I used to visit this bakery about once every week or so. I would buy a loaf of bread and indulge in an almond croissant. However, recently when I went in, I saw one of the employees drop a loaf of bread on the floor, and then put it back on the shelf! I could not believe my eyes, but I figured this an isolated incident. However, when I told the employee ringing me up (this time I only bought a latte...you can't drop that on the floor!), the employee said that he couldn't say anything to the woman who dropped the bread, saying that she was a manager, and that putting the bread back was a policy. This is ridiculous! I expect my food to be clean before I buy it. I will no longer be a patron of Le Panier bakery.
