"Mr president at Panera Bread" by /u/banquetbangerv6

On November 10, 2023, at roughly 8:22 PM (UTC-7), Daniel had a public meltdown inside a Westminster, Colorado Panera Bread. This incident was filmed by bystanders, an employee from the store, and the managers he was on Discord with. The exact reason for the meltdown is unknown, though it appears to have stemmed from being recognized by fans, who then proceeded to follow Daniel around and harass him.

A member of the Discord server Daniel was on a call with during the incident went on to claim that they weren't involved at all, and that this occurred naturally after a couple of fans had taken photos of Daniel.[1]

The incident is strikingly similar to the Häagen-Dazs Incident, which happened about six months before, given Daniel's use of slurs. This could be counted as the worst meltdown Daniel has ever had, given how nobody has ever seen him in this state of distress before.

Background

Before the incident, a group of trolls were following Daniel around between locations, including, but not limited to, Dave & Busters, Target, [2] and an unknown restaurant.[3] Earlier in the night, Daniel posted an official looking document from Dave & Busters stating that he was banned from all locations.[4] This letter was later confirmed to be real, after an employee mentioned the letter during one of Daniel's live streams when he showed up months later.[5]

Daniel has been banned from other restaurants in the past for dining and dashing, including Dave & Buster's. Incidents such as these are what eventually led up to his ban.

Transcript


Daniel: You guys need to shut the fuck up! (takes deep breaths) Don't be talking like that!

Troll: Talking to Grace VanderWaal!

Daniel: No! I work under fucking management so shut the fuck up! GO AHEAD AND FUCKING RECORD ME! BITCH!

Troll: Look at him, it's like Bigfoot! It's like fucking Bigfoot!

[Daniel flips off the troll]

Troll: Holy shit, it's like Bigfoot dude!

Daniel: I'm calling the police on you! I have you on camera!

Troll: It's like Bigfoot, holy shit! I never thought I'd see this stuff happen in my whole life. That dude's a local fucking TikTok user. I fucking thank you!

Bystander Video

The peak of the incident was mainly caught on camera by an employee.

In the video, Daniel is dealing with two Panera Bread employees who are trying to get him to leave. Daniel refuses to leave, repeatedly yelling the phrase, "Try me, bitch!", even throwing a table in their direction. Daniel then starts shouting about his fans leaking his location, and eventually, another employee calls the police. He is then is warned that the employee will press charges for assault, to which Daniel responds by repeatedly shouting, "I NEVER PUT HANDS ON YOU, BITCH!", before beginning to punch himself and then screaming.

The employees stand around recording before turning their backs on Daniel for a split second. Daniel stops screaming, then tries to sneak up on them with his arm raised, however, he never follows through and sits back down. The employee then raises his voice, causing Daniel to hit himself more and sit back down again, still shouting about never assaulting the employee. Daniel then screams the n-word multiple times while also claiming to have a lawyer and threatening to murder everyone in the establishment.

Daniel's POV and the Aftermath

Posts on Daniel's community tab

During the incident, Daniel was on a Discord call with a management, who captured some of the events from Daniel's point of view. During the video, Daniel turns the camera around, revealing a bloody face from his own punches. Eventually, the police arrive and talk to Daniel.

Somehow, he was not arrested, but Daniel made a statement that the management at Panera Bread have banned him from the restaurant. But, knowing Daniel's tendency to lie, the statement remains to be substantiated.
