KFC 

A man who was shot in the parking lot of a KFC restaurant in Durham, NC back in 2013 returned the next day to thank the employees who called 911. Employees say the shooting victim fell to the floor saying he had been shot in the leg and that his wound was burning. He claimed the shooting was a misunderstanding between friends.

Denny’s 

A bleeding man stumbled into a Denny’s restaurant asking for help moments after a shooting in San Pablo, CA back in 2015. A surveillance camera captured two people walking into the restaurant after one had been shot. The uninjured man then abandoned the shooting victim, who begged him, “Can you please don’t go?” and, “Call my baby mana at least,” but the uninjured man said “No, I have to go,” and he ran away.
