An Atlanta Waffle House employee has been accused of pulling a gun on a customer in a dispute over his order.

According to police reports, Candy Franklin, the alleged victim, said he complained to the employee, Angelic Patterson, because his food order was wrong on several occasions.

WSB-TV, a local TV station reported on the incident, which it said occurred at the Marietta Street location in Atlanta, Georgia, early Wednesday morning.

"It all happened over cheese eggs. At first, they didn't bring them to me. Then they brought me normal eggs and I said that I ordered eggs with cheese on it," Franklin told the outlet.

Things escalated when Patterson became enraged by the customer's complaints and pulled out the weapon, according to authorities.

Police said there were no witnesses present in the incident, but that the restaurant had several cameras positioned inside. Patterson has been charged with aggravated assault, according to the outlet.

The male customer’s name is Candy.
The pistol packin’ waitress is named Angelic.

The customer isn't the sharpest bulb in the drawer.

"Complain about the person who is cooking your food, idjit."

Instead of pulling a gun, the cook might have happily redone the eggs with an oyster included.

“Candy”…”he”

So confused.

Is this a trannie? Which kind?

Can’t be a guy because it would insist on being called “she”.

So maybe it’s a trannie man, a girl who won’t change the name but insists on “him”.

Right, if you send food back, don’t eat it when you get it again. Any restaurant, not just Waffle House.

It was pretty obvious that Candy wasn’t the brightest knife in the chandelier when the story mentioned that there had been several occasions when the Waffle House folks had screwed up his order. For me, once is enough to ensure that I’ll never return.

Back when my parents were alive and I would eat breakfast with
them as a kid, there were a number of times when my Dad would
complain to my Mom that she over/under-cooked his
soft-boiled eggs "Again, Dang-it!" .

After years of this, she refused to make him soft-boiled eggs at all
anymore. Anything else, mind you - but not soft-boiled eggs.

She said: "If you want soft-boiled eggs exactly the way you want
them, make them yourself!"

So after that, he did. LOL.

But, of course, he never pulled a gun on her.

“don’t eat it when you get it back”

So true I worked in food service. Never a cook or chef though I was a bus boy and worked out of the kitchen. I saw what happened to food brought back. I saw a chef drop his pants and wipe himself with a pork chop because it was not seasoned as the customer wanted.

The movie “Waiting” is spot on

My ex MIL is a karen in restaurants. Sending food back is a pastime for her. I can only imagine how many butt wipes and hocked up oysters she has eaten in her life.

I can see this with getting over easy that has liquid, runny, snot egg white because that’s just nasty and worthy of a duel.
