I live in a high COL area, which means services suffer since wagies don't want to work because it's just not worth the commute.

These people know they can't get fired. All fast food around me is in dire straits. Corporate isn't going to increase wages in this location to actually attract competent employees.

It's forced me to get really healthy though, I prepare the food that I'll eat after I get home drunk in advance.

i stopped at a waffle house in the middle of the night while driving from TX to ME nonstop. i don't even remember where i was. somewhere in PA maybe? i was the only one there with my car full of stuff in the parking lot and two black dudes working, one of which was smoking out front the whole time. i got my food and ended up chatting with the guy working there. i ended up with his whole life story, including how he had been sexually abused by at least two older men in his family. try eating your waffles while this guy sheds a tear in front of you. he was a nice guy and his life had been pretty fucked up. he was trying to get right. i'm not sure why people talk to me like this sometimes. i guess a good listener isn't super common. anyways, i love waffle house.

>It's cheap
It's insanely expensive for what it is. Shit like pancake mix, eggs, and breakfast meats are some of the cheapest foods in existence and waffle house gives them an absurd markup, even by restaurant standards. It's made worse by the glaringly obvious fact that they're also spending as little as possible on their staff and décor. They want like $5 for a fucking waffle, like literally ten cents worth of batter. it's insane.

I understand that I'm being overcharged when I eat out but waffle house is so shameless with it that I can only assume that the people who eat there regularly are too retarded to understand.

My nigga I'm a Waffle House DEVOTEE. I've eaten the same thing for literally over a decade: 2 waffles, scrambled eggs with cheese. I go to Waffle House AT LEAST once a month. Last month I went 7. Fucking. Times. and got the same order every. single. time.

2 waffles, 6 eggs scrambled with cheese.

Every time I go on a long drive, I hit up Waffle House. I'm going to Raleigh tomorrow to see my brother. Know what I'm eating at some point during the day? Bingo, Waffle House. I also take a picture every time I go of my plate once I get everything set up. Here's my latest.

The only negative WH experience I ever had was in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I stopped during a long cross-country drive and went in. The whole place was filthy, the staff weren't clearing any of the spots, and there were flies buzzing around over the used plates licking the syrup off them.

Fuck it, I got back in my car and drove off without breakfast. What an absolute shithole of a state Alabama is.

Yeah, let's ignore the cost of labor, capital costs of the kitchen, and the cost of the real estate, not to mention taxes.

If it's more expensive to eat at other restaurants, then as long as they underbid the other places, they are the low cost option -- even if it's "ten cents of batter" instead of fifty cents of dead cow mixed with dead kangaroo grilled up hot and served as a Big Mac.

For me, it's Waffle House. The best chain restaurant. I even ask for extra syrup packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for more butter packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly Waffle House worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local Waffle House restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even pour syrup over my waffles in Waffle House, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

The first time I ever felt the need to lock my doors as I was driving through somewhere was when I drove through Baltimore. The city just looked like one giant slum, with roving gangs of blacks shucking and jiving about in the middle of the street. As you'd get close to them they'd stop and stare at as they slowly moved out of the way. Was like a zombie apocalypse.

Anon...In this sense, it usually means driving a very long distance without "Stopping" overnight in a motel, hotel or campground.
This used to be fairly commonly understood before the Great Gas hike of Desert Shield, when gas was still >.98¢/Gal. in 1991 and people drove long distances much more because of things called "Vacations"
As NO vehicle would take you more than 400 miles,(a roughly 7 hour trip,) on a full tank of gas, and rest stops every few hours for stretching one's legs and using the restroom; No one ever made the retarded assumption that non-stop meant literally not stopping--
