He went to Waffle House to sober up. Workers dumped food on him ...
Like countless drunk people before him, he wanted to sober up with the help of some greasy food before heading home. But before he could order his hash browns, he passed out facedown on the counter.
A video originally uploaded to Instagram shortly after, and obtained by WSB-TV, a local ABC affiliate in Atlanta, shows what happened next.
As the man slept, one worker at the Waffle House dumped a salt shaker onto his head, layered a slice of cheese on top, then squeezed on a heavy dollop of ketchup, while a second employee danced around in the background.
Other shots showed a Waffle House employee moving around the mans arms, like a puppeteer with a marionette, and making him dance to rap music.
Nearly 7,000 people had seen the video within an hour of it being posted, WSB-TV reported, and the man got word of his unexpected and unwelcome celebrity after numerous friends advised him and his fiancee to check it out. As soon as I saw it, I was in awe and I busted out crying, his fiancee said.
The Instagram account where the video was originally posted has since been set to private, but the mans fiancee told the station that several similar videos filmed at the same location in Lithonia, Ga., had been posted on the page, suggesting that the Jan. 2 incident was not a one-off occurrence.
Waffle House has since fired the two employees who appeared in the video and apologized to the couple, company spokesman Pat Warner said. The customer filed a police report with the DeKalb County Police Department on Jan. 7, alleging simple battery ... he ultimately declined to seek charges against the workers.
