Waffle House quality is probably fine. I wouldn't know, I was always drunk when I was taken there...

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The staff was always under the influence when you were there so evens stevens I guess.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I love waffle House. Its one of my favorite places to eat.

I don't even need a menu.

I'm also morbidly obese I don't know if those two things have anything in common.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Nah probably just a weird coincidence.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who rips on waffle house hasn't been tired, hungry, possibly hungover, and had $10 in their pocket. Eat like a king, bottomless coffee, and no frills food. I'll take waffle house over Denny's any day.

[–] SoloPhoenyx@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

And the vastly underrated experience of being left the hell alone while you're eating. None of this pretentious bullshit of having a server coming around every five minutes checking on you like you're a toddler.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

Waffle House serves the best breakfast in America, period.

Even Anthony Bourdain was amazed at how great Waffle House is.

Cash me ouside, how bout dat?

This just pops into my head randomly sometimes, and I'll say it out loud to myself and chuckle

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

The smell of bleach and feet makes the experience just that much better.

Waffle House has raised their overall prices by 96% since 2020. Hash browns increased by 110% and coffee went from $1.80 to $3.15. At one point, they added a $0.50 cent surcharge per egg due to the shortages caused by the avian flu.

It’s easy and cheap to make breakfast at home with 50% less grease. Waffle House ain’t cheap anymore and that’s all they really had going.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 74 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover or coming down from your actual destination?

Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?

What if you run over a waffle, that looks like a pancake?

Remaining use cases for Waffle House are drunk fights and measuring the scale of natural disasters / catastrophic events, see Waffle House Index.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Honestly, I like Waffle House. I am also not getting massive meals when I go. My kids get Waffles and Bacon, I get a Bacon Egg and Cheese. Our whole bill is maybe 20 bucks, which after materials and the time involves isn't much more than at home.

No one really goes to Waffle House on purpose.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Last time I went to Waffle House was for a quick breakfast on my way to buy my girlfriend Plan B.

On your way? Should have just asked, I bet someone at the waffle house could have sold it to you.

What do they even have to gain from that, hucking chairs at underpaid employees that are just trying to cook breakfasts for people? Who even shows up to a Waffle House, all β€œI’m gonna make sure to get some felonies before I’m done eating,” and just not even backing down?

Poor executive control and possibly substances. Consider the dark side of ADHD where "fight" is the go-to response after getting overwhelmed, scared, provoked, or just too tired to think straight. It's straight dysfunction to be sure, but many of us were blessed with other default responses to adrenaline and bad executive function.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure meth is involved.

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That chair redirect was amazing. You know after taking that beating she was in full time dilation.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

She got fired for this video, unfortunately. :(

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

WH doesn’t deserve an employee this dedicated. I hope she went on to better things like security or setting fire to the bourgeoisie… any job that lets her throw down from time to time.

I'd love to know why this shit kicked off, but I think "Waffle house fight" will have waaay too many results to find the motivations behind THIS SPECIFIC one.

Also, I love the "Careers? Text WAFFLE to 123456" as if this is a stealth recruitment drive

[–] Tehhund@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Good I love that video. It looks like some jedi shit the way she caught that chair.

This is advertising. Cute posts from corporate accounts are there for no reason other than creating brand awareness. You reposted advertising.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

I thought it was funny, so I upvoted

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

While true, people still want to talk about shared experiences, and this is one of them.

Waffle House: "Sup brah?"

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A few years back, I had a GF from South Carolina. We have one Waffle House here where I live, but it's a half-hour drive away so I'd never been. She insisted we go, and now I fucking love Waffle House. It's like a full step back in time, and one step to the left. I think the employees must need to audition for the job, like a movie or TV show.

like a movie or TV show.

Last one I went to, the staff were singing together while they cooked. It was phenomenal.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's more like a battle royale. 10 job applicants enter. Last one standing gets the job. No other education or experience necessary.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

"You got a criminal background?"

"No"

"Well, if you do well enough we might be able to look past that"
