Because the Waffle House used to be one of the few options open when clubs let out, they’re usually in towns with a high concentration of people on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum, are usually placed in the main business district of the town, where people from rival neighborhoods are sure to meet up after driving directly from the club while consuming post club intoxicants, and listening to loud, aggressive music that promotes extreme acts of violence over minor trespasses towards people that look, think, act, and dress just like them.
That’s why.
