Rules and post restrictions
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! ❤️

Credit Check
Does Waffle House still run credit checks for Unit Manager Hiring? I’ve been in the interview process for a little bit now, I saw that they pull a credit check after conditional offer. What’s the threshold for them not hiring you? I have a 600+ credit score but I have student loans, I’ve heard they have a debt limit when you’re above a certain amount they flag it? Is this true? And do student loans count?

Ideal Atmosphere, Time, Weather, & Location for Waffle House?
Odd question, I know, but figured why not ask? So, for those who love Waffle House, what would be the ideal atmosphere, time, weather, & location for your Waffle House?
Me? My ideal atmosphere would be calm and quiet while alone.
Ideal time would be around night time or dusk.
Ideal weather would be either rain, snow, or fog.
Ideal location would be in small town, maybe close to some woods. Edit: Would be close/next to a hotel or residence. Edit 2: Would be perched slightly on an elevated hill.
Can't wait to read your responses.

Interview in a day
Hello! I'm 16, and I have an interview for a hostess job in a day. I applied online, and it immediately set up an interview, is this trustworthy and should I show up? I'm scared if I show up they won't be aware of the interview. Please, any advice like how to dress or act?

Waffle House Diarrhea
Currently a server at waffle house on shift, on the toilet with bad diarrhea. The shift just started and I informed my manager, and his solution was pep-to bismol. Anyways, Im currently considering just leaving but I really worry about losing my position, as I know my manager would be very pissed. I can hardly work because Im spending most of my time in the bathroom.
Let me know if it would be bad to call out, or if I should just stick it through.

Terrible management
Anyone know how to contact corporate at waffle house i was an employee and tried to calling in multiple times but i was never given a managers/employees number for this occasion nor does their store phone work and so i emailed waffle house support/help about my sick day stating my employee number and reasoning and even screenshotted all my evidence of trying and yet i come in to work and immediately sent home for no call no show when that is not entirely my fault.

Hi, I'm a reporter hoping to chat with Waffle House servers (and cooks, whomever!)
Hi y'all. I'm Chabeli, a national economy reporter — I write a lot about women in the economy, women in service and care jobs, moms and how the economy impacts people.
I have kind of a quirky story idea ahead of the midterm election that I wanted to speak to folks about: I really want to talk to Waffle House servers about the economy, their lives, the lives of the people who come through, how they (the servers and the customers) are feeling about politics. I bet y'all hear all kinds of things.
It strikes me that you might have a unique vantage point on how people are feeling about the world right now, and I'd just be curious to hear about it! Feel free to message me directly, too!

Has anyone here worked during/shortly after a hurricane?
Curious to hear what your experience was like! Were there ever points where you feared for your safety?

Scored tonight
Stopped in to a waffle house I hadn't visited before and above the kitchen were two of These beauties! I asked how much I was told those were the last 2, and they offered them at $6.00 a piece, I was definitely excited haha

Do people ever send food back.?
I go to my local WH fairly often. They have multiple cooks that rotate. Some of them are pretty good while others are just can't cook.
The other day my cheesy scrambled eggs didn't have no cheese, my grits were so cold they wouldn't melt butter, and another time my Delmonico my steak was over cooked and cold, I understand that the steak is so you really get one of to ways med rare or well, my over light eggs were over hard, and my waffle was under cooked and cold wouldn't melt butter I ordered it dark.

How do I get my w-2 from waffle house
I quit a few weeks ago and need my w-2 to fill out my taxes. Not really sure how to go about getting it, though.

Waffle House stock
Hi, I’ve been with Waffle House for over a decade, I only recently became a stock holder (maybe 2-3 years ago) but I’ve always been confused on what it actually is. How does it work when you take it out? My grandma (who worked for Waffle House on and off for over 56 years) was a stock holder and took her stock out relatively often so it was never anything large, and never paid any type of taxes on it. How does this work? My original plan was to just let it build up and then use it when I retire (I know kind of depressing to think of being at Waffle House for the rest of my life BUT that was the plan) but would this be beneficial? A lot of people I’ve worked with said having stock was pointless and it’s basically just a “savings account” and anytime someone high up has tried to explain it to me, I generally do not understand it. Anyways thank you. Sorry if I sound dumb 😭🤣

I went for a blt but waitress was yelling in orders, I just wasn't feeling it.
I never did get to order. I just sat at the counter and looked at the dirty floor and the waitress was busy yelling in her orders, like the cooks just a few feet away were using hearing aids. I got up and left. Video is what it was like.

Required tipping
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.

Want to say thank you.
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
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.
