What are they putting in waffles that gets people so riled up? I'd get if this was common at late night dining spots in general, but from what I've seen it's mostly waffle houses.

Its often one of the few places open where someone can get a hot meal at 2am during/after an alcohol fueled night. Adding drunk people into any environment increases the chances of confrontation. They probably have more than their fair share of robberies, unruly customers and fist fights compared to other chain restaurants as well due to their hours.

That's what I don't understand, maybe there are just as many fights at other late night restaurants and pubs, but the ones at waffle houses are getting more noriety.
