When Panera Bread opens up at Government Center this month, a few key elements will be missing from the bakery and sandwich shop: There will be unattended collection buckets instead of cash registers and “suggested donations” instead of prices.
The store is the latest iteration of a worthy social experiment by Panera founder and co-chief executive Ron Shaich, a Brookline resident, to test human nature and, in the process, provide a new way to help feed the hungry.

We should get free Panera sandwiches in Massachusetts too!
Next Month, Bro.

Don't let Mr. Shaich read jacoby's Globe artcle of today explaining how humans are basically bad unless controlled by religion or government, or whatever the heck his point was supposed to be. It might cause Mr. Shaich to pull the plug on the project.
Read about half, then needed a "smoke break" to finish it. Reads better stoned. A hastily and poorly concealed Opinion/News, if ya' can heah meh..silly jacoby. Bad jacoby..
