Waffle House employee killed after customer becomes irate, police say
cnn.com
The customer became “agitated and verbally abusive” toward employees at a Waffle House in Laurinburg, North Carolina, on Friday night, according to a police statement posted on Facebook.
After the customer was given his food, he started walking toward his car, before turning around and firing two shots, police said.
You have to be a special kind of asshole to shoot at someone who just made you waffles.
I'd guess at least some chance of drugs being involved.
I was just in a restaurant where some presumably meth head got a sandwich. Kept talking to the air, doing circuits around the place, couldn't sit still for a minute, was getting himself agitated talking to the air.
I remember watching Donut Operator -- an ex-cop who used to be on a SWAT team and who does commentary on a bunch of YouTube videos. He's said a number of times that the people that he least liked having to deal with when working as an officer were the meth addicts. Really unpredictable, could wind up becoming violent after acting normal a moment earlier.
Chances are, the kid who got shot wasn't even the cook...
That's like... Waffle House's main clientele.
Ever been to a waffle house after midnight? It's a special energy
The ONLY way this could have been Prevented LITERALLY was if the Employee SHOT the Person before they could Shoot them! That's LITERALLY the Only way we could have Prevented this Tragedy! LITERALLY!
Imagine ruining what little peice of shit life you had over a dude taking too long to make fucking waffles.
not to mention that dude's life
Man, Waffle House patrons have gone way downhill from when they were just harassing people for reading books.
How is this news? It's a Waffle House in the south. I feel like an actual eldritch horror could come in eat five customers and their server and another server would come out to say "That'll be 18.50, would you like a side of hashbrowns with it sweetee?"
Lol. My first instinct was to downvote you, but I have to admit this was funny and plays on the long held belief that a waffle house at night is in a different dimension.
"It's the employees fault they're dead, they shouldn't have dared work at Waffle House'
Karens everywhere suddenly get inspired.
Waffle House unfortunately always lives up to its bad reputation.
Crazy shit is almost always going down in a bad way in a Waffle House.
Waffle House is great, though?
I’ve always enjoyed my time at Waffle House. Also, I’ve always been drunk at Waffle House, so maybe my memory does not reflect reality.
I've been sober plenty of times at 6am on long car rides up the east coast. Waffle House is fucking great.
Their food is very good and at a low price.
This is why the death penalty should continue to exist. This fuckstick killed someone over a fucking waffle. There’s over 8 billion people on this planet now we’ll survive just fine without this piece of shit.
The primary argument against the death penalty are the sheer number of people who were executed in spite of later being found innocent.
Just because it doesn't apply in this particular case doesn't mean anything needs to change.
The legal system does not have 100% accuracy.
I’d prefer the government not have the right to kill its citizens.
