Manager at Panera Bread hits woman

[Liz Rod]

A hulking manager for a Manhattan Panera Bread franchise attacked a subordinate, knocking her to the ground with two haymakers, a stunning video released Wednesday on YouTube shows.
The video, taken at 12:30 p.m., inside the Park Ave. South store near E. 23rd St. shows the employee — who is clearly a foot shorter than the manager — yelling at her attacker.
She threw a bag of chips on the floor before her manager wallops her twice. The second blow knocked the woman to the ground, the grisly 40 second video shows.

The person who posted the video, known only as Midgarr, said the Panera employee was quitting mid-shift when everyone’s tensions rose.

“(She) just wasn’t having it today,” he wrote on his YouTube post. “(She) threw some bag of chips on the floor, yelled, etc. Manager in white shirt basically threw her out the door, she came back, and then...this.”
Witnesses were left stunned

“(The manager) legit threw her down a flight of stairs and out the front door for really no reason,” one tipster told Gawker, which first reported the story. “She runs around to the other entrance to retaliate and that’s where the video starts. You might wanna say she hit him first, but really he had FULL CONTROL over her the entire time.”

The employee did not appear to be seriously harmed.
Cops were investigating the attack Wednesday evening.
A manager at the Midtown Panera Bread refused to comment Wednesday evening

A spokeswoman for Panera Bread confirmed the attack Wednesday night — and said that manager and the employee have been fired.
“Today there were reports of a physical altercation between two associates at our Park Avenue South bakery-cafe,” spokeswoman Amanda Cardosi said.
“We have a zero tolerance policy for violence and worked swiftly with authorities to investigate. The associates who were determined to be involved no longer work for Panera,” Cardosi said.

“The health and safety of our associates and guests will always be our top priority."

[Michael9100]

[TheSpook]

He was fukking her more than likely

 

[babylon1]

why it always gotta be black dudes who are hitting women in these videos???

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Looks personal. He's fired...and she might get paid..


If she was a customer shed be getting paid no doubt

He should have controlled himself and called the police. She started the whole thing and should have kept her mouth shut, but men are physically stronger than woman and a good punch to the face could knock her out. I don't feel sorry for either one of them.

 

[agnosticlady]

Self defense, I see nothin wrong here

In before:

"A female is allowed to hit a male, but he can't hit back"

Simps and bytches

A woman should not put her hands on a man. That is called staying in a womans place. It means not running up on men and starting fights with them. At the same time he should have controlled his emotions and called the police. He shouldn't have hit her back, because one good punch could have knocked her out cold and he would have more to worry about than being fired from a job. Women like her are trifling but unless a woman is come shehulk send her away.

Men can't knock out other men with one punch? It routinely happens...strength dont make ya chin strong.

But he should have called the police because you never physically escort out an employee unless they are hurting another employee. If she left and came back automatic trespassing.

Of course men can knock out another man with one punch, but women tend to be smaller than men. There is a reason why they don't let women play in male dominated sports with a man at the same time. C'mon look at the video. The chick is like no taller than 5'3". He should have just called the police on that chicken head.

And for the record NYPD gave him the option to press charges. She was legally wrong and admit such especially since it was on video.

However you call the police cause anyone coming back in may have a gun. He could have been killed by not immediately getting on the phone.

Durrant couldn't bench the bar, lol. I could find plenty of women stronger than him as a rookie.

But he did too much anyways. You don't touch your employees and she was trespassing. Dont confront an angry lady walking back in...she could have easily shot that dude!!!
