Want to watch an exciting contest that features a lot of trash talking and violence? Who needs the Super Bowl when you’ve got Waffle House? Two of that eatery’s employees did their best to provide entertainment to their customers by treating them to a brawl, free of charge, that featured knives and an invitation for some gun play.
Knives out as two Waffle House employees launch into massive fight in South Carolina that leaves [sic] reduces the restaurant to a war zone
Chaos ensued at a South Carolina Waffle House as two employees brawled across the restaurant, even breaking some of the eatery’s windows.
The fight was filmed at the Bluffton location on January 18 and shows the two employees duking it out and shouting obscenities at each other.
The cameraman, from North Carolina, said about the video: ‘It started with fists and ended with broken store windows, knife wounds, and a free ride home for one of the cooks.’
In the eight-minute-long clip, the two men punch each other while spectators film and customers continue eating their foods [sic].
It is currently unknown what prompted the fight but the camera man claimed that it started after he and his friends came into the restaurant.
‘I’m tired of your s**t,’ the staff member in yellow can be heard shouting to his coworker once the two separate from their fight.
I’m glad that the reporter at the Daily Mail was able to decipher at least that much. I myself can’t understand a word of their ghetto gibberish. It doesn’t help that every other word that spews from their mouths is an obscenity and therefore bleeped out.
The two go back-and-forth about who won the fight, with both claiming that they got more punches in.
But the other staff member, dressed in gray, is bleeding from his arm and insinuates that it is just a scratch.
“Tis but a flesh wound.”
Later footage shows the irate employee in yellow donning two sharp knives and telling the other man to come outside.
I’m unclear about whether or not this this was an invitation to a mutual knife fight. Was this guy going to be chivalrous about this battle to the death and offer his opponent one of the knives? Because that would have been cool! He should have produced one of those disposable food service gloves slapped him with it and thrown it at his feet. “I throw down the gauntlet, sir!” What a terrible waste of an opportunity.
The altercation continues for several minutes as customers continue with their food and no one really works to diffuse the situation.
At one point, the man in gray suggests that he has a gun and people in the store attempt to persuade him not to use it.
The man in gray even instructs the other employee to show up to his house, to which the other staff member is too willing to oblige.
The arguing continues and more fighting occurs before the two both declare that they’ve won the fight again.
I really don’t feel as if either can claim victory here. Neither one is a very proficient fighter, indeed at times it’s hard to discern if they were fighting or just getting a little romantic.
I mean the best punch of the entire combat was thrown at about 2:45 by the man in gray after the man in yellow’s attempt to bludgeon him with the condiment basket.
But that punch should have resulted in a KO or at least a knockdown. The man in yellow was distracted while setting his condiments down, but the blow missed its mark and more feeble grappling ensued.
A later clip shows wreckage from the fight, as someone has managed to break one of the windows at Waffle House.
The cameraman can be heard talking to someone and explaining to them how the destruction unfolded.
He even shows his own plate that he took out of the restaurant, as the employees are too busy with the fight to even notice.
Waffle House could not be reached for a comment.
Can’t blame them for not responding. Their spokesman probably has laryngitis from having to constantly apologize for all the shenanigans that happen in their restaurants. What’s really amazing to me is that no police arrived to corral these two pugilists. I mean this is Waffle House, for crying out loud! Everyone knows that calamities like this seem to occur there almost nightly. You’d think that the cops would set up a sub-station in the parking lot of each one.
And in the end, unless these two take up careers as boxers, MMA fighters, or pro wrestlers, we now have two more welfare cases on our hands . . . or two more future members of the prison system. Because despite their official silence, I assume Waffle House has fired them and who’s going to hire them now? So the fight wasn’t free after all. We’ll probably be paying for it with our tax-payer dollars.
