UPDATE: According to KHOU, the two women involved in the Walmart brawl that quickly went viral have apologized for their actions. While both women claim self-defense, both claim they are sorry and want to move on with their lives.

"If I could take it back, I'd take it back," said Alice Keener, who was employed at the Jackson Hewitt kiosk inside the Walmart. Keener said her emotions got the best of her when Jessica Albitz head-butted her.

Police arrested Albitz and charged her with misdemeanor assault.

Tax season can be a very stressful time of year, for both tax pros and customers. Two women at a Texas Walmart let their frustrations fly after getting into a heated argument that was all caught on video.

Albitz claims the fight was triggered by a rude exchange a few days earlier when Albitz and her husband had come in to file their taxes. Albitz  claims Keener verbally abused her husband. Keener claims she was joking.

When the two women met again inside Walmart, verbal insults flew and things got physical. Witnesses quickly broke up the fight, but not before it was recorded and uploaded to YouTube, where it quickly went viral, generating over 2 millions views.

Albitz may want to try TurboTax next year.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
