In a Facebook post, Police accused the man of passing a note to a Waffle House waitress demanding money at the chain’s Lawrenceville Highway location in Tucker.
The note allegedly read “pass all the money,” authorities said.
After reading the note, the server ran from the register and the man fled the restaurant without getting any cash, police said.
Detectives have since linked him to similar robbery attempts at other Waffle Houses, a CVS, a Walgreens, a Dollar General and a PNC bank, authorities said.
