don't view this as a total socialistic model. This model preys more on the greed side of people, rather than just offering up different priced foods. A true socialistic model that these goons should have experimented with was to charge people related to their income level. You make $200k/ year? Your sandwich, chips and drink will be $25. You make $20k/year? Yours is $5. Something like that. Don't know how to prove the incomes of customers, but that is a true socialistic experiment, rather than the one attempted.
This is exactly what my company is doing with healthcare premiums

Panera is delicious if you’re in the mood for pastry and coffee. Not healthy though.
You know, it’s hard to worry about “food insecurity” (is this the new term now?) when 80% of the country’s poor is obese. I’d rather send money to St Jude or something. I pay plenty taxes that go towards the poor, and the poor don’t look hungry.

They also had to add digital locks to the bathroom doors(with codes that changed every hour) because people would try to sleep in them or use them to shoot up and pass out in them.
There's a lot of that in Albuquerque. I can't wait to live somewhere again where the general public can be trusted with an open public restroom.

One thing I don't like about Panera (and they are just one of hundreds of other examples) is how they make themselves out to be this ultra-healthy, good clean eating place. Presumably if I was a fatty, or wanting to eat a better diet, and saw their commercials I would think this place is really healthy and good for me. Yet in the commercials they show people chomping down on large sandwiches that are mostly just bread and woofing down a soup that is mostly cheese. Subway is by far the worst offender though.

There's a handful of of things that aren't calorie heavy there, yet they've got the herd of cattle bought in!

Eh, not really.
From weight loss stand point, eating a 6" sub for lunch and dinner is pretty low calorie. Pair that with exercise, and you can lose weight on that diet pretty quickly.

Panera Bread has shuttered the last of its ideologically driven "pay what you want" restaurants. The socialist-tinged ventures were called "Panera Cares" and the higher-ups have finally figured out that "caring" is not synonymous with "viable business model." On February 15, the final Panera Cares, located in Boston, will close.
Liberals.

I’m also surprised that it lasted as long as it did, but I had a thought- if it wasn’t branded as a Panera Bread, but more of a ‘community restaurant’, do you think it would have been more successful?

A socialist model would make this be a standard crappy sandwich provided by the government. You would not be able to get more than your crappy sandwich and certainly nothing like what they have at Panera.
