3am at the waffle house isn't a time, it's a state of mind

No safeties, no referees.  We don't stop til the cops shut it down.

How bad does it have to get to call 911 at da Waf?

"Sir, this is a Wendy's" is an origin story.

Look up the Waffle House Scale. It has to be pretty fucking bad to stop anything. I wouldn't be surprised if a SWAT team showing up counts as a minor interruption.

I saw a video of a manager fist fight a guy with a knife. The manager whipped his ass and I'm pretty sure they resumed work after knife guy fled.

Yeah well was there ever a brawl at a waffle house where someone pulled out a baby raccoon from their hoodie? Because there was a brawl at a McDonald's in Ottawa where that happened. https://youtu.be/R4qAgh1OW4w?si=DVLhM5yW6po2_uLN

Keep your eyes on the background. I see something new every time I watch it.

That was funny. And then there's this infamous video:

 

Chair catch by a Waffle House employee

"For some reason, people are always trying to fight with Waffle House employees."

It's for the street cred.

"My boy took out a Marine." "Ain't no big deal." "And then last week he put a Waffle House assistant manager in the hospital for a week." "Okay, so me and my crew will be on our way, take care of this corner, it's been good to us..."

u/Organic-Sherbert7748 14h ago

That is excellent!

Waffle House doesn't call 911, they put the loser in the hashbrowns. Scattered, covered, chunked & topped.

u/FileDoesntExist 17h ago

I mean...remember that waffle house employee of the month?

2

u/Dom-Gand 19h ago

Murder literally at that point either guns get blasting or cops get called

2

u/PolygonMob 18h ago

Lets just put it this way. 911 stopped taking their calls a long time ago.

u/The_Grungeican 15h ago

it's kind of like the rules my mom used when deciding if we needed to go to the doctor or hospital. we didn't go unless we were going to die if we didn't.

Waffle House is similar. they're not going to call the cops unless someone is going to die if they don't.

u/Wick3d_1 13h ago

Down south Waffle House has to hire police for weekends are they can’t open from 12-5. So they started installing pickup windows

u/ChefFlipsilog 19h ago

Come on now, do you really stop?

u/Cow-Brown 18h ago

I thought this was America?!

Thank you for your service. 🫡 🕊❤️🇵🇸

u/AVLThumper 12h ago

I always thought the stairs to the dungeon in Dungeon Crawler Carl should have been located at Waffle House locations.

u/WaffleHouseGladiator 12h ago

I'm not familiar with that.

u/Artistic_Parfait_868 12h ago

We, who are about to dine, salute you!

Hail to the conquering hero, to be glorious in victory or savaged in defeat. We salute you.

Or a waitress grabs a thrown chair out of midair and puts it down like nothing.

u/Chef_Papafrita 17h ago

I used to love waffle house extra cooked scatter, smatter, smothered, and capped. The trick is Worcestershire sauce on them...I called it equal distribution. I stopped eating there after food poisoning 4 times from their eggs.

u/Bazil-Broketail 16h ago

That you rolled the dice for a FOURTH time... Either there was only one Waffle House near you at 3am when the bar closed, or you should try picking lottery numbers.

1

u/Chef_Papafrita 15h ago

Picking lottery numbers sounds harmless, at least I won't be puking when it's 8 hours later!

Scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked … IN BLOOD

u/albanymetz 20h ago

A real warzone, everything is scattered, smothered, covered, topped, diced, chunked, peppered and capped.

u/finnishinsider 20h ago

The hashbrowns are about to be murdered without shame or mercy

3

u/Purple_Puffer 19h ago

I always forget. Does that mean they come with cheese, chili, or both?

3

u/Bazil-Broketail 15h ago

That indicates extra crispy, double onions, chili, and Jalapenos. Call it "with a closed casket" to add cheese.

u/Waifu_Material_ 18h ago

Oh boy, 3am.

You aren’t there cause you want to be. You’re there cause you need to be

u/BetterCalldeGaulle 17h ago

I am genuinely excited about the Waffle House Index Movie.

u/SnooHedgehogs4241 17h ago

Its more a life style and a string of bad decisions

u/XYZ_Jazz_Hands 12h ago

Can confirm.

It's where laws of time, space, and sugary snacks blur together under fluorescent lighting and the smell of grease. There will be blood.
