I just had Waffle House for the first time while in Galveston, and the the biggest impression I have about the layout of the place is how cramped certain areas are, especially near the entrance/exit. The bar/counter seating and register is directly across and to the left of the doorway, creating a long, somewhat narrow aisle leading to the rest of the restaurant. It would be very easy to be trapped in there with no good escape route and lots of people between you and a robber. It seemed like a really bad place to be if someone came in and started shooting. You wouldn't be able to get a clear shot, and everyone is lined up like ducks in the rows of bar stools and booths. I'm not sure if this is the way all Waffle Houses are laid out, but it seems like the few I have gone by have a similar setup.
