    I worked at Panera and they gave me a whopping $0.08 raise after working there for a year lol. I politely declined and put my two weeks in.

    A couple days later at work I cut my finger because the knife I was using wasn’t sharp enough and I had to use too much force to cut and I ended up cutting the tip of my index finger off. It was just dangling by a piece of skin.

    I had to drive myself to the hospital because the manager didn’t trust the employees enough to leave them alone, then whenever I got there I signed in but the Panera manager didn’t want to give me the insurance information and they told me I went to a hospital outside of their network even though I went to the one they sent me to.

    The next day they called me into work even though the doctor said I couldn’t work for the following week. I told them to fuck off and never went back.

    Panera declined to pay anything but I wasn’t aware of this until I was sent to collections and I had to pay something like $2k for some stitches. That was after negotiating it down from $8k.

    This was in 2018. I probably did a couple things wrong but I was a teenager and I didn’t know better.
