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 customers are probably an interesting mix of crazy street people and Georgia Tech students.

I have been in many Waffle Houses in the Southeast and even out to Tulsa. Atlanta, the home of WH is where I experienced the very worst WH cookery anywhere.

“Candy”…”he”

So confused.


In the South, people get creative with names. "Candy" has not been an exclusive girls name.

"Candy" Cummings is credited with inventing the curveball while playing for the Brooklyn Excelsiors.

The TV character "Candy" Canady was a ranch foreman on Bonanza.

Italians sometimes use what anglos consider to be exclusively girls' names. So, "Sally's Apizza" in New Haven was founded by Salvatore Consiglio.

Why do I have a feeling all these are just nicknames? Both derivative and descriptive.

What counts is the real name. Sal is obviously Salvatore is plainly Sally.

A true example supposedly, would be Ashley. Thought of as girl but apparently mostly boy back long ago (though frankly I’ve seen little evidence).

Marion Morrison was John Wayne's birthname. The great Cleveland running back/linebacker pictured below was Marion Motley.

Candy Franklin doesn't appear to be trans-anything. These sensationalist news reports don't necessarily use the actual birth certificate name, either.

Oh indeed I’m aware.

In the case of Marion, it’s only a homonym. For girls it’s Marian.

Also still used pretty frequently, except almost always hidden by nickname, is Francis. Vs Frances.

I’ve seen the videos. Thin-skinned cooks can be so gross when food is sent back.

That's news to this Marion, and also to my Aunt Marion (not pictured), and to a Marion from the Bronx I once dated.

Oh wow maybe I’m wrong. Unfortunately I don’t know any “M” personally. Just going by what I thought I’ve seen!
