An early-morning customer at a Waffle House in Macon, Ga., asked for barbecue sauce. Waffle House doesn’t have barbecue sauce, the waitress told him. “I wouldn’t [expletive] ask you if I didn’t know you had it!” the man screamed. “I’ll go to [expletive] jail over some barbecue sauce!” The outburst “caused the employees and customers to fear for their safety,” the resulting sheriff’s report notes. Deputies say Willie Edward Drake, 43, was “uncooperative and disorderly,” and was arrested. An enterprising reporter called the restaurant to ask if Waffle House had barbecue sauce. The answer was no. The reporter called the jail with the same question. “We stay with the basics on condiments,” said Bibb County Sheriff David Davis, and only offer “mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise.” (RC/Macon Telegraph) ...Which aren’t good on waffles either.
