From the Panera Welcome Page

Help Us to Continue Free WiFi


Peak Hours

Please be considerate during our busiest hours, 11am - 2pm. If others are waiting for a table, we ask that you limit your time to 30 minutes.

Table Size

When deciding where to sit, please consider that a table for 6 may not be the ideal spot for a party of one. We ask you to leave our larger tables for our larger groups.


Fine rules for any WiFi hotspot, I think, and very nicely and politely put by the folks at Panera Bread. Thanks. I'll keep those in mind.

A friendly reminder
Have you tightened the screws on your Tablet PC or laptop lately?

These machines travel. That means they shift around. That leads screws to loosen, and maybe even to fall out.

My old Toshibas, of course, had this problem to an excessive degree, and I lost a lot of screws; but my Gateway had had similar problems. Lately, the screen has seemed to "rock" a lot whenever I moved the machine. A few minutes with a screwdriver, and I found that a third of the screws were loose. I tightened them, and no more rocking screen!
