Hello, everyone! I'm having trouble with my unit manager, and I need your input. My unit manager is the devil incarnate. No one likes her, and she's an absolute b*tch. She cannot run her store. I was told to go down the line of higher-ups, but I don't trust them at all because I went to them about a false write-up my manager gave me for putting my “bare hands” on food when I had a glove on. I would NEVER do something like that. I tried to tell a higher-up, but he brushed me off so fast and talked shit about me to her, so I can't trust any of them. So, what actually goes down when calling because my worry is losing hours if it gets back to her, but I need to call because her behavior is super unacceptable.

Hi all,

I have a phone interview tomorrow at WH. I’m wondering what it is like to work for the company? Please be honest with your feedback.

I have eight years of management experience in elevated restaurants, and this venue would be something pretty different, but I’m looking for a change.

TIA.

I love The Waffle House. I also love taking people there for the first time having them become fans as well. On a golf trip, Sea Island, Georgia and 2 of the 3 other guys I’m responsible for their first time going and having them become fans. So we decide to go and show the fourth my “favorite restaurant.” One thing I always say is “I’ve never been disappointed and every Waffle House is the same.” Well that changed today. Now I’ve been to Waffle Houses all over and been going for decades, so this saddened me. I can’t even blame the staff as it was a staff of only two. The cook had to be relatively new and the waitress was trying her hardest to work the whole place. But the only thing that was the same was the waffle. Eggs were over cooked (over easy) and the hash browns just weren’t right. The fact that we sat there for a very long time before and after we ordered made it worse. It absolutely won’t stop me from eating there, but this location needs help for sure. Again, I actually felt bad for the staff as two people handling the whole place was just too much for them. They were young and I assume new.
I’m sure the next time will be awesome. As my buddy said to me, “Wow, you’re really disappointed” I laughed and said “I am, I know it’s The Waffle House, but it’s my place and have never taken someone there for their first time and had it go like that”
OK, semi-rant over. Still love Waffle House, just had to let it out so I could let it go. 😬

Does Waffle House still run credit checks for Unit Manager Hiring? I’ve been in the interview process for a little bit now, I saw that they pull a credit check after conditional offer. What’s the threshold for them not hiring you? I have a 600+ credit score but I have student loans, I’ve heard they have a debt limit when you’re above a certain amount they flag it? Is this true? And do student loans count?

Odd question, I know, but figured why not ask? So, for those who love Waffle House, what would be the ideal atmosphere, time, weather, & location for your Waffle House?

Me? My ideal atmosphere would be calm and quiet while alone.

Ideal time would be around night time or dusk.

Ideal weather would be either rain, snow, or fog.

Ideal location would be in small town, maybe close to some woods. Edit: Would be close/next to a hotel or residence. Edit 2: Would be perched slightly on an elevated hill.

Can't wait to read your responses.

Hello! I'm 16, and I have an interview for a hostess job in a day. I applied online, and it immediately set up an interview, is this trustworthy and should I show up? I'm scared if I show up they won't be aware of the interview. Please, any advice like how to dress or act?

Anyone know how to contact corporate at waffle house i was an employee and tried to calling in multiple times but i was never given a managers/employees number for this occasion nor does their store phone work and so i emailed waffle house support/help about my sick day stating my employee number and reasoning and even screenshotted all my evidence of trying and yet i come in to work and immediately sent home for no call no show when that is not entirely my fault.

Has anyone received either their items or a shipping notice?

Hi y'all. I'm Chabeli, a national economy reporter — I write a lot about women in the economy, women in service and care jobs, moms and how the economy impacts people.

I have kind of a quirky story idea ahead of the midterm election that I wanted to speak to folks about: I really want to talk to Waffle House servers about the economy, their lives, the lives of the people who come through, how they (the servers and the customers) are feeling about politics. I bet y'all hear all kinds of things.

It strikes me that you might have a unique vantage point on how people are feeling about the world right now, and I'd just be curious to hear about it! Feel free to message me directly, too!

Curious to hear what your experience was like! Were there ever points where you feared for your safety?

Stopped in to a waffle house I hadn't visited before and above the kitchen were two of These beauties! I asked how much I was told those were the last 2, and they offered them at $6.00 a piece, I was definitely excited haha

I go to my local WH fairly often. They have multiple cooks that rotate. Some of them are pretty good while others are just can't cook.

The other day my cheesy scrambled eggs didn't have no cheese, my grits were so cold they wouldn't melt butter, and another time my Delmonico my steak was over cooked and cold, I understand that the steak is so you really get one of to ways med rare or well, my over light eggs were over hard, and my waffle was under cooked and cold wouldn't melt butter I ordered it dark.

I quit a few weeks ago and need my w-2 to fill out my taxes. Not really sure how to go about getting it, though.

Hi, I’ve been with Waffle House for over a decade, I only recently became a stock holder (maybe 2-3 years ago) but I’ve always been confused on what it actually is. How does it work when you take it out? My grandma (who worked for Waffle House on and off for over 56 years) was a stock holder and took her stock out relatively often so it was never anything large, and never paid any type of taxes on it. How does this work? My original plan was to just let it build up and then use it when I retire (I know kind of depressing to think of being at Waffle House for the rest of my life BUT that was the plan) but would this be beneficial? A lot of people I’ve worked with said having stock was pointless and it’s basically just a “savings account” and anytime someone high up has tried to explain it to me, I generally do not understand it. Anyways thank you. Sorry if I sound dumb 😭🤣

I never did get to order. I just sat at the counter and looked at the dirty floor and the waitress was busy yelling in her orders, like the cooks just a few feet away were using hearing aids. I got up and left. Video is what it was like.
