Speaker F:So who's cooking?
Speaker B:Who's.
Speaker F:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:I do them both.
Speaker B:We all do they both.
Speaker C:Well, yeah, she do both.
Speaker E:It seems like everyone has to be trained in everything when you get hired at Waffle House, like y'all have to do everything.
Speaker C:You don't have to, but if you want to make more money, you will.
Speaker E:Okay, all right, well, let's go ahead and get to it, man.
Speaker E:We got some questions and I know y'all got some answers.
Speaker E:It's funny because, you know, every time I go into Waffle House and I sit down, it seemed like y'all just be cutting up.
Speaker E:Like y'all having your own conversation.
Speaker E:Y'all.
Speaker E:Is there a protocol when someone walks through the door of Waffle House of y'all supposed to greet or do something?
Speaker C:You're supposed to greet, hi, welcome to Waffle House.
Speaker B:Hello, how you doing?
Speaker E:Yeah, so you gotta say, hi, welcome to Waffle House.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker E:And if you don't do it, what happens?
Speaker B:Nothing.
Speaker D:I mean, if you really not greeting, it's really.
Speaker B:Cause I mean, it's not that we not trying to greet you.
Speaker B:It be just be we in the midst of a conversation, you walk in, we might not notice you, but it's always tight on.
Speaker B:Cause when we go to the table, we still greet you again.
Speaker E:Now, all Waffle Houses are built the same, correct?
Speaker E:Has, Is there, is there, is there, is there a Waffle House that's built.
Speaker B:That'S built different because some of them.
Speaker D:Are done, some left to right.
Speaker C:Also it's a left handed store and a right handed store.
Speaker B:Are you serious?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker E:I've only seen the left handed store where the window is to the left.
Speaker E:I've never seen the other way.
Speaker D:Yeah, it's really backwards.
Speaker D:It's really weird.
Speaker C:The whole dynamic of the store is backwards.
Speaker C:So it feels completely different in the inside.
Speaker D:Like the stove, I mean the, like the freezer with a meat and everything on this side and then the hash brows and all that stuff on this side.
Speaker D:So like, you know, when you came to our store, the hash miles on this side to meet on this side, it's like flipped.
Speaker D:So it's really weird.
Speaker E:Interesting.
Speaker B:Yeah, but that's in most older stores.
Speaker E:There's no big ass Waffle House out there though.
Speaker B:N.
Speaker B:Damn.
Speaker F:So I eat at Waffle House all the time, right.
Speaker F:Every time I order the Philly cheesesteak, right?
Speaker F:They never put the pickles like, on the picture.
Speaker F:Why is that?
Speaker C:Because I'm about to put it.
Speaker C:I'm gonna be real with you, bro.
Speaker C:Like, sometimes the pickles soak up the bread, make the bread soft.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:And then some people don't want pickles at all on their plate.
Speaker C:Now, if you want pickles, that's all.
Speaker F:You gotta say is, I'll be asking for extra pickles.
Speaker F:And they just.
Speaker C:Are they supposed to give you a whole couple pickles on the side?
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker F:They never do it.
Speaker F:And I have to remind them every time.
Speaker F:I mean, this happens every time because.
Speaker D:Some of the cooks is just like, we cook it so much, you might not get the pickles.
Speaker D:Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:Because, like he said, most people don't want them.
Speaker D:So it'd be like, if I put all the pickles, then you're gonna be like, dang, I don't want this.
Speaker D:And then remake it.
Speaker D:So some people just won't put them on there unless you ask.
Speaker D:Like, your server had to be like, you want the pickles?
Speaker D:And then we'll give them to you.
Speaker A:How do y'all fight the stigma that everybody that work at Waffle House is ugly?
Speaker D:I don't have that problem.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker B:I don't have that problem.
Speaker B:I don't have that problem.
Speaker C:Like when they say the servers be missing teeth and all that.
