My Panera buds!

This is Ken... I see him every morning I work. He always gets two plain bagels, coffee and the newspaper. He always needs my help with cross words puzzles, and must I say a little flirt this one is.
These are my favorite Panera couple.. This sir speaks with a German accent.. I absolutely love them and their love for each other.. Every time they come in they are always holding hands... sigh..... adorable
