When somebody has a dispute with a customer service representative, you normally expect things get a little heated. However, you don't really expect to escalate past that...so when it does, it's disarming.

Sometimes, it's literally disarming.


Candy Franklin, from Atlanta, Georgia said a Waffle House employee pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head after he had a simple complaint about his eggs.

Franklin was flabbergasted after a food dispute nearly turned deadly.

"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."
"I tipped her and everything. It was all a normal dispute over food. I never in a million years thought it would come to gun violence."






Next thing Franklin knew, people were running out the door:

"I was looking down at my food making sure it was right and that's when I just saw people running. I look up and she had the gun pointed at me."
"I didn't think she would shoot then she cocked it back. So, I was like maybe she is about to do something. Now, it's time for me to turn into Rambo and get out of there."






Franklin added he'd been shot before and recently lost his brother to gun violence.

A representative of Waffle House has yet to comment other than the company received an official complaint and is launching an investigation into the employee.






Aside from the incident leaving Franklin a little "scrambled," no one was ultimately harmed in the otherwise scary incident.

"No more waffle house for me," Franklin joked.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.
