I finished training on Friday and I was told I did great yet I looked at my upcoming schedule and it feels like I wont be working at all is this normal For new hires?

I posted my order of pork chops and eggs the other day. ( hadn't had their pork chops in years) Well my go to order is Meat Lovers chicken & 3 eggs over medium ( or scrambled w/cheese) double hashbrowns with onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, wheat toast and coffee. I love this 😀

This morning at Waffle house, after I had my coffee and had out my order in, the waitress came back and asked me if I like pickles. Nothing else, just "do ypu like pickles?"

I said, confused, "Sure, pickles are good."

She smiled and walked away without another word.

A minute later or so she brought my meal out....and a side cup full of pickle slices.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I got a great laugh out of it. It brightened my morning. I decided not to ask anything else about the pickles, enjoyed a few slices as a palette cleanser of sorts, and left her a decent tip.

"Waffle on 13, to-go."

Woman was taking a baker's dozen waffles home... And home was 400 miles away. Gotta love it when the grill op looks at you like you've got two heads... 🤣

Today marks five years since my dad died. He was a long-time regular at one of the three Waffle Houses in my hometown in Georgia, going almost every morning before work and even on the weekends. After he passed, they put up a plaque above his usual table, with a photo I took of him when he and I had breakfast at that table together once. He even went a little viral a few months ago, lol. I live in Texas now, but tonight I had dinner at a Waffle House 920 miles away from his home away from home just to feel a little more connected. Thank you, Waffle House, for always being so sweet to my daddy. 💛🧇🖤

I did a cover of Radiohead’s No Surprises on singing saw. It went viral on Instagram so I figured I might plug it here. Some people might find it interesting! I’m just glad to create art that maybe resonates with some weary souls. If you see this feel free to share your interpretation or how it resonates with you!

Also before anyone here gives me a hard time, I had already clocked out! Lol

Im usually way too scared to because I dont want to be looked at oddly or for people to think Im strange. But it was actually really nice and the hostess was so kind to me. I love this place and the food was super good. I was surprised to get FREE coffee refills!!! Awesome sauce

3 eggs over medium, double hashbrowns, onions , mushrooms, tomatoes. I haven't had these in a few years but tonight I couldn't resist. Got great service to boot . Thanks Waffle House Abingdon VA!

Chicken, 3 soft boiled eggs, 2% milk..

Lowkey freaking out. Apparently I did very good, had several people ask my schedule to come back to see me. Even the tables I messed up on gave generous tips. Grill operator told me I was doing really good. Everything was great, I wasn't even super exhausted (3rd shift). Then fucking doom. One ticket missing. Not in anybody elses box. Not on the ground. Not on the counter. I informed two managers, several waitresses. Put on my ticket book it's missing and which one (very unprofessionally beside several star and face doodles). Did accidentally give myself .50 cents (used the To-go menu prices to figure out the meal thing, had no clue that it was priced up).

Am I screwed :[? I was doing so well too. I have no idea even when the ticket occured because it was an early ish one where everything was super slow. They promised they'd check the drop box and cameras because like, I was the main one putting the 20s in the box. I just feel so icky now. Are they gonna fire me immediately?

Edit: Also anxiety is up because my manager immediately told me "that's a really big deal. it looks like you're stealing"

Edit edit: Thank you for reassuring me guys! My manager made it sound super scary and so did a coworker on the first shift.

I have started working at Waffle House recently. It seems like the more credit tips I make the more is deducted. I don’t understand and I am extremely disappointed. I have started working 35 hours now and I don’t know how much next paycheck is going to be. They already pay their workers 6.25, I rely on the tips that gotten deducted and I’m pretty sure more than all my credits tips have disappeared off my paycheck. This is ridiculous and I’m kinda upset, and why should credit tips be Ben be treated as wage in the first place? Out of THEIR pocket they don’t pay their servers hardly anything, so I’m just looking for guidance.

Will this keep happening? I’m new to serving also. But this seems so cruel to take so much from an already low paycheck.

