Waffle House Wars

Life in Tennessee is never without drama. This article, from today's Tennessean, needs no commentary:

JOHNSON CITY — Bart Hoard's desire for a little milk has spilled over into a five-year dispute with a Waffle House restaurant.

Hoard describes himself as a loyal, two-decade-long Waffle House customer who was driven to demonstrate with a handmade sign last week over an escalating conflict that began when he simply asked for some milk to put in his coffee.

As Hoard tells it, he was told that if he wanted milk he would have to pay for a full glass. He responded by going to a nearby market, buying a carton of milk and coming back to needle Waffle House franchise executive Andy Mount with the well-known tag line: "Got milk? I do."

It gets better.
