Waffle-maker dispute results in 30 people kicked out of Mason County hotel, police say

MASON COUNTY, MI – Two women fighting over the waffle maker in a Mason County hotel apparently ignited a major disruption over the holiday weekend inside the hotel's buffet-style breakfast area, police say.

A Mason County Sheriff's Office deputy stood by as 30 people were ordered by the property manager to pack their bags and leave the America's Best Value Inn, 5095 U.S. 10, in Pere Marquette Township.

Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole said it allegedly all started over the hotel's waffle maker around 9 a.m. on Sunday, May 24.

"It sounded like one lady walked up and asked the other lady if she was in line for the waffle maker. She didn't answer, so this lady started to make her waffle. The other confronted her and said, 'That was my waffle' and the other lady said, 'No, it's mine' and then it went down hill from there," Cole said.

Deputies were dispatched to the hotel and found "a large group of people arguing over the waffle maker," he said.

"The property manager asked that everyone be kicked out of the hotel. All parties involved were ordered to collect their items and they left," Cole said.

No one was injured and no one was arrested for the commotion. The 30 or so people who were ordered to leave are from Chicago and Canton, Mich., Cole said.

"There was just a lot of yelling and screaming, but no one was assaulted," he said. "They were all asked to leave and the deputy stood by while they did that."

When waffles are free, folk will still fight over them.

I bet they were all liberal Democrats, and I bet not a single one of them is under the regular care of a Christian pastor.

When waffle makers are outlawed, only outlaws will have waffle makers. Or only outlaws will make waffles. Sorry, I’m waffling on this issue.

From the article. I’ll leave it you tipo form your own opinion:

“No one was injured and no one was arrested for the commotion. The 30 or so people who were ordered to leave are from Chicago and Canton, Mich., Cole said.”

buffet-style breakfast area

Whenever I'm traveling by myself and think, "I'm only going to be here for a few hours, might as well save a few dollars less and stay at a motel..." the level of class seen at the "free breakfast buffet" is a reminder that an extra $30 for an actual hotel isn't that much after all.

The dispute hadn’t gotten to the fried chicken yet, or there might have been blood!
