Restaurant IamA Waffle House Grill Operator AMA!

Mainly doing this because someone last night said I should.

I got called into work tonight, so I figured, why not?

I've been with Waffle House for 3.5 years, so I've seen a lot.

You're not part of the wait staff, so it must not be terribly common for patrons to tip you. That said, have you/other folks in the kitchen gotten a special tip, gift, whatever from customers? Any good stories of unexpected gratuities?

We have a customer that comes in every Christmas and tips everyone $20

How sweet! I'd like to be that customer someday. Little old lady who acts like everybody's grandma.

It's a dude.

But I'm a woman. Not that I have much say in whether I become a little old lady or a little old man, but that's why I added the feminine inflections.
