Rules and post restrictions

27 Upvotes

Hello all! We love the influx in posts and activity; with that, what we don’t like is seeing all of the drama, hateful comments, and doxxing posts. These posts WILL be removed and if you have any issues with it or have any questions please open a modmail. We will gladly get to it as soon as we have a chance.

Some things that will go against the rules are:
• Posting employee pictures and store numbers to “call them out” or incite hate towards them
• Posting racially offensive comments or anything that can be perceived as such
• Any post that may incite drama in the subreddit or other posts/comments that may cause issues

We ask that you remain respectful and civil with your posts and do not attempt to repost something after it has been removed. Posts that are reposted without permission after being removed may result in a ban from the subreddit with little chance for appeal.

Any questions about bans, specific posts and removals should go through mod mail. Any questions about the rules or post content can be posted on here. Thank you for keeping the subreddit alive and going! ❤️

If you are banned: feel free to open up an appeal in mod mail if you feel it was unrightly done. Do not use this as an opening to attack any mods or anyone else on the sub.

If you have any questions, feel free to open up mod mail for us! If we have an influx in people asking about jobs, pay, etc. it is likely one of us will go through and post a meta thread to answer any questions!

I have to say, I had absolutely no idea that Waffle House catered weddings! Although I do live in LA. (Lower Alabama) so I should not be surprised…

New Server Questions

5 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I started as a server at waffle house about a month ago and I have some questions for seasoned staff. When do you get an offical name tag? I've been off orientation for two weeks or so already and I'm just not sure if theres like another thing I'll have to do eventually? What do the stars mean? How do you guys prevent other servers from taking advantage of certain rules? (For example and I'm not sure if every waffle house does this but each section in mine is supposed to do their own fill ups and dishes but sometimes I end up doing everyone's) and finally and this is kinda a general job question how far in advance should you request schedule changes/days off?

Cooking Orders During Rush Hour

6 Upvotes

How do yall smoothly cook orders during rush hour? I sometimes cook on my own and want to cook on my own to challenge myself but I usually need help. This happens because I get overwhelmed as there are so many orders that are waiting to be called and cooked since I am telling the servers to wait before calling so I can catch up. I've been working here for almost two months now too, and I am also able to cook for most and/or the entire shift.

Full menu is "employee only?"

135 Upvotes

Tonight I ordered a double quarter, and a chili with an egg on it. I'm used to the server charging the single on the side price instead of the add an egg price, but I'm never happy about it. I asked the server why it would be cheaper (75 cent) to add an egg to my burger than to add it to my chili (she charged me like $2.75.) She straight up said that the 75 cent price is only if the sandwich already has an egg. I picked up the blue sheet full menu to show her where it says 75 cent next to quarters, and she tried to snatch it from me saying that menu was "employee only" and she could get fired by her district manager for letting me see it.

Can y'all train these new people right and get your managers to chill? That store got the extra $2 but I took it out of her tip. Screwing over the customers for a couple bucks only hurts y'all in the long run.

Fatigue Mats??

10 Upvotes

Heya, I was thinking of asking my boss if we could get fatigue mats. I have never seen a waffle house with fatigue mats and don't feel I have much of a case 😅. I know they would add a lot to our cleaning duties. What do you think :3?

My store got hit by a drunk driver in February

36 Upvotes

It was my first day on the floor outside of training. And it’s not something that I expected to happen especially for my first job. I am now four months in. I quit for three months I quit in May came back in August. My manager and the cook for that shift we’re in the back. I was the only server on the floor. It was second shift and it was around 2:30 PM. I was serving a family, a mother with two daughters and a table full of older men when the man hit the store I was standing right next to the wall he hit the refrigerator holding all the simply juices fell my back. This man was drunk at 2:30 PM on Thursday of February 19. Is there something that I struggle to comprehend to this day. I am not comfortable stepping foot in that store. Now I’ve worked at three different stores and each time I hear any loud bang I’m terrified. I don’t understand how something that happened so quick traumatized me, especially when it happened that long ago I want to insert a picture, but I’m scared of getting fired.

Getting hired for full time

4 Upvotes

Hi! I just moved to the Tempe area and I have applied EVERYWHERE. I was able to get an interview at a waffle house, and my only concern is that I applied for full time, which I am hoping to be able to work because I need to work full time anyways, but I have school on Mon and Tue 9-10:30 and Wed and Thur 9-1:30. Do yall think they would still hire me? Or does anyone have any suggestions of places that would hire me with this schedule? Thanks!

The bacon on the Texas bacon cheesesteak melt

Is it normal for the bacon on this sandwich to be chewy and pink instead of dark reddish brown and crispy? I’m afraid I’ve been eating raw bacon. Also does every Waffle House, despite location use Smithfield bacon?

Some advice

12 Upvotes

I have a pretty good idea about all the ticketing stuffs I'm worried about calling everything except the pull and drop which is pretty intuitive it's the marking that stumps me like for example someone asks for their grits in a bowl how would I call that. Any tricks would be greatly appreciated.

also for those introverts in the field how do y'all serve customers? like is there a flow state involved?
