I applied in-person. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Marietta, GA) in Sep 2014
Interview
Very Basic there was a lack of questions that would mean anything to a future employee. I guess they kind of gauge you as a person with a pulse. If you don't get hired by them don't worry because they will feel sorry they don't have anyone. Just show that you have common sense and you should be more than fine.
