Years ago, I was assigned to clean up an office building that had recently been vacated by a government cybersecurity contractor. While throwing away all the trash that had been left behind I discovered a binder that had at least a hundred pages of print outs from mapquest with the location of the panera bread on each circled in pen.


Comments like this tend to weirdly circulate, I've noticed, with people forgetting that originally, it was completely anecdotal and unsourced.

Op I don't mean to disparage you, but this is the internet, and there just aren't enough grains of salt in the world to allow me to swallow a tale like that without speaking up.


What years?

I'm pretty sure the intersection of time between Panera's spread to the east coast and map quest's prevalence don't line up


That could’ve easily been a really boring office lunch option binder, though. ;)


It was a hundred panera bread's from all over the East Coast. Something suspicious was going on...


Do you think it could have been some sort of investigation? Like they say, criminals aren't born, they're bread.


I can’t decide whether to flag this or upvote it. I guess I’ll settle for replying.


Come on, let's stay on topic. All I'm trying to figure out is, have I been scwned?


Was that the path of yeast resistance?


At least around here, they were one of the only places to go with free public WiFi for a while. It could be something related to that, just a place to find open internet hotspots.
