What doesn’t happen at Waffle House? Last year alone there were people falling through the ceilings, armed citizens killing armed robbers, black children rioting, and a mass shooting that sent the Mayor of Nashville crying out for gun control. Which brings us to heinous crime. A drunken customer staggered into a Waffle House (which I am told is far from being an uncommon event) in Georgia, plopped onto a stool at the counter, and promptly passed out. What did the employees do? They used him as a human marionette then tried to make a cheeseburger out of him. Hey, it’s Waffle House! What did you expect?
Waffle House employees seen pouring salt, ketchup on intoxicated customer had posted similar videos online, woman claims
Two employees at a Georgia Waffle House have been fired after footage of their less-than-hospitable antics was posted to Instagram last week. And now, the victim’s fiancee says she believes the same employees may be responsible for similar videos she claims to have seen online.
The employees, who were working at a location in Lithonia, Ga., had filmed themselves placing food on the neck of a passed-out customer who had reportedly entered the restaurant in early January while highly intoxicated and aiming to sober up, WSB-TV reported.
Footage originally shared to Instagram by one of the employees – although no longer publicly available – showed the unconscious customer with his head on the counter. One employee then placed salt, a slice of cheese and a squirt of ketchup on the back of his head, while another propped the customer up in his seat and moved his arms like a puppet.
WSB-TV further reported that once the unidentified man woke up, he ordered food, paid and walked home.
The customer and his fiancée became aware of the employees’ actions after seeing the footage online. The man’s fiancée, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed that the Instagram account that hosted the video featured several others showing patrons presumably being taken advantage of.
I’m assuming they don’t mean raped, but that’s what that phrase implies to me. Look, I’m not saying it’s cool to season (and that was WAY too much salt, by the way, and where was the pepper?) and apply Kraft Singles to an inebriated customer’s head, but is it cool to be so drunk in public that you pass out at the counter of a public establishment? Don’t want to be “taken advantage” of? Don’t get blind drunk and go to a Waffle House.
And do they wish to remain anonymous because he was humiliated by the employees or is it that they don’t want everyone to know that this guy is the town drunk?
“Half of the people who are on his page probably don’t even know they’re being exposed at the moment,” she told WSB-TV.
Well of course not! They’re a bunch of stinkin’ drunks! They don’t know the people that did it and they don’t remember the night it happened.
The diner filed a police report with the DeKalb County Police, but did not press charges, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Waffle House, meanwhile, has confirmed the firing of the two employees seen in the video.
“We have been in contact with the customer and have apologized,” Waffle House spokesman Pat Warner confirmed to Fox News. “When we learned of this event, we launched an investigation, and have terminated the employees involved. Their actions in no way represent our company or our thousands of associates who strive to provide our customers with a positive experience daily.”
Spare me the bullshit. Actually, from what I’ve seen online about Waffle House, these employees represent your company perfectly. Disregarding all the other episodes above, remember two years ago when two other of your “associates” were doing their hair in the kitchen? No? Let me refresh your memory, Mr. Waffle House spokesman . . .
In the end this was just more black on black crime. But hey, at least they didn’t finish their human hamburger job and toss his carcass on the grill.
