Two employees of an Alabama Waffle House were caught on video battering each other behind the counter earlier this week. The women went at it like they were in an MMA competition, striking, grappling, and taking the fight to the floor. All the while, they made a mess of the place, knocking kitchen equipment around — occasionally using items as weapons.

One of the women finally got the upper hand, pinning her opponent to the ground for more than a minute, eventually releasing her when police arrived.

A customer recorded the melee with his phone, and told AL.com that it started after one of the employees asked the other to get out of her way so she could wash dishes.

Officers decided not to arrest either woman, but Captain Lorenza Dorsey said they “have the option to have the case reviewed and/or pursued in municipal court if either desires to do so.”
