Knob in food
While eating at the Panda Express at 249 North Glendale Avenue in Glendale, California (which is that alley with the frog fountain next to the Americana at Brand), I bit into a small piece of hard broken plastic in the noodles. This seems to have been broken off from a kitchen utensil.
I was unharmed by this. But could have broken a tooth. How hard is it to keep plastic out of your food?!
No legal action was possible, because no actual harm was done. And I didn't complain, because I didn't see any point in watching a high school dropout point and shrug. But you'd better believe I'll never eat at Panda Express again!

Rude Co-workers / Manager
My name is Michael, I'm 20 and I've been "Working" (And I use that term very Loosely) At panda for about 2 months. The reason I say Loosely is because I got a bad customer review My second week in. And Whilest I understand that I should be repremanded..the way my boss has gone about it is Un-just and Rude.
On the 17th of october I got a customer review that said that I wasn't greeting customers properly (which is correct) Instead of saying "Hi, welcome to panda express, care to try a sample of our Kobari Beef?" I said "Hi, what can I get for you tonight?". We were slammed and I wasn't trained how to handle a rush. So I was being polite as possible and move the customers along without any problems. The customer later complained that the bathrooms were dirty and they didn't get a Fork, Napkin and Fortune Cookie. Which isn't my fault because I wasn't working the register and Nobody could leave behind the counter to clean the bathrooms. So, I was suspended for a week, starting nov 1st. It's been an entire month and i've had no schedule and haven't been contacted by my manager (Carrol) on whether or not i've been fired.
I had to call her and try to figure out what's going on, only to have her tell me that she'd talk to me the next day with details. Also, I was informed by her that I'm still listed as an active employee in her store even though I've not worked in almost a month and a week (5 weeks) It's been 2-3 days since then and I've still had no word. I've got bills to pay and i'm trying to get signed up for college. If i'm EMPLOYED as a panda express employee and listed as ACTIVE I expect to be working. I can't afford to NOT work. This is unfair and not right. I demand that she be repremanded and I get compensated. I owe my bank money and am supposed to be making payments. I was counting on this job to help SUPPORT me by paying me for working. Please help.

Less food in to go containers
I bought a 2 entree plate & noticed the to go boxes are even smaller than before and other places. The container is split into 3 sections and all sections are now raised so less food goes in. By elevating the sections, you pay more for less. What a shady thing to do Panda Express. This is good for Panda bad for it's customers. I don't appreciated being conned. Panda probably thinks none of their customers notice b/c the box looks the same but the volume has definitely decreased. I will not give Panda Express my business anymore.

Racial Discrimination/Bias
Panda Express is an organization that appears not to promote a fair number of non-Asians. In spite of more than 65% of it's hourly non-management employees being non-Asians its proportion of non-Asians in above store level (e.g. District Manager - called ACOs) is very low. I am estimating these numbers and its accuracy is not assured 100% but noted as directional.
Why do I say this?
Look at the numbers(est.)
130 District Managers = 25% non-Asians
30 Regional Directors = 0% non-Asians
7 Zone VPs = 14% non-Asians
I worked in Florida and witnessed our ZVP (non-Asian) unexpectedly resign in July 2010? Our strong, inspiring President resigned last Nov 2009- he was non-Asian. I find it difficult to understand that a company with over 10, 000 employees cannot find more qualified non-Asians to be in leadership positions above the restaurant level. Seems that other chains have been able to do better - why?
Get the picture?
For a company whose mission is to inspire and better the lives of it employees - what type of employee is being bettered? Your call.

