Just another day in the Goober Nation.... Waffle House server killed after asking customer to put out cigarette Nov. 28, 2015 Updated 1:43 p.m. View slideshow A Biloxi police vehicle sits outside the Waffle House on U.S. 90 in Biloxi, Miss., after an early-morning shooting over a cigarette on Friday, Nov. 27, 2015, left a server dead and a suspect in custody. JEFF CLARK , TNS By Margaret Baker and Jeff Clark / TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE BILOXI, Miss. – She was shot in the head because she asked somebody not to smoke. The 52-year-old Waffle House server was just doing her job and enforcing the no smoking policy at the franchise in the 2400 block of U.S. 90 when she was shot by a customer she told to put out a cigarette. She had already given eight years of her life to the business as one of their beloved servers. And she spent some of the last moments of her life asking customers if they had enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday. “Our associates are in shock over the whole incident,” said Pat Warner, vice president of Waffle House’s corporate office in Atlanta. “It’s a senseless tragedy. We lost a very good associate who was loved by her co-workers and her customers. I’ve been with Waffle House for 16 years and don’t recall anything like this. You really can’t describe how you feel.” Biloxi police Sgt. Donnie Dobbs said the customer, Johnny Max Mount, 45, is accused of fatally shooting her around 1 a.m. Friday after he fired up a cigarette inside the business. Police said Mount was still inside the restaurant when police believe he pulled out a 9 mm handgun and shot the woman. She died a short time later at Merit Health Biloxi. She had a single gunshot wound to her head. Biloxi police arrested Mount as he was walking out of the restaurant.