Speaker B:We got all our.
Speaker B:I ain't worried about that.
Speaker B:So I don't care.
Speaker E:Y'all are fairly young to be working a waffle.
Speaker E:There's normally like a.
Speaker E:Like a old people's like, you gotta.
Speaker B:Be like, nah, we got.
Speaker D:When we work, you gotta have some sauce.
Speaker D:It's up to speed.
Speaker B:You feel me?
Speaker D:You got young people.
Speaker D:You got, like.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:You gotta really.
Speaker B:We're not gonna give up the location, but we do work at one of the busy Waffle House Second busy Waffle House in dfw.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker A:So what happens when somebody comes in and orders something that they done just made up?
Speaker A:Like when you see something on TikTok and they.
Speaker D:Waffle House sandwich.
Speaker C:Yeah, I did.
Speaker B:So with the Waffle House sandwich.
Speaker B:We do not make Waffle House sandwiches.
Speaker B:We don't.
Speaker B:It's not on the menu.
Speaker D:It's not on the menu.
Speaker D:But it depends on your service.
Speaker B:It depends on your service if they.
Speaker D:Want to do it.
Speaker B:And you have to tip your cook.
Speaker B:We do not have to make that.
Speaker B:That's only right for them.
Speaker B:They're going out their way to make that.
Speaker B:You feel me?
Speaker G:So I have a question about the Waffle House website.
Speaker D:All right.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker G:So, of course, I don't know if this is every Waffle House, but from my knowledge, you have to go online to order your food now.
Speaker G:Like, you can't just call and be like, yeah, I'm trying to, but the website is very, like, limited.
Speaker G:Like, if I just want cheesy eggs, I can't just order that.
Speaker G:Or if I want to change my toast from regular toast to Texas toast.
Speaker G:It's so limited.
Speaker G:Why is that?
Speaker G:Like, why is it, like, you got seven options?
Speaker G:It's either that or nothing.
Speaker B:Honestly, I never even seen the Waffle House website to order the men.
Speaker B:Honestly, I never just went on there.
Speaker D:It's a new thing that they just.
Speaker B:Did because, like, when they started the window, they started that online thing.
Speaker B:So where they.
Speaker B:So y'all wouldn't have to call in.
Speaker B:Cause it'd be busy.
Speaker B:So busy where we.
Speaker B:When y'all call?
Speaker D:Nah, people will call, order food, and never come get it.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:So if you be like, I want a T bone sirloin now.
Speaker D:I can either gamble, I can make it.
Speaker D:But if I don't make it, then you actually come.
Speaker D:You gonna be like, why my food not ready?
Speaker D:But then you got them people who change their mind.
Speaker D:But if you pay for it already, you gonna come.
Speaker D:You see what I'm saying?
Speaker D:Cause you didn't spent your bread.
Speaker D:So Waffle House basically spent their bread.
Speaker C:And still come get it.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:Nah, I'm not doing none of that.
Speaker D:We got too many homeless people I can get at.
Speaker D:I ain't lying.
Speaker B:They beg all night.
Speaker G:Yeah, y'all should go check out that website.
Speaker D:I never looked, though, because like I.
Speaker C:Said, I'm a cook, and I look at the receipts and, like, sometimes some people will order a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and then order a side of grits.
Speaker C:And then you look at it and, like, why don't just put this together?
Speaker C:But I'm obviously.
Speaker C:I'm thinking, like, obviously, it's the website that's doing this, and it's separating everything.
Speaker C:So I'm gonna check it out.
Speaker C:I'm gonna see what you talk about.
Speaker G:Cause basically, like, say, like, you get, like, an all star and you want.
Speaker B:To add an egg.
Speaker D:You can't do that.
Speaker G:There's no option for you to just get eggs anywhere on the website.
Speaker D:That's crazy.
Speaker C:That is crazy.
Speaker A:That's a corporate complaint.
Speaker B:Hey, you feel me?
Speaker B:Hey, look, give them a year or.
Speaker D:Two, they might fix you.
Speaker B:We have no.

