So… Someone decided to rob an the wrong IHOP recently (although if I’m being completely honest, I’m pretty sure that every IHOP you try to rob is the wrong IHOP).
Unbeknownst to this particular robber, one of the waiters was a third degree black belt, with experience in multiple other martial arts.
The waiter says he managed to deflect the assailant’s crowbar and then continued to win the scuffle, probably saving many people from harm in the process.
