  I'm a former Waffle House Maintenance Manager (that's what they call the maintenance man for the area). Something that he didn't mention: Waffle House Maintenance Managers are classified as emergency responders. We had a magnetic sign we would put on our maintenance vans, and we would get through any disaster checkpoints.

  &quot; How well does Waffle House actually treat their employees?&quot;<br>&quot;They will literally fight you for disrespecting the House&quot;

  As a freshman in high school I was DRUNK drunk and so was the driver and everyone I was with. &nbsp;We all rode in one car and the driver was also shitfaced. &nbsp;“Mama”, a beloved and most caring Waffle House employee took the keys and we all slept in booths that night. &nbsp;Probably still here bc of that.

  The “Waffle House Index” was created when the FEMA director visited EF5 devastated Joplin Missouri and the Waffle House was still open with only a reduced menu.

  I saw a crackhead and a Vietnam vet with a prosthetic leg get in a fight at 2am at Waffle House around 2003 or 2004. Wound up with the whole staff grabbing their weapons of choice when the crackhead somehow wound up behind the counter. A bit of a fight happened and then the linebacker looking cook literally picked him up and threw him out of the diner, then started to follow him out. His manager yelled “throw me the apron” at the same time big guy yelled “I quit”. He whooped crackhead’s ass in the parking lot, then came back in and said “can I have my job back?” Manager lady just handed him the apron and they started cleaning up. It was beautiful. I will always go to Waffle House for the free entertainment alone.

  GA natives can never actually die. We just respawn at the last Waffle House we ate at.

  If you havent seen a fight at a waffle house at 3am you havent lived. Bro the hashbrowns smothered and covered just hit different when theres a hint of blood in the air.

  I showed up at a Waffle House in Lexington Ky after the bars closed and they were “carry out only” so the lady was out front with an iPad taking orders. I asked what happened and she nonchalantly said “there was a shooting so they gotta clean up the lobby, but you can still order you just can’t eat inside.”

  As quoted by the former Head of FEMA: &quot;If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That&apos;s really bad...&quot;

  You didn&apos;t mention WHY they stay open! &nbsp;Story time: &nbsp;I worked at an airport here in SW Florida for years. &nbsp;After Hurricane Irma, 7 private jets showed up. 2 of them were full of executives and restaurant staff, the other 5 were full of water and supplies. &nbsp;Those jets flew in and out constantly for a week getting people and supplies in. &nbsp;I asked a guy (turned out to be a VP) why. &nbsp;He said so that the heros putting our town back together, firefighters, police, Linemen, DOT workers, all have a place to get some coffee and a hot meal.&quot; &nbsp;They don&apos;t do it for the money, they do it for the guys putting us back together. &nbsp;As much fuel as we put in those jets, they had to be losing money hand over fist. &nbsp;But they did it for principal and for community! &nbsp;Since that conversation, I&apos;ve had a huge amount of respect for Waffle House.
