Georgia mom forced to leave Panera over disabled daughter’s noisy orthopedic shoes

A Georgia woman said corporate officials apologized to her after an assistant manager asked her to leave a Panera Bread restaurant when another customer complained about her daughter’s squeaky orthopedic shoes.

“We weren’t welcome with the shoes,” said Catherine Duke. “It was very blatant.”

Her 4-year-old daughter, Emma, has a developmental disorder and is unable to walk correctly, so a doctor prescribed the special shoes.

Duke said she told the restaurant’s assistant manager that, but she repeated her request for the family to leave Jan. 4 because they were “bothering someone.”
