As more and more of the population are getting fully vaccinated from COVID-19 over 40% of us are heading back to the office this summer and are readjusting to our old routines. This includes in-person meetings, working in real clothes, and most importantly, grabbing your morning commute coffee from Panera Bread.
Panera Bread found that after a year of many of us working from home without in-person office interaction nearly 20% anticipate feeling socially awkward upon their return to the office. Many have forgotten how to act when no longer behind a Zoom camera or drop that watercooler conversation and of course managing your time again in an office setting.
That’s why Panera is launching “IRL Reminder” coffee sleeves – with friendly reminders of what is typically deemed as standard office behavior.

Starting on June 21, your Panera coffee will come with coffee sleeves giving you hilarious tips like:
· “Put on pants – coffee dates aren’t waist-up anymore”
· “You can’t go ‘off cam’ to clean bread crumbs off your face anymore”
· “Your boss can see you’re late because of this coffee”
And because Panera knows how important your morning commute coffee is, they are offering 3 months free when you sign up for the coffee subscription, for just $8.99 a month, you can get unlimited coffee via MyPanera+.
The IRL Reminder coffee sleeves will be complimentary with Panera coffee orders at participating cafes in select markets (New York, LA and Chicago) for a limited time starting June 21.
Let us put our (sweat) pants on and go get some.
