Ha! We went into a Panera Bread last week. There were two counters but no service. We stood there for several minutes expecting someone to take our order at the counter and then realized there were iPads to place your order.
We ordered soup and bread and a couple drinks. For $20 you obviously get what you pay for, but is it a place I would really ever go out of my way to eat at? No.
It was clearly microwaved soup with way too much salt. The place was rather filthy inside. The people working there didn’t want to be there and neither did we.
Maybe it’s nostalgia but years and years ago I recall Panera having better service and food. I didn’t really change my standard that much (we eat out a few times a year and not at upscale places).

They got bought out by a giant conglomerate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAB_Holding_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAB_Holding_Company My recent experience mirrors yours. Much worse than in previous years. I don't have any urgency to ever go there again. But ... on the day I was there the place was pretty busy, so quite a few people still like it.
