Re: name asking by upscale retail quick service restaurants said by thegeek:Panera Bread here asks for your name but I never hear them call out names. They give you one of those buzzers that indicates when your order is ready. I usually just give an ethnic name that is unlikely to be the actual real name of a white male. I'm hungry for Panera Bread now. Their french onion and chicken & rice soups are fantastic for a fast food place. Fast Food? I really wouldn't lump Panera into the fast food category. |

It rarely takes no more than 5 minutes to get your food even during peek lunch times. They may not have a drive thru but several other fast food joints don't either. |

I'm not sure if Panera is statistically considered fast food, but here in NW Florida all 3 Panera locations near me have a drive-thru window. Yeah, I'd guess it'd be considered upscale... All 3 locations still ask for your name and give you a pager.
So then would you consider Whataburger to be upscale since it's a basic fast food restaurant but they also give you a pager while they make your order -- but they don't ask for you name.
Hmm... Good question...
