Waffle House Refused to Serve an Armed, Uniformed U.S. Soldier!

sailor was guarding nuclear weapons

Not with a side arm, any weapon he had been using would have been turned in at the end of shift. Military does not allow service members to carry off base unless they are on maneuvers or we are actually at war. Might have changed, but that's the way I understand it.

Not like I needed ANOTHER excuse never to go into a Waffle house.

What, you don't like watching the roaches crawling around on the walls?

When I was in the Navy, back in the late 80's to early 90's, I recall seeing Shore Patrol in uniform with sidearms off base, but that was the only people in uniform I ever saw carrying off base.

Yes. Those stories pop up from time to time also.

Our Waffle Houses employ off duty officers during the overnight hours, so I'd imagine they'd serve them too. However, I've never eaten at one on duty.

Disappointing response by both corporate and this location.
