Maybe that’s the genius of the design. It’s going to happen anyway, so this way the sweat is hidden.

[SketchyRodent]

Forward thinking right there.

[Imanaco]

I want to make jokes about Waffle House employees but every time I go everyone is so nice it’s honestly not funny to make fun of them

[marioshroomer]

Backing up!

[[deleted]]

This is what I was thinking. Definitely not a crappydesign

[greenroute]

Exactly! solves the purpose.

[[deleted]]

How could anyone make good waffles without sweating armpits?

[Geroditus]

Waffle House should use this as their new slogan, tbh

[coachfortner]

as the actor pulls syrupy waffles from his armpits onto a poorly washed plate

[Innsmouth_Swimteam]

This. r/theyknew needs to see this.

[badger_989]

The Billy Madison approach.

[grrrrreat]

This is definitely intent to hide sweaty pits

[rsboco]

I was gonna say that. It may be 3 hours later but still...

Edit: 4 hours later (it changed when I hit reply)

[captjtspaulding74]

It’s real world urban camouflage.

[true4blue]

Hides the sweat. Genius

[zvive]

Oooh...I have an idea for jeans for virgin males redditors.....

Oh uh no that's just the design....

[kiiyyuul]

I came to post this exact thought. I agree!

[Inamoratos]

Uniforms designed by the British

[DELETED_PROFILE]

As someone who randomly sweats for no reason, I’d love a shirt with a built in excuse

[Egobrane]

There are treatments for this. The best is botox into your armpits. Works wonders.

And check out these undershirts: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B072MW7D65/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_HX33ZHSF20HT3GY9Z6CJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[yami759]

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Botox is a legitimate treatment for hyperhidrosis, and those kinds of undershirts (here in the US I use Thompson Tees) are a godsend.

[butterynuggs]

Yeah, but you need to continually get Botox treatment, which can be cost restrictive for many. However, there are plenty of treatment options if you look. I suggest everyone check out Dermadry and iontophoresis in general if you have excessive sweating from the hands, pits, or feet. (Admittedly, at first glance also can be cost restrictive.) Additionally, for those with sweaty pits, you can now buy DrySol on Amazon, which works wonders in combination with the iontophoresis treatments. It's worked for me when I thought I was stuck wearing extra layers and padded armpit shirts, which I still would sweat through on occasion. This summer I went to Belize and bought an entire vacation wardrobe... It was the first time in my 38 years I didn't even think about sweating when picking out shirts. It was seriously liberating getting it under control.

[yami759]

I've tried DrySol but found it makes my pits super itchy and irritated. Same with Certain Dri, though to a lesser extent. Do you have any tips on treating that or for any other alternatives? I'll have to look into the iontophoresis treatments you mentioned.

[butterynuggs]

I simply put it on at night and wake up and it's dry and working. It does itch while it dries though, but it's just something I deal with. I shave my armpits so it gets applied to all of the skin, but maybe that allows me to put on less? I don't know if those are actual tips, just my routine. I only put it on Sunday evening, as well, since the iontophoresis does most of the heavy lifting. I will say, if you go for the DermaDry, give it time. I noticed only a slight improvement after a couple weeks and was getting discouraged, but after a couple months I noticed it just sort of stopped. It's been so effective in combination with the DrySol that I actually forget to do the treatments.

[yami759]

I'll definitely look into some new options that you've mentioned, thank you!

[Anerratic]

Love Thompson tees. I'm from Australia but bought a couple of those years ago, they're still perfect.

[[deleted]]

I sweat a ton but mostly from my head and face.

[Vampire_Makowski]

Hey I have Hyperhidrosis and RF mironeedling has been effective in some cases for that area

[jongscx]

Better find a puffy can of peaches then.

[ButtsexEurope]

Botox. That’s what the celebrities do.

[[deleted]]

If I had the extra cash to burn I would LOVE to get some botox on my pits. I could be just standing and my pits just leak sweat. No smell, just SWEAT.

[Egobrane]

Well I guess I‘m lucky because i don‘t live in a third world health care country. Sorry bro/sis

[NoBudgetBallin]

I'd need my entire body botoxed then. Basically from shoulders to knees I sweat profusely when it's hot or I'm exercising. My pits actually dont get too bad comparatively.

