make it a point to go there more often.

A boycott by the RW won't hurt them that much...the jobless, ignorant, gun-toters do not frequent Panera.

[ghostsinthemachine]

4. I'll hit em up more

When I'm around one.

[Roland99]

5. My daughter has her first job at one near us.

I've always liked their pick two

[Baitball Blogger]

8. They can do no wrong in my book, because they gave my son his first summer job.

He was previously demoralized with ten previous attempts at looking for help, with no hits.

[GulfCoast66]

6. I enjoy facist free establisments! nt

[Midnight Writer]

16. Me too!

[mreilly]

9. Thanks to you all - I've been further prodding the fuckers...

"I've got plenty of friends eating at Panera to override your boycott!"

Thank you all so much if you even consider it. I swear the right-wingers are SO PISSED OFF by what I've done. Their self-righteous little squawks of "I'm never eating there again!" just disintegrated since I basically said: "We ALL are!" Ha!

And if that isn't reason enough to grab a bite there, what is?

Thank you, thank you...

30. And BECAUSE they're so livid, you

can fire back at them, "See? EVERYBODY's happy."

[Laffy Kat]

10. Oh dear!

Guess I'll have to enjoy another chicken, strawberry, and poppy seed dressing salad. Might also have to have a pastry or two. So sad.

[JI7]

11. It doesn't seem like a place most right wingers would go to

[smirkymonkey]

21. No, not enough brain-clogging cholesterol for them.

[Sugar Smack]

31. Or SALT.

[SoCalNative]

22. No

I doubt most of them could afford it. I remember a right-leaning friend complaining about "how expensive" they are after having lunch there one day. It's not Cracker Barrell...

[pstokely]

12. it's Bread Co. in the St Louis area

nt

[Bettie]

13. Right wing mouth breathers

aren't Panera's core consumer base.

[BannonsLiver]

17. +1, if it was Golden Corral they'd be in trouble.

[SoCalNative]

23. Or Cracker Barrell

[DesertRat]

14. I love Panera. Thanks for the heads up

I'll head there tomorrow for my favorite salad, Fuji Apple Chicken.

[TxDemChem]

19. Never had this

I'm going to try it on my next visit

[mcar]

25. That's my favorite too

[Hieronymus]

15. I'll go more often .. good food

[TxDemChem]

18. We'll do lunch

I'll even take a selfie there and post it on FB.

[3catwoman3]

20. One more reason to go get more...

...of their melt-in-your mouth frosted shortbread cookies. Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Wounded Bear]

24. Panera will probably be a lot nicer...

without a bunch of RW racist assholes dining there.

[democratisphere]

26. Panera is one of my favorite restaurants so supporting them will be my pleasure.

Rightwing supporters are all nuts; "give me war and to hell with peace."

[Sugar Smack]

27. I love Panera Bread, so thanks for the tip.

I can afford meals there, it's delicious, and it's within walking distance of me. Hey, this is the 1st good news I've read today.

[RazBerryBeret]

28. love Panera

totally need to stop in this weekend. I was unaware of this boycott. that's crazy. Panera has a relatively clean, non-processed food menu. Unfortunately that Asiago Cheese Bagel is still not considered "health food" haha.

[Tree-Hugger]

33. They are so good.

They are a favorite in our house. I also cut them up and use them to make croutons. Mmmm.

[Dulcinea]

38. I love those.

Life is too short not to eat Asiago Cheese bagels!

[Different Drummer]

29. I've never been there before, but one just recently opened in my area.

Knowing about the CEO's statement, I will now be eating there as much as possible.

[Tree-Hugger]

32. I am reading this....

.....while sitting at my Panera, eating a bowl of broccoli cheddar and a roll. I didn't know about their statement. I'll be sure to pick up a half dozen asagio rolls on my way out.

[NurseJackie]

34. There seems to be a LOT of "sympathetic howling" these days...

... it's a real shame. But, at least we know what their true feelings are, and what their motivations are.

Their masks are slipping.

[louis-t]

35. I get gift cards from one of my vendors.

Usually Starbucks, but sometimes Panera. I will encourage him to flip and go with more Panera.

[Horse with no Name]

36. the right wing scum that say they would boycott this

can't even afford to eat there.
Panera will be fine.

[Croney]

37. Oh! I didn't know this, but I actually just left there.

One granddaughter always gets the tortellini alfredo without the chicken, and one gets the chicken noodle soup. Add two drinks, and I dropped twenty bucks (and grumbled to myself about it).

I hereby take back the grumble!

[L. Coyote]

39. Fuck Panera. They block liberal websites on their wi-fi networks.

[samnsara]

40. as if trumpers could afford to eat there anyway. they are the chick filet crowd.

[left-of-center2012]

41. Too expensive for this old man on Social Security.

[colsohlibgal]

42. Yes, No Big Deal

Very, very few far right/ Nazi types would even think of going there, not their kind of place.

[mreilly]

43. Thank you everyone who supports Panera!

I've been letting the upset right-wingers know that the more they howl the more people I'm getting to help overturn their boycott.

And shame on anyone who gets upset at a message promoting peace and tolerance because "it's too political" and "they didn't mention the alt-left/BLM/Antifa some other target I dont' like." Either way it boils down to "Panera is being MEAN to Republicans!"

[NastyRiffraff]

44. Love Panera!

Especially the strawberry/chicken poppyseed salad, available only in season. Yum!

Their chicken salad is outstanding too. Hell, all their food is great.
