Wigs & Plates Sent Flying During Wild Waffle House Brawl In Florida
A Waffle House in Orlando, Florida became the scene of the latest brawl at the restaurant chain to make its way onto social media. An apparent argument between a customer and the staff takes a turn when objects start flying through the air.
It's hard to tell from the video, taken by an influencer by the name of Capo, if this was just an overall rough night at this particular Waffle House or if the trash littering the floor was an indication that there were already objects being thrown.

What can be seen in the video is a female customer throwing something towards a couple of female employees who are standing behind the counter. One of the employees responds by throwing what looks like a coffee cup at the customer.
The customer has her hands up at this point and is stepping towards the other employee. The second employee picks up a plate and throws it at the woman as she steps towards her. This only slows the customer down momentarily.
She shrugs the plate off, it falls to the floor and shatters, then she proceeds to quickly walk towards the opening in the counter. Realizing that might not be the smartest move considering that's the employee's turf, and she was outnumbered, she retreats.
It was too late. The switch had been flipped to on. One of the employees - the plate thrower - decided that her wig was coming off, and she was exchanging punches. She tossed her wig on the counter, then superman-punched the customer, causing her to stumble backwards into a table.
Complete Chaos At The Waffle House Appears To Have Somehow Managed To Avoid Serious Injuries
The coffee cup throwing employee then jumped into the action. A second customer didn't like what she was witnessing and decided to mix it up with the employee who had jumped into the action.
The second customer was welcomed to the wild brawl by having her blonde wig ripped off her head while being hit with punches. A man tries unsuccessfully to break the fight up.
Shoes are off at this point, the fighting is taking place on broken glass, and more wigs are sadly winding up as casualties of the altercation. Plates are once again being thrown as others step in to try and break things up.
The craziness is far from over. A male employee armed with what looks like a couple of brooms starts yelling from behind the counter for the fighting to stop while plates and other objects continue to be thrown.
He appears to have finally calmed the situation down. Inside the restaurant, anyway. When the camera shifts to where the male employee was headed, the door can be seen being held open with some who were involved in the brawl making their way outside.
The video ends with the influencer hilariously trying to get the order he says that he paid for before calling it a night. In a follow-up video, he can be seen behind the counter making his own plate.
What a night at the Waffle House. You have to hand it to those involved in this melee. When they decided to get after it, they got after it.
Minus all the wigs that went down during the battle, it appears as if serious injuries were somehow avoided.
