A Grand Opening celebration at a Bass Pro Shops in Odessa, Texas, turned chaotic Saturday when a bathroom dispute spiraled into a full-blown brawl.
According to the New York Post, police said the fight broke out around 3 p.m. after two men waiting in line for the restroom got into a heated argument that quickly became physical. The scuffle spread as several customers jumped in, Fox 4 News reported.
Video posted on X captured multiple men throwing punches and wrestling on the floor while stunned shoppers looked on. One man wearing a Texas Longhorns jersey joined the fight, swinging at others and shoving one to the ground.
At one point, a frustrated woman shouted at the combatants: “Grown-ass men acting like idiots! And you wonder why our schools are falling apart! It’s their fault! Look at the example that you’re setting!”
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, the clash began when a man waiting in line with his wife and child grew irritated that another customer was taking too long in the restroom. When the man finally exited, the argument continued outside before spilling back into the store.
The Odessa Police Department said all the men involved declined to press charges. The individuals believed to have started the fight were issued criminal trespass warnings and banned from the store.
Authorities said the men suffered minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.
Bass Pro Shops, founded in 1972 in Springfield, Missouri, now operates more than 200 locations across North America, including 18 in Texas.
