Rough time on my own :(

Congratulations on your job! Isn't Panera Bread the company that will give you food, regardless of how much money you can afford to spend?

Hmm? Don't think so? But they are just like every other company that may lower the price for people who look like they need it, like someone is a dollar short or something....

It's a high end fast food cafe (sandwiches, muffins, breads, etc) in a restaurant style. Companies in California use the company for catering etc.

Sometimes you can get them to give you left over throw away food at the end of the day. Tell the manager that anything they trash if you're on shift you're happy to take it home. You can say you have a dog or just bluntly say you don't have a lot of money for food.