Speaker C:You can get hasbrowns.
Speaker C:Agree.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:You got three different types of toast to shoes from, like, three or four different types of meat.
Speaker C:So it all depends.
Speaker C:Like, you can vary it a thousand.
Speaker B:Ways, and it depends how your imagination is at that point.
Speaker C:I had a dude from Zeus network, like, from the baddies.
Speaker C:I had a dude from Zeus network come in and get 10 scrambled cheese eggs.
Speaker C:It's like a whole damn plate.
Speaker E:That's smart.

Speaker B:No, that's hurting.
Speaker D:But he was big, though.
Speaker C:Yeah, he was big.
Speaker C:Guys.
Speaker C:That's a big guy.
Speaker G:Now with the All Star, you know, you usually could choose between, like, bacon, sausage, and ham.
Speaker D:Yeah, right.
Speaker B:Why?
Speaker B:Why?
Speaker G: It's: Speaker G:Why y'all don't put chicken on that list?
Speaker G:There's a lot of people that don't.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker B:So look, you got chicken and eggs, so you gotta get your waffle.
Speaker B:What menu?
Speaker D:I've never seen.
Speaker B:No, listen, we got it.
Speaker B:But, you know, Waffle House that have their own.

Speaker C:Know, you know, if you've been eating.
Speaker D:That Waffle House a long time, then.
Speaker B:You know for sure.
Speaker D:But it's all the favorites that people get majority of the time on the menu.
Speaker C:Because you can get the All Star.
Speaker D:Substitute chicken for, like, $2 that they talk about.
Speaker D:That is not a secret menu.
Speaker D:That is a.
Speaker D:It basically a chart for us to know our pricing.
Speaker D:It's nothing.
Speaker D:It's just everything that we got.
Speaker D:That's it.
Speaker D:It's nothing special about it.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:Why y'all charge for refills on the lemonade?
Speaker D:Actually, now we got bottles, so they.
Speaker D:They cut it off.
Speaker B:So with a bottle, we don't make the lemonade orange juice no more.
Speaker B:So with the bottles, that's more money.
Speaker B:So they counting that.
Speaker B:They want their money and they want their profits.
Speaker B:We can't keep just giving out free.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Cause they gonna be like, y'all stealing.
Speaker B:That's stealing from us.
Speaker B:Y'all not charging for it.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So.

Speaker B:Waffle House try to take Waffle Houses try to take your last dollar.
Speaker D:Not the last two.
Speaker B:Yo.
Speaker B:Last dollar.
Speaker B:For real.

Speaker B:Because a kid in Waffle.
Speaker B:One day, a kid in Waffle House got burned in Atlanta, which is corporate is.
Speaker B:And they said, don't do that shit.
Speaker D:No more because we weren't supposed to do it nowhere.
Speaker B:Yeah, we ain't supposed to do it nowhere.
Speaker D:Once again, doing it off the love, keeping all that got burnt.
Speaker D:Now you want to sue Waffles for something you already asked for in the first place.
Speaker C:And you know this hot.
Speaker D:Like, you know it's hot.
Speaker D:So it was just a free check for them.
Speaker F:What's the craziest waffle I can make up there?

Speaker D:So before we cook it.
Speaker D:So that's gonna be cooked into your waffle.
Speaker D:Now, the peanut butter, the chocolate chip, and the s'mores is gonna be put on last.
Speaker D:But that's too much chocolate and peanut butter.
Speaker B:Boy, you gonna right.

Speaker B:You consuming more than that.
Speaker B:You have to.
Speaker B:It's okay.

