In this day and age, you never know when you will get to witness a free pay-per-view fight right in front of your own eyes.
You could be watching your favorite country concert when a fight breaks out in the crowd, or you could be enjoying a broccoli bread bowl from Panera Bread, just minding your own business and a couple of people start going at it.
Panera Bread Employee Wallops Rowdy Customer With Baking Sheet
At a Panera Bread in Denver this week, an unruly customer came up to the counter and said, “give me the fu—– phone,” as they knocked things off of the counter, according to news source KDVR.
A man who was witnessing this told the customer: “Hey, c’mon, get out of here,” to which the offender responded by hurling racist slurs at the man.
The unruly customer was for some reason very insistent that their phone had been taken by employees. The other customer who was trying to help got up and shoved the offender in the back, which caused them to start throwing punches, resulting in a brawl on Panera’s tile floor.

Here’s where it gets crazier: A Panera Bread employee, fed up that this is happening in their store, decided to take matters into her own hands.
The employee is seen on video coming out from behind the counter with a giant baking pan, walloping the unruly customer with it.
Watch here:
Patrons and employees can be heard in the background shouting, “call the police, call the police!”
It’s not clear why the customer thought employees had taken their phone, but it’s clear they picked the wrong Panera to start a fight in.