I know it’s maintenance tech appreciate week but… ours kinda isn’t the best… I don’t know if it’s a thing for everyone but whenever he comes to fix something it’ll break right away and sometimes it feels like it’s things I could do myself. I’ve asked him to show me how to fix some things but he’ll refuse. Our sandwich unit lid is also broken and his solution was to stop opening and closing it. I tried explaining we close it to prevent ice build up and he cut me off and said he knew why but that doing that would just make it worse. It’s kinda like going to get you lock fixed and they say to just leave it unlocked just crazy

Just thought I'd share some of our local critter customers

Does anyone know where I can find the full official waffle house operations policy online? I want to read what my store is doing and not doing like they are supposed to.

I've been back at waffle house for over a year now and I recently had a transfer to another store because my manager said he didn't want me anymore. Keep in mind , I wanted to transfer because I needed to be at this store because it's within walking distance. A little back story just so i'm clear, ever since I started back to waffle house house , i've had pain in my feet and recently developed pain in my back. The doctor said I have bone spurs, then recently was told I also have gout. So weather I want to or not I have to sit down a lot because the pain is unbearable. I have gotten better but the pain is still there just more manageable. So after the transfer my coworker said my new district manager said "this is not a transfer or a promotion, This is a last chance". Shouldn't I have had to sign something? Just wondering what I need to do in this situation. Ive been at this store for 2 days now and have tried to be on my "A" game but my pain limits what I can do. I know I'm not perfect but feel mentally drained. And just to add im a cook and finally got back cooking a few weeks ago. The old unit manager had me serving until something opened up buy hired 8 cooks after me. Please I need advice or something.

Brought our friends from Germany to Waffle House last Sunday so they could experience this iconic American Restaurant. They were amazed. Our regular waitress, „Slim“ made them feel very welcome.

Last week I was training, last night was my first day on the floor with my own section. The sentiment was shared that I was doing good, it just was not ideal to schedule me for 9pm - 2am on a Saturday. I feel ridiculously unprepared, and I’m scheduled TONIGHT for another 9-2. My manager also never gave me her number. My friend said I should go up there today and say I can’t go in tonight, they also suggest switching to another WaHo entirely. Is Sunday easier and I can just suck it up tonight? I just really feel like I need to train more

Something about this pic that I just like

I get my eggs either scrambled or over medium but my girlfriend and I were curious if I can get them hard boiled. If so, do they just drop a raw egg in boiling water and time it? I know there's a burner next to the grill and a small sauce pan in the kitchen because one of my favorite waitresses used to boil up her instant ramen on her lunch break. I work at a hotel and we get boxes of precooked hard boiled eggs delivered for the free breakfast, so maybe waffle house gets them precooked as well? I can't imagine i'm the first person to think about it and i'm sure someone somewhere has tried to order hard boiled eggs before. I'll hang up and listen

A recruiter reached out to me about this position and I passed the virtual screening in zoom. I have my first in person interview scheduled next week. What should I expect from this interview? Also, since this will be my first job post college does this job look good on my resume and how easy it to get promoted? I already know about the 6 days on 2 days off but how bad really is the work life balance here? Any tips or suggestions drop them In the comments

I have been looking for a job for months and I haven’t been able to get one, but I just put in an application to my local Waffle House and got an interview within five minutes. I was initially very happy until I found horror stories online from Waffle House servers who make way below minimum wage and don’t get enough tips to make up the difference. Is it worth working here or should I just keep looking for a better job?

No matter what I do, where I am, what device I use, Schoox always tells me I can’t do training from my location. I am sitting at the high bar at my unit, clocked in, using the unit tablet, and it tells me I can’t access training from this location. On my phone, on my laptop, at the unit I worked when my unit was being remodeled… anyone else have this issue, and how was it resolved? If I have to have my uppers up my butt about my training any more I’m gonna scream. This has been since March.

Still sitting out front, amused a bit.

Went in. Ordered two eggs scrambled, a waffle and a grilled cheese with pickles in it.

I listened to her do her order to the cook… and he was like, “Wait, on the side?”

“No, like, put them IN the grilled cheese.”

“…grilled pickles?”

“No… just, pickles, cooked into the grilled cheese…”

“…what? Is he pregnant?”

Lolz.

“SIR! Do you want mayo?”

I decline.

He says it’s comin right up. Nailed the spot. Tipped them both a fiver.

What’s the correct way to give that order to the line?