Speaker B:Just because we work here, that don't mean we want to clean up your throw up.
Speaker B:Like, that's biohazard.
Speaker B:That's nasty.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Really?
Speaker B:Yeah, that should be stinking, man.
Speaker A:Have y'all ever had an employee come in and try to hustle out that.
Speaker D:Yeah, it's Waffle House.
Speaker B:It's Waffle House.
Speaker D:That's the secret code for waffles.
Speaker D:When, like, something that's off the wall, we just be like, it's Waffle House.
Speaker D:Like, it does.
Speaker D:I'm.
Speaker D:Nothing surprises us at this point from Waffle House.
Speaker A:What is the first giveaway of a nigga that's in there that's just trying to hustle, like, in the waffle.
Speaker D:All right, so it's like, if you come to the window, you order your food.
Speaker D:Now, I know you didn't order a drink, but then you ask her when she goes to the window.
Speaker D:Hey, let me get my drink.
Speaker D:Now, if she don't ask me, she don't know.
Speaker D:So she gonna get your drink.
Speaker D:So you just finesse.
Speaker D:So what we do is I'm gonna be like, if it's me, yo, Chris, he get a drink.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:Now, she can put you on the spot.
Speaker D:Oh, no, he ain't pay for it.
Speaker D:All right, that's too.
Speaker D:Well, that's $3 because it's to go.
Speaker D:So it's 250 plus to get to.
Speaker D:To go fee.
Speaker D:So it's $3.
Speaker D:I need.
Speaker A:Bro, talk to me about that to go fee, because I just learned about that.
Speaker B:So this year, before they got the window, it was just 10.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Now they have that to go fell because they closed the inside.
Speaker B:And you have to walk up, it's 20.
Speaker B:We don't know why we.
Speaker B:They never accept.
Speaker D:I'm tell you why.
Speaker D:Why possible if they 10 and we get our little 10.
Speaker C:But I tell people, y'all don't get that because they.
Speaker D:So it's like.
Speaker D:It's probably like $1.43 for them, $1.43 for us.
Speaker D:But they're about to tax this $43.
Speaker D:So am I really winning?
Speaker D:I'm not winning.
Speaker D:That's not.
Speaker A:What fucked me up is they was the Waffle House I was at didn't have no fucking window.
Speaker A:Like, I still had to get.
Speaker A:I had to get out, walk in, wait in line.
Speaker A:All this, and then you charging me a fee for all that because people.
Speaker D:Don'T know how to act.
Speaker D:I feel like the people.
Speaker D:I tell people all the time, y'all messing up for y'all selves.
Speaker D:Y'all going in these people's establishment, showing your ass.
Speaker D:And then you wondering why they closed it down.
Speaker B:Absolutely.
Speaker B:Because you gotta think when y'all break that, we gotta clean that up.
Speaker B:Not nobody else.
Speaker B:Not even because y'all get in a fight with us.
Speaker B:Y'all get in a fight with y'all sales.
Speaker B:We gotta clean that up.
Speaker D:It's not even.
Speaker B:They a billion dollar corporation.
Speaker B:They want to keep their billions.
Speaker B:They tired of replacing.
Speaker A:Let's be real, though.
Speaker A:I ain't really.
Speaker B:You ain't see that girl they fired?
Speaker B:The girl that got the chair thrown at her, that white girl, Wendy, for defending herself.
Speaker B:You ain't see that stuff off that dispense bitch.
Speaker B:Oh, boy, I was happy she fell in that.
Speaker B:I ain't lying.
Speaker F:What's a good tip that y'all think y'all should get?
Speaker F:20, 40.
Speaker F:What's what do y'all expect to get?
Speaker D:I can't say that because people.
Speaker D:I didn't have people give me crazy tips just off the love.
Speaker D:So I can't go off there.
Speaker D:Like, when somebody be like, for sure, yeah.
Speaker D:I take the order, they'd be like, oh, leave what you want.
Speaker D:Don't tell me that.
Speaker D:So I double check, like, nah, give me a price.
Speaker D:Because somebody before, you could have just tipped me $50, right?
Speaker D:Or gave me a hundred dollars.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:So I don't do that or $20.
Speaker D:So it's just.
Speaker D:Just like, if I be like, all right, I'll leave 20, but then you say 10.
Speaker D:See what I mean?
Speaker D:You should have just gave me a number then.
Speaker D:So that's why I don't do that.
Speaker D:Like, don't tell me to put a number because I'm gonna put a number.
Speaker D:You might not pick.
Speaker D:Just tell me and then I'll put it.
Speaker E:Did they switch up y'all tipping system, like, as far as.
Speaker E:Yeah, tell us about that.
Speaker E:Because I saw somebody was just growing up.
Speaker B:We do not get tips every day no more.
Speaker D:No.
Speaker D:Waffles knew we was.
Speaker B:They.
Speaker D:They knew we was really.
Speaker D:We was.
Speaker D:When service made more than the cooks.
Speaker E:And I know you had to cook like, what?
Speaker D:So like, we was like, so we get credit card tips and we get cash.
Speaker D:So the cash in our pocket we get to keep.
Speaker D:And so we was getting our credit card, which people leaving, you know, tips on a credit card, We've been able to take that home.
Speaker D:So what they did was they knew we was making money.
Speaker D:Our area manager came in, was like, oh, y'all really made some money.
Speaker D:Like, yeah, I know.
Speaker D:So it's like, say, for example, if my credit card is 150 today, tomorrow it could be a hundred dollars.
Speaker D:Then after that it's 90.
Speaker D:That's a lot of money.
Speaker D:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:But I'm coming home with this every.
Speaker B:Day, plus a paycheck every month.
Speaker E:But you hustling production.
Speaker D:Yeah, but now you're putting it together, and then you're taxing as a whole.
Speaker D:You're not gonna, like, trick me to make me think I'm winning.
Speaker D:I'm not winning, I'm losing.
Speaker E:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:So when I was, you know, we had like the to go fee.
Speaker D:So if I'm bringing 200 to $300 on a to go fee and I'm getting my credit cards, I'm really winning.
Speaker D:So now you're putting it all together, and you're taxing it.
Speaker B:I'm not winning.
Speaker D:I'm losing.
Speaker E:Exactly.
Speaker E:They do that once a week now, right?
Speaker D:Yeah, it's just.
Speaker D:It's.
Speaker B:You might as well get a nine.
Speaker D:You can see it like.
Speaker D:I can see it.
Speaker B:You see.
Speaker E:You might as well get a 9 to 5.
Speaker B:But I'm not going.
Speaker B:But I'm not gonna hold Waffle House.
Speaker B:Waffle House do pay you.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:You just have to like us.
Speaker B:We didn't put in the time and the work and the effort to get to where we are.
Speaker C:You have to get that away from.
Speaker B:Right.