discrimination
Well I worked for panda express for about 5 years. The first year my manager was a grate guy, very nice. He new was he was doing and how to manage the store.
But then there came the changes new GM. At first he was nice he asked the employs to help him with the store telling him about scheduling, business, ECT… After he got the hang of things. He became more and more aggressive. He would pull employees from their shirt. Take hours away if you did not do what he wanted to do. But his magic words were "I'm trying to help you." So that way he would excused what he was doing
The business went down because of the food quality. Other co-workers were not too happy. You either did what he wanted or expected your hours to be cut. And then came the costumer complaints about service, food, and quality. If the store got a he would blame it on the employee. Ok I know that sometimes you do thing wrong but you learn from your experience. But then I saw him slap a cooks hand because he was not doing what he wanted. But he didn't stop to think that the cook was getting vegetables to cook. I saw him slap the same employee at least three times
Then a cook cut his thumb. We could see part of his bone. He would not stop bleeding. The cook didn't speak English so he asked me if I came take him to the hospital. I told the GM.
His response was no. And he turns to the bleeding cook and very mad asked him for his SSN number. He new that the cook didn't have one, he scared the cook. The cook said "forget it I rather go home." So we gave him a ride home. I guess the bleeding stopped because we put lots of pressure. Over night he had a fever. So he didn't work on Saturday, and went to work on Sunday washing dishes with his hurt finger. He missed work and didn't get paid workers cop. because the GM did not file an injury report.
Another thing that happened was that an argument happened between two cooks and one pulled a knife out and said "Next time you bother me it's in your stomach." I guess the argument was because of gay remark to another. The cook who had the knife to his throat told the GM. The GM said, " next time I will fire you both." For me I thought that next time that the cook is cut he might do something. Well there was a next time. The same cook who grabbed the knife now burned the other cooks hand with boiling water. Same people same argument. This time the GM had no choice but to give a warning to the bad cook.
So I worked for them for five years and got fired. But I feel that all the time I would voice my concerns. I would get my hours cut. I had a family wedding so I spoke to the AM and expressed to her that I could not work on Monday so I got scheduled for Monday. I called on Sunday to know at what time I would work on Tuesday a co-worker told me Monday. So Monday morning I'm calling the Am at 8 am. I'm trying to find a co-worker to cover for me. Lastly I called the GM about 8:30 am. He was mad because he said I didn't tell him anything. He didn't work that day so how could I have spoken to him about it. So I got a warning. I know I'm not I made mistakes but I learn from them. When I went to work on Friday my daughter was sick so I took her to the babysitters and told her if anything was wrong to call me. She was calling my cell phone like ten times I ignored those calls. That morning we were busy we have a big catering order, store phone was ringing like crazy, drive three. So I had to do three things at once. The other employee did not understand much English so I was on my own. For the last call on my cell I answered and it was for only 5 sec. I was waiting for food to be cooked, big order. For my bad luck the costumer at the window saw me answer my cell. And complained to the corporate office. So he fired me.
What can you do when the company has a human resource office that doesn't help?
What can you do with an abusive manager?
Lastly what do you to when your GM or AM boss thinks that they are doing their job but truthfully they are not?
I think money talks right. When you have money they don't care about the people who work for you.

Unlawful and rude employer
My name is Melissa and I am 17. I'm currently employed by Panda Express and they treat me worse than other employees. I live in Redding, California and They all treat me very pourly. They get mad at me at every little thing i do wrong without having much training. Also my drawer came up short so the superviser told me i had to give her $20 dollars right there and then. Later i proved that the drawer wasn't really short and that it is illigal for them to make you pay for a short drawer. They're supposed to just write you up which they also did. I feel like they're also disciminating me when even i make a misake they'll just stand there speaking in spanish and i know they'er talking about me. I really does offend me greatly. I'm trying to quit right now but idk how. I'm tired of being treated like that and being talked about behind my back. If someone can help me figure out how to quit i'd be super happy. I'm done feeling miserable and just want to be happy and have fun again. Thank you.

Service
I pulled up to a drive through and ordered $30.00 worth of food for my family. I had my two children in the car. We ordered, the lay Linda who was working the window was not the most pleasant but wasn't totally rude either-at this point. After placing my order she asked if I would like any sauce. I asked for sweet and sour sauce. She asked how many, my reply was 3 or 4 please. She then said "Oh, not that is too many there will have to be a charge". I asked if that was really true especially when I ordered a lot of food. We all like this sauce. Next, she walked away from the window (I didn't know if she was getting the sauce of if she was walking away). She comes back and gives mew 2 sauces in containers. She said I will give them free this time but next time there will be a charge. She handed me SCOLDING HOT sauce. This sauce was so hot it burnt my finer tips, and I dropped one inside my car while trying to through it out the window because I was burning my hands. At this point Linda asked why I through them out, I raised my voice a little and said you just handed me the hottest sauced anyone could possibly hold. I burnt my hands and now my car has sweet and sour sauce on the mat (we just bought our truck 1 week ago). I never got an apology, her only response was "All of our sauces are hot". I told her a warning or put in a bag would have been helpful. This was the worst service I have ever had. The best part...my order was wrong when I got home. I asked for a mangers name and she said there was no manager there and then said that she would give me his name and number. She gave me the wrong name and phone number. I am very upset and this should never happen at a food establishment.

Bad service and food
I when in last thrusday 9-10-2009 like at 8:00pm. i had to wait like 8min to some one to attend me. The person that attend me was named rafael. Plus there wasent many items to choses. And there wasent a clean table, plus the food was dry. I like eating at panda and don't want to stop goin to eat there because i like the food and i know it's fresh because the other times i eaten there didn't taste the same. I suggest to have a supervisor around because it seems like some employee's play around too much?
