I don't know why I expected something different from Waffle House. Waffle House waitress pulls gun after robbers threaten restaurant - WSB-TV Channel 2 - Atlanta
This incident is from the end of December, but it just came to my attention. See the hat tip.
Coweta County authorities are looking for three robbery suspects who threatened to shoot everyone inside of a Waffle House.
The robbery happened around 2:30 a.m. Thursday at the restaurant on Highway 29 in Newnan.
Deputies said the robbers gave a note to a waitress that threatened to shoot everyone unless she gave them money.
Instead of getting the money, she got her firearm. The bad guys ran like rabbits.
Coweta County, Georgia is about 35 mile drive southwest of Atlanta.
“For trying to protect their Waffle House and trying to protect their money and to get their money back, they let me go,” she said.
A Waffle House spokesperson told Channel 2’s Matt Johnson that they are aware of the situation, but cannot comment on personnel matters.
The company, like most companies, operates under the assumption that cooperating with criminals ensures safety, which is not true. Who is to say that after they get the money, they could decide they don't want any witnesses.
I hope she found a new job, with someone who appreciates her right to defend herself.

The “no weapons” policy inside an establishment that keeps its doors open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is begging for disaster.
Self-defense is a human right.
