Neither of these two will be whipping up any bacon turkey bravos on tomato basil any time soon. 

A giant manager at a Panera in Midtown Manhattan was caught on video throwing a pair of lurching, awkward, slap-punches that  ruthlessly knocked a much smaller female employee to the floor, the Daily News reports. 

According to the description posted with the video to YouTube, the woman was forced to leave during the lunch rush, and then came back. 

"(She) just wasn’t having it today,” a user named Midgarr wrote on the 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.”

The police were investigating the attack later on Tuesday, the Daily News reported. 

A Panera spokesperson said that both the manager and the employee have been fired.