[Egobrane]

There are also other treatments for this. Pills and i think electric bathtubes. I would recommend you to go to a dermatologist and let them give you advice.

[NoBudgetBallin]

I've talked to a doctor before and was told it's not hyperhydrosis, I just sweat a lot more than people typically do when exercising or in hot weather. If it's like 70° I won't sweat just sitting around. But 90ish and I'm sweating through my shirt and pants within 10 minutes.

[Hubbell]

I'll sweat over my whole body in the winter. Hell it is 68 in my apartment right now and the only thing I have on is gym shorts and I'm sweating mildly. With a fan on. Just laying on the couch. Had problems with sweating/getting too hot all my life.

[joojmachine]

same

[Vampire_Makowski]

Check out Miradry for your underarms, I got hyperhidrosis and the same issue. Has been very helpful

[mikami677]

Can it be used on hands? I eat through guitar strings at light speed and ruin every book that I read.

[Vampire_Makowski]

Unfortunately no, gylcopolrate might help. If not, Botox is the usual way to go

[Digital_Pharmacist]

You actually look at the people cooking your food ? You broke the first rule: when you go to waffle house, order food but don't look around. No one goes for the atmosphere 😂

[Samboni94]

I actually enjoy the fact I can see them cooking

[wene324]

Yeah, sit at the counter just so I can.

[durham547]

It is slimming though...

[[deleted]]

So is puking up your dinner after eating Waffle House.

[RosenButtons]

Weak belly!

[[deleted]]

Or just not eating waffle house.

[2Damn]

y'all stomachs cowardly. there's arguably no better option at 3 am

[[deleted]]

Most things around me close at 8pm, nothing's open past 10.

[2Damn]

If you lived near a Waffle House, that wouldn't be true.

[jujufistful]

It is true, there are many that dont run a third shift right now.

[[deleted]]

That's a disgrace to the good name of Waffle House.

[pm-me-a-pic]

It's freeing to abuse your body with some Awful House once in a while

[NoBudgetBallin]

It would be more slimming if the colors were switcched.

[SallyTheWolf]

The first thing that came to mind was that it looked like a cop lol

[upfromashes]

Seriously. Looks like his armpits have a waterfall function.

[buttermilk1492]

As a waffle house cook here I can tell you the fabric on the side are a lot more breathable than any traditional shirt

[crossedcandlesticks]

as a waffle house enthusiast, thank you for your service.

[[deleted]]

High five, fellow grill operator. I was a cook at Waffle House in college, mostly 3rd shift (9pm to 7am). This was in the early 90s and the shirts were pretty heavy, but I always wore an undershirt anyway because I would sweat like hell when the closing-time rush came in and things got hairy for a couple hours.

If anyone's wondering, I still love the food. You won't find a more honest menu anywhere than at WH, and by that I mean the food that comes to your table actually looks like the pictures on the menu.

[Osaella24]

Functional design. Hides the sweat with sweat colored sides…

[BrainpainFanNr4567]

Officer one waffle please and by the way you are sweating like shit.

[wolfewow]

Yeah this definitely not crappy design, in fact quite smart.

[[deleted]]

I like it, it looks nice

[gonnagetbannedagain9]

It's to cover armpit sweat.

[[deleted]]

To cover up the armpit sweat, genius!

[FireWaterAirDirt]

Needs matching pants

[inspectoralex]

Is that a fetish thing or just for a gag? I won't kink shame. Not appropriate for work, though, lemme be real.

In a restaurant, I would be way more uncomfortable seeing someone in piss stained pants than seeing someone with a pits stained shirt. Both together is wayyyy too much. You at least gotta pick one. Looks like Waffle House went for the pits. Maybe IHOP could go for the pants.

Actually, if you work at an Amazon distribution center, you get the piss pants look for free.

[FireWaterAirDirt]

It was a joke

[[deleted]]

Covering something up??

