Seven Popeyes employees at a Milwaukee restaurant have been fired after they got into a fight.

- A fight between the employees, that consisted of both male and female participants, reportedly took place in the back of the restaurant by the grills and also in front of the restaurant in the dining area. The fight began around 9:30pm, reports the WashingtonExaminer.
- Richard Fourte, a customer, said that he did not know that there was a fight until someone yelled out “it’s a fight”. He took out his cellphone and recorded parts of the altercation. He says that he did not see the part of the fight that occurred in the back of the restaurant but mentions that a group of employees ran to the back.

This isn’t the first time a fight or deadly incident has occurred at a Popeyes Restaurant this year.
