It is unclear how the suspect could have worked for so long without actual employees stepping in. A Waffle House spokesperson said the company is cooperating with law enforcement's investigation. A manager on duty at the restaurant involved Wednesday morning told Fox Business she was not there when the alleged incident happened and did not have any information.
