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.

Nothing good happens in any Waffle House after midnight.
Shooting someone over eggs is a total overreaction. If it were bacon, OK, maybe a warning shot or two but that’s IT.
I said over easy mother f*cker!
I only ever get breakfast there. Eggs, bacon, grits and black coffee. Can't speak for the rest of their menu but they get you in and out of there pretty fast.
Despite all the horror stories I always read here about Waffle House, I've never had a problem in one of them. Everybody there is very friendly.
Well, I mean, c’mon, cheese.
Don’t know if it’s to die for, but . . .
Just can’t get past this post. Definitely confused and perhaps not on a higher level.
Was Dad happy with the new cook’s eggs?
I remember the greasy spoon Totem Pole Restaurant in the old Western Union Building at 33 Marietta Street.
I just looked on the map and that Waffle House is in a relatively new building that replaced the falling down factory and warehouse buildings there when I first started working downtown forty years ago. On my drive into work from Marietta, I went down Marietta Street every day and parked in the parking lot next to the railroad tracks behind the Western Union Building. I walked past the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation building loading docks to get to Number One Peachtree Street, The First Atlanta Bank Building. It was a different time back then, walking out of the building after working a midnight shift, looking at Woodruff Park coming alive with the sun shining on everything. "Resurgens Atlanta" was still a thing.
I’m with you on that! Yolk slightly runny, but white completely cooked!
We’ve got a local restaurant named “The Blue Plate Cafe” that turns out absolutely PERFECT fried eggs, served piping hot, every single time. Their cook never misses it and their prices are so affordable, too.
We went to a fancy and very expensive resort in Montana a couple weeks ago for a few nights. Their fried eggs were TERRIBLE. I asked for over medium and got undercooked, runny whites. I sent them back and the next batch came out exactly the same! I sure could have used your concealed AR then. Don’t get me started on their crappy coffee served in mini cups and the many trips to the kitchen the waiter took to refill the tiny cups. Ugh.
Try your url again.
One saying, among many, a boss I once had was “You can never win an argument with a customer”. I’ve always found that more realistic than they’re always “right”. They certainly aren’t.
Use to work in the Raleigh area and a couple of times a week, a few of us from the office would head down the street to the local Waffle House for breakfast. The waitress was in her late 60s-early 70s and would take our orders with a cigarette hanging off her lip. The cook was a large young black fellow on work release.
One morning, the waitress took our order but we couldn’t help but notice she was a little irritated. A few minutes later there was a big commotion back in the kitchen area and the waitress came storming out throwing off her apron a spitting out her cigarette and yelling, “EFF this job!, Waffle House and kiss my ass!” and out the door she went.
Haha! We just sat there wide-eyed when the cook leaned down through the opening to the kitchen laughing and holding a large metal spatula in his fist and asked us, “Now, how did you want them eggs?”
We looked at him and started laughing, “Anyway you want, Boss Man!”
Things escalated when Patterson became enraged by the customer’s complaints and pulled out the weapon, according to authorities.

That’s it. No tip for you!
A really good egg cook is a pearl beyond price to a diner. Too many cooks are clueless about eggs.
Yeah, we have a nice place to eat like your Blue Plate Cafe, mom and pop place, eggs done right every time, reasonably priced and the only time I pulled my AR on them is the one time my coffee got lukewarm.
You'll take what I give you, and like it!
Lol - diced and capped.
So... no cheese, then?
