Even before the rampage, which also left four people wounded, it was not hard to find accounts of other Waffle House shootings. In 2011, four men who regularly ate together at a Waffle House in Georgia were arrested, accused of plotting attacks on government buildings. Waffle House jukeboxes play in-house hits like “There Are Raisins in My Toast,” but the restaurant’s soundtrack is really clanging dishware and servers shouting orders to grill cooks. Waffle House has 0.6 percent. But statistics and numbers rarely seem to matter at Waffle House.
