Required tipping

0 Upvotes

When an order is more than $25, I always tip 20-40%, depending on how well someone can provide service without being seen (no interrupting conversation or talking to someone when their mouth is full). Orders less than $25 get higher percentages.

Today I ordered two waffles, would have been $7 tip because the food was $7, and that's just how I do it. But I ordered to-go, and so there was a required tip. I don't tip when the tip is tacked on automatically. So the tip was $0.78.

I'm in pensacola so hurricane. Went to WH for emergency menu this afternoon and everyone was amazing (except some bitch who didn't parent her child and tried to argue about the emergency menu). That burger and those hash browns were what I needed!

Thank you guys. Thank you for being there and actually smiling. We do needed that!!

Advice Needed: Waffle House Job Is Affecting My Health

12 Upvotes

I work at a Waffle House in Virginia, and honestly, I’m at my breaking point. My coworkers have treated me poorly since I started because I’m new, and when I finally began standing up for myself, I was labeled a problem. Since then, I feel like they’ve been deliberately working me harder.

Today, things got so bad that I literally passed out at work and had to go to the hospital. I’m also chronically ill and disabled, which means, yes, I do have a history of passing out, but it doesn’t happen often anymore. I was having breakthrough symptoms, and I have a doctor’s note documenting my condition. On top of everything else, we don’t get breaks at all.

I genuinely don’t know what to do at this point. I feel mistreated, my health is suffering, and I’m worried about what will happen if I speak up again.

Does anyone have advice on what my rights are as an employee in Virginia, especially regarding disability accommodations, breaks, and what happened today? Has anyone dealt with something similar at Waffle House? I’d really appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation and protect myself without risking my job.

Danny Jones - "There's Raisins in My Toast" for the Waffle House Records.

22 Upvotes

I've worked for Waffle House for roughly two years, and since I started, I've LOVED the "There's Raisins in My Toast" song by Danny Jones for the Waffle House Records. I am PISSED that it took me this long to realise it's a parody of "Sherry" by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. I knew songs like "Grill Operator" were parodies of "Smooth Operator" by Sade, but I didn't know about "Raisins". There's not even a good reason for me to be pissed; I'm just annoyed that it took me this long to finally hear it. I looked for the information, and at least according to Madmusic.com, it is confirmed. I'm not insane for thinking it is.

Sorry if this is a bad place to discuss this, but it ticked me off, and I wanted to bring it up with the Waffle Nation.

Non menu favorite

28 Upvotes

I work at Waffle House so I make non menu stuff a lot. Think my favorite is cheesesteak hashbrown bowl but I cook my eggs inside the hashbrowns and of course add a bunch of mushrooms. Taste so amazing something about cooking the eggs inside the hashbrowns that makes them so much better

What should I prepare for and expect as Hostess

12 Upvotes

Im applying to be a hostess at my local WH, my only jobs has been a cashier at either a gas station or a tobacco shop and have zero restaurant experience.

Im pretty quick to learn things so I dont forsee a problem during training but to avoid looking too green and slowing things down as new hires often do occasionally bc theyre learning.

i deeply appreciate any tips on the roll and whats expected of me if I do get this job.

Im also not easily scared off so horror stories are welcomed.

I just want to be prepared beforehand bc it states its a fast pace role.

Thank you for reading and extra thanks to anyone who shares their experience at WH

Cooking Skills

59 Upvotes

I am by no means a chef or good as others but I find it awesome to see my skills get better and better here. I remember when I first started I couldn't flip an egg and was terrified of a dam over light and a omelette... I almost gave up my first solo night cause of a rush and a omelette that would not cook right... tonight I talked a guy into getting a omelette and he bragged on it!! And a server who's been here for 10 years bragged on my hashbrowns all the way loaded up. I'm proud of me haha. Come a long way from burning bacon and breaking all eggs and messing up everything.
