The Female Waffle House Employee Who Defended Herself Against A Crazed Mob Is Now Banned From Working At Any Waffle House

A Waffle House brawl for the ages captivated the internet this week. The knockdown, drag-out had everything. Things were thrown, a customer jumped over the counter, and punches were thrown.

Then an all-time moment took place when one of the cooks caught a chair that was thrown at her. The cook was nicknamed the Waffle House Avenger. The fight was so legendary that Wonder Woman herself reacted to it.

The cook’s name is Halie(the one with the ponytail and nasty uppercuts) and she filled in some of the details from the insane late night at the Waffle House. But first, here’s another look at the brawl.

In a video she released addressing the viral incident, the Waffle House Avenger reveals that it happened more than eight months ago. She says it was a very busy night and they were understaffed. They had closed off a portion of the restaurant in an attempt to keep up with the orders.

The group that took part in the brawl sat in the closed off area anyway. “We tell them, ‘Hey, that section’s closed, if you could wait for a table?,'” Halie explained. “They’re like, ‘Nah, we’re good. We’ll sit here.'”

The group might have had a few too many to drinks before entering the restaurant, according to Halie. They were being rude and were warned that they would be kicked out if it continued.

“I was telling them I was gonna kick ’em out ’cause they were being rude. I ain’t gonna cook your food, you’re being rude to me,” Halie said.

Things escalated from there. Insults were traded, then a sugar shaker was thrown, and that’s went it turned physical. One of the customers jumped on the counter before falling off and crossing the point of no return.

“That’s when the girl with the dreads stands up. She comes on our side of the counter. Now, if you come on our side of the counter, there’s tile there. It changes from tile to like this bumpy dark floor,” Halie explains. “If you put your foot both feet on the other side or even a single foot on the other side of that floor, we can do anything.”

“We can do legally in our means, whatever means necessary, to remove you or ensure our safety. Whether that means taking one of the cast iron pans and hitting you upside the fucking head with it, or beating the fuck out of you when you fall over. You touch my floor, it’s on.”

Halie wasn’t fired after the brawl. She was only written up for breaking the sugar shaker. She left the job a couple of months after the incident.

Despite being told she was “always welcome” after leaving that store, Halie discovered that she was blacklisted by the company when trying to apply at another location.

She said, “I can’t ever work for a Waffle House again. I tried working for another one sometime earlier this year, and I had found out that I was blacklisted.”