Speaker D:Like, cuz it's free publicity.
Speaker C:You see, you ain't never seen a Wap House commercial, bro.

Speaker E:Everyone at Waffle House walks in, looks to the left at that table on the far left.
Speaker E:Yeah, the loop.

Speaker B:Am I correct?
Speaker E:Yes.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:At night shift you only got two.
Speaker B:And if it's packed and we taking orders, if it's eight people at two booths, what you want us to do?
Speaker B:Stop taking they order to come clean your table?

Speaker B:It should be part of clean that.
Speaker E:Table in the corner that everyone gonna.
Speaker B:See that it don't matter.
Speaker B:But look, but look, but look.
Speaker B:That's common courtesy, though.
Speaker B:You want me to have common courtesy to come wait on you, right?
Speaker B:You gotta have common curses for me to at least finish taking they order.
Speaker B:Put it in.
Speaker B:Or at least take that order, then come wipe your table.
Speaker B:I can't just come over there if they walk.
Speaker D:And then you get the slide and everything down, and you pulling that first off, you pulling napkins out the thing, and I gotta feel this.

Speaker B:When you on the line, you cannot take that break.
Speaker C:For real.
Speaker E:Y'all got a union or something?
Speaker A:This really sounded like kind of like slavery.
Speaker D:Nah, it's just.
Speaker B:It's waffle.
Speaker D:It's like.
Speaker D:It's Waffle House way or no way.
Speaker D:Like, straight up.
Speaker C:They call it the Waffle House way for a reason.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:So it's like we make our break.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:Like, so say, for instance, we do 10 hours.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:So just imagine for nine hours straight, I've been working.
Speaker D:Why you think I'm ready for the 6:00 person?
Speaker D:I'm ready for her because I ain't sit down.
Speaker D:So I have to make it in between.
Speaker D:So I'd be like, hey, you take them.
Speaker D:Then I'm gonna go outside real quick.
Speaker D:I'm gonna smoke, and then we can just flip.
Speaker D:We have to make time or we're never going to get time.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Like, and then for Waffle House, somebody has to be in that building.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Like, can't they get on our ass so bad?
Speaker B:Somebody, as long as somebody's in that goddamn building, they don't care.
Speaker B:They don't want to hear that it was closed.
Speaker B:They want nobody in there.
Speaker B:So say, for instance, she go outside, but it's people still pulling up.
Speaker B:I'm on.
Speaker B:I got the right to.
Speaker B:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:Take y'all order till she comes back, then we swap out.
Speaker B:Now, if he the only cook.
Speaker B:Okay, cool.
Speaker B:He might.
Speaker B:He don't mind.
Speaker B:He'll stay in there.
Speaker B:But just for instance, he want a break.
Speaker B:It's our duty to be good co workers and maybe try to help.
Speaker B:You don't have to, but we them that will.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker A:Realistically, how many employees does it take to run a shift at Waffle House?
Speaker C:Depending on what shift?
Speaker B:It depends.
Speaker B:No shit.
Speaker B:It depends on the day.
