A New "Fast Food" Charity

[KevinWestern]

I have ate at that Panera once or twice. My brother lives in Chicago, and I do business there so I am in that very area a good 4-5 times a year. Love that Pancake place just down the street.
I should apologize for yesterday, wasn't a good day. Wasn't really intending to be such an ass. Having said that, Panera along with others have started these "charity restaurants" - but like this one, they are always in well to do areas. My point was if charity was the real object then they would build them where they are most needed.

Sure, sure.

I don't think Panera's trying to fool anyone into thinking that they're a charity organization, or that their #1 goal is to feed the poor. At the core, they're a public company that generates millions of dollars of profit every year.

So when they setup something like this, I take it in stride and say "hey, that's certainly not the worst thing in the world".

They probably get a nice PR boost from it, but at the end of the day they are making a difference in the community.

Don't think they need to be criticized for that.

Nor praised overly much.
