Waffle House: Pull up then. 😐

Comments

  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 it really had going.

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

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

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

      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.

    I remember years ago Steak N Shake came out with some promo that was something like “10 meals under $10” and Waffle House responded with I think 15 under $5.

    Once when I was in Indiana I went to a waffle house because I had never been. I wanna say it was late 2023. I think it seemed fairly cheap as far as eating at a restaurant goes but that may have just been because I am not from Indianapolis.

    I remember thinking the food was alright. I’d definitely paid more for worse.

    Yeah it’s pretty sad. Back in high school a bunch of my friends would hang out at the Waffle House sometime between 10pm and 4am several times a week. It was 3.25 for coffee and a waffle. If you forgot your wallet you could usually scrounge under your car seats for change and make it happen. That was about 10 years ago, but man it feels like a whole different time, and just yesterday all at the same time. The cost of everything now makes me sick

    Someone should make a PVP game set in a waffle house.

    Will you be a front worker or kitchen staff ?

    What skills do each get.

    For every 5 hours of play, you level up.

    Or will you be the crack head , the karen, the racist, the drunk , or the guy who slaps his gf in public. ?

    Random assignment each game.

    I’d watch.

      You could probably work with some artists to knock that together in Mugen or something.

      A single-player Final Fight clone would work too, but it would be a handful of small stages: parking lot, inside the diner, and out back by the dumpsters. Destructive scenery and being able to use furniture as weapons would be a big plus. Game/mission types would be king-of-the-hill, time trial, survival mode, and boss rush.

    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 “I’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.

      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

  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.