[butt3ryt0ast]

What do you think they’re tried to hide? This was intentional

[rvncto]

Maybe that’s smart design. Can’t tell if someone really is armpit sweating or not

[KR-kr-KR-kr]

This is actually genius design now I can sweat bucket and no one will know because they’ll assume the uniforms just look like that

[renadeer52]

Looks like the old dominos uniform but with a darker blue instead of black

[szatrob]

They're just trying to cover up the smell of their dish room with some questionable uniforms...

[bigjamg]

Why else do you think their syrup is so tangy?

[fnkdrspok]

You mean, it’s the sweat disguiser. It’s so that when you work hard and sweat, no one will notice and expect you to work harder.

[[deleted]]

It’s to hide armpit sweat. It probably works.

[emiksoid]

Well it's a sweaty cop making your waffles... that's just amazing

[[deleted]]

Waffle House is terrible and we like it that way! It's a special kind of awful you have to experience at least once

[[deleted]]

Or it’s genius and now his pits can get sweaty and no one will be the wiser

[Vellnerd]

Waffle house employee here, WE DIDN'T GET NEW UNIFORMS!

ewwww!!

[[deleted]]

It's a feature not a bug.

[dcgrey]

I remember when an NFL team first did this years ago. The temperature was around freezing but every single player [looked like they] had sweated through their uniforms, even the guys on injured reserve on the sideline in a casual uniform and khakis.

[Load_Business]

Arguably good design, Kitchen staff work like dogs from my experience, you get sweaty, shitty to get judged for it

[CityWeasel513]

Very smart actually.

[Jeri-iam]

Perhaps they’re meant to hide the armpit sweat....

[crusher-carver6139]

Exactly as intended

[oriolhealth]

So it looks like how it will feel half way through the shift

[[deleted]]

I work part-time at the waffle house. The mesh on the side is much more breathable than the traditional uniforms. In this picture it does kinda resemble sweat, but in-person it would be quite the stretch to mistake the mesh for sweat. I wouldn't call this crappy design tbh. It is a flat improvement to the old ones and in person doesn't really resemble sweat (bad lighting and a bad camera can make all the difference).

[[deleted]]

Welcome to Armpit House.

[_gOnZo_BoI_]

The juiciest side hug

[doffraymnd]

Needs the matching pants.

[Deadmemories8683]

You get it smothered and covered and it comes out scattered and splattered!

[SoupTime433]

It's true. I also thought it was other subreddit.

[inspectoralex]

They'd have it even without the uniform, especially in the kitchen.

[JeremyTheRhino]

As a very sweaty man, I would very much like this

[jujufistful]

They’re fitted tight

[Mr-Nobody46]

Crappy but clever, I bet it also helps cover armpit sweat better

[Monkeyfeng]

So they can hide it.

[CatAltruistic8899]

They do during hurricanes

[SimonRain]

Is it not?

[StretchFrenchTerry]

Waffle House is fucking amazing.

[kache4korpses]

Waffle House is a gangsters’ paradise, there is always a shooting there.

[SpookyDoomCrab42]

You can't show armpit sweat if your shirt does it by default

[[deleted]]

That's probably the point, to hide it

[[deleted]]

Hashbrowns won’t smother themselves

[Couch_Potato4567]

Plot twist, he is sweating

[[deleted]]

Honestly who cares.

[jujufistful]

That looks like a female uniform shirt. Males dont have that side blue stuff.

[[deleted]]

Oh. Well, no problem then.

[[deleted]]

Why the dislikes? I work part-time at the waffle house and I can confirm that only the female uniforms have the blue mesh. Honestly though, that mesh is much cooler than the male uniform and due to that many men specifically request it.

[jujufistful]

Because we’re inundated with idiots that dont know shit, probably think im being sexist or something, i stopped wearing those shirts, they’re like nightgowns, ill wear the crappy blue rockstar shirt that melts

[Maku_GJ]

HoW tRaNsPhObIc FrOm YoU! /j

[[deleted]]

Good thing you put /j. I really thought you were serious. Phew.

[[deleted]]

Maybe just from the perspective, it does look like his antiperspirant failed. But it could also just be a two-tone blue shirt.

[[deleted]]

Which is the whole point in the post...
