Two months after the incident, Halie said, she decided to leave Waffle House and when she tried to get a job at another store, she was told she had been blacklisted.
“I was blacklisted,” he said. “I can’t work for Waffle House ever again. I tried to work for someone else sometime earlier this year, and they found out I was blacklisted.”
And that was despite the original store telling her she could come back at any time, according to Halie.
After the video circulated, Halie opened a new Twitter page called “The Real WWendy,” or Waffle House Wendy, under the handle @WitchDragon5.

At the end of her video, Halie said that she hadn’t had Waffle House in about eight months and that was about to change. But he recapped how events played out that night at the restaurant, in a pretty straightforward way.
“It’s not much,” he said. “They were being rude, belligerent. I finished what I started. That’s it.”
