My choice is Panera
Chicago, IL
ezs note: I don't have to say it...but I will. In January 2020, things were pretty good. Sure, there were some rumblings in Wuhan, China, but that seemed a world away. Then, on February 5, Covid-19 reached the United States in California. It reached my home state of Connecticut on March 6.
Shit.
On April 29, Gov. Ned Lamont allowed drive-thru restaurants to open. Now, you are asking about Panera Bread. What does a chain store have to do with anything? For me, it's the people. When you decide that it's vital to be a transgender woman, this has consequences. Panera Bread welcomed me, bar none. Now Panera Bread has its difficulties. They aren't a chain store, they're people. I want to help them as much as they want to help me.
Now I'm only talking about one store. But Panera Bread is my friend. I hope you will see that, too.
