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.

    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’

        The house is an indicator for a reason. You don’t work there if anyone else will have you. They are the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of the barrel. Shootings in a Waffle House are common. They aren’t news. A Waffle House is a legitimate version of a crack den. Open 24/7, employs anyone, shit happens. If NC wasn’t ready for this they shouldn’t have let the location open. That it did is an economic indicator for the region.
