Standing outside a fast food restaurant in a very warm costume can be draining, so it is no wonder that these restaurant mascots in Russia had such high tempers.

The two, dressed as a cartoon chef and a coin, got into an argument about who could stand where on the sidewalk. The dispute got physical, with both sides throwing punches. But what happened at the end of the fight is what caused the restaurant owners to get the police involved.
