FLORIDA MAN DECLARES HIMSELF "INTERIM WAFFLE HOUSE MANAGER" DURING 3 A.M. POWER STRUGGLE
JACKSONVILLE, FL — A Florida man has been banned from a local Waffle House after allegedly attempting to overthrow the night shift and install himself as what he called the restaurant's "temporary breakfast government."
Police say 41-year-old Randy “Tank” Wilcox entered the restaurant shortly after 2:30 a.m. and became increasingly upset after being told hash browns would take a few minutes.
Witnesses say Wilcox stood on a booth and announced:
"The current leadership has failed the people."
According to the incident report, he then:
Appointed himself Acting Manager.
Declared the jukebox state-owned property.
Attempted to promote a dishwasher to Vice President.
Issued handwritten executive orders regarding waffle distribution.
Customers reportedly joined opposing factions after Wilcox promised faster food and unlimited syrup access.
The situation escalated when he allegedly tried to reorganize seating into what he called "districts of breakfast representation."
Employees finally contacted police after Wilcox attempted to swear in a waitress as Secretary of Pancakes.
When officers arrived, Wilcox reportedly argued that the restaurant had experienced a "peaceful transfer of power."
He was removed without incident and permanently banned.
As he exited, witnesses say he pointed toward the grill and yelled:
"History will vindicate me!"
The cook reportedly replied:
"Your eggs are ready."
