The pure chaos of the original video clip combined with Halie\u2019s big moment has made her chair parry go viral, with many comparing her level of skill to that of the Avengers and elevating her as a Marvel superhero. According to Halie, they were very busy that night. She was trying her best to keep up with orders despite being understaffed. Still, due to insufficient resources to keep up with the restaurant at full capacity, a section was closed off to keep things running as smoothly as possible. Halie claims that the people who fought her tried to sit in this closed-off despite being asked not to. \u201cWe tell them, \u2018Hey, that section\u2019s closed, if you could wait for a table?\u2019 They\u2019re like, \u2018Nah, we\u2019re good. We\u2019ll sit here.’\u201d Halie says she ignored them and tried focusing on the restaurant\u2019s other customers. After a few minutes, these customers got up and started crowding around the counter. She refused them service, something they didn\u2019t take too well. \u201cI was telling them I was gonna kick \u2019em out \u2019cause they were being rude. I ain\u2019t gonna cook your food, you\u2019re being rude to me.\u201d Things went off the rails when patrons started climbing over the counter and into her kitchen. \u201cWe can do anything we can, 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 f***ing head with it or beating the f*** out of you when you fall over. If you touch my floor, it\u2019s on.\u201d This led to the moment that made Halie go viral as the Waffle House Avenger, Waffle House Wendy, The Last Chairbender, and a variety of other nicknames. Enough so that artists started making renditions of the moment and the internet got to work making the best meme edits they could. Halie recounted the events of the evening, including her chair deflection and some details of the fight. She even revealed that, at one point, she tried to make sure one of the people throwing things at her didn\u2019t lose their wallet. \u201cI\u2019m looking up after the fight, and I see a wallet. I grab it, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Real talk, is this your wallet? Deadass, I don\u2019t want anybody to lose their s***. So I was like, \u2018Is this your wallet right here?\u2019 And she was like, \u2018Nah\u2019, and then flung another plate at me.\u201d The Waffle House location had to be closed down for a few hours to handle the police and get the place cleaned up. Halie was reprimanded for throwing a sugar shaker at one of the customers, but she didn\u2019t get fired. She continued to work at this Waffle House location for a bit before leaving, citing that she felt \u201cuneasy\u201d working there. According to Halie\u2019s retelling, the brawl took place much before the video went viral. In the video, she said she hadn\u2019t even eaten Waffle House in \u201caround 8 months\u201d, meaning the viral video could have been months old by the time it caught on. She did note, however, that Waffle House is \u201ca great company, they take care of their employees.\u201d Despite being told she was \u201calways welcome\u201d after leaving that store, Halie discovered that she was blacklisted by the company when trying to apply at another location. \u201cI can\u2019t 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.\u201d However, she said that it\u2019s possible the original location she worked at may still hire her. Halie made it clear she still loves the company she spent four years working with despite how things ended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
