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.

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!?

[–] passepartout@feddit.org 15 points 3 days ago

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 3 days 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 3 days 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.

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.

[–] night_petal@piefed.social 8 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

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

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

I thought it was funny, so I upvoted

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Could be true but I still love it.

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?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure meth is involved.

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.

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

She got fired for this video, unfortunately. :(

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 days 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

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

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 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Nah probably just a weird coincidence.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 7 points 3 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 3 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.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

Waffle House serves the best breakfast in America, period.

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

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (3 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.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

"You got a criminal background?"

"No"

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

like a movie or TV show.

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

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Waffle House is definitely like Springer.

Springer wishes it were Waffle House

[–] Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

Waffle House: "Sup brah?"

[–] Averagejoe@lemmy.org 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That is a guy who never tried the chili on waffle or chicken and waffles.Β
