Waffle House employees in general are just made differently. The amount of crazies the front of the house workers have to deal with is insane. I used to live by a Waffle House and watching the variety of people enter that place was a show in itself.

Agreed. Law enforcement officers in our country could learn a great deal about conflict resolution by studying Waffle House employees.
This kind of assumes law enforcement is currently failing at something and they are not. The violence and terror they use to enforce order is a large part of their purpose, not an unfortunate failure.
You’re right. My mother, herself a career long LEO, taught me something very early on in life: violence is the ultimate authority in this world. I imagine she learned that from her job.
