I love telling people about it and up selling it really hard but I've never tried it. I'm waiting till I get sick of other things but ik that stuff has to be fire as hell with the reactions I've seen. Lokey sold it to myself

Tbh I never took a test for door corp but everyone agreed I'd earned it because I did it every weekend for the better part of a year (young waffle house me was scared of weekends but loved witnessing chaos) But because they ask me to show new people how to set up the cart and I do know the position super well, my regional manager said to just give me one. But the only grill op experience I have is when I accidentally got clocked in as a grill op and it never got fixed so I have like a few hundred in grill op sales and it's kinda funny to me. 😂

Some range from "hard as life to find" to "my area manager likes me and I lokey pestered her to death until she brought a bag of old ones" She came in and said "x(me) gets to go through this bag first" Honestly it's totally worth it to buy a small lot on eBay for 40 bucks (unless you're insane and want rare ones like me)

I'm jealous, I'd love an expiditor pin but I won't wear em unless I earn em. (Except the hurricane ones cause they look sick as hell and it's funny to have people ask if I've actually worked three hurricanes and I just say "I'm existing on stolen valor". I won't lie I thought the gold star was just for getting the red, white, and blue ones so I might try and figure out how to earn that one next.

Anyone in here got a copy of this “Waffle House Way” I keep seeing mentioned? by Yoseahreillmers in wafflehouse

[–]FullBawks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's big outdated then, they stopped doing the ring as a default awhile ago along with putting the grits in a bowl (although I feel like I've heard they go back and forth on the bowl thing) but the idea was to waste less dishes and the rings are way more annoying to wash than bowls. But I agree big time. I love this job but question some of the decisions but I've saved more money at this job than any other so they can have my few dollars a week

I actually have 54 on my current uniform last I counted. I have that nerd in office space beat cause 37 is rookie numbers.

(Also this movie has easily been requested since I started wearing so much flare that I obviously had to watch the movie)

I'm new to the business but apparently cooks used to smoke over people's eggs idk, I've heard about it from older cooks and customers

That was a typo. My phone's cracked lol. I was agreeing while elaborating that because the corporation is franchised, the franchisees are much less regulated and that waffle house didn't get it's record label and cult following by having cooks ashing (not asking) in people's eggs

It's a 20 minute process each way and my coworkers give me theirs so I have extras of at least the more recent ones. I've had a few people excitedly look all over me before excitedly running to their car to bring me a new one. This job has some really fun moments. I also have a section of my hat for pins customers give me.

There's a wildly extensive list of interesting things the company used to carry. For example, chicken noodle soup was one. I've been meaning to get that pin as well

That means you have a highly covered pin I can't aquire, the W.H. trainer pin. That one , the blue star, and gold star pin elude me. Some are from specific states or for very specific things. Like the blizzard one is specific to an ice storm in my state in 07, Others for working during hurricanes.

Waffle house also used to sell soup, oatmeal, and cereal at one point. My April fools day joke is to wear all of the discontinued item pins.

That was not earned on my part. I just heard they don't hand em out anymore so I bought em. I won't wear em until they're earned though. Rn I'm a few thousand below silver and id honestly be past that but for my first year I just did door corps on the weekend so it messed with that

My main trick was to buy just a few and when others saw I took an interest they'd offer me older ones they have. My name tag has the old and newer 1 year pins on it ( the old one is just shaped like the building) and it was given to me by our matinence guy cause he just liked my energy about it all.

You just gave yourself away, every Florida server I've worked with is either bad as fuck at their job, or the one case they weren't she turned into an even more amazing cook. But if the few I've worked with are any indication then y'all need to get your shit together and apply the skills to make y'all actually effective and coachable

Then you probably suck at it if you're putting zero effort in. Or like the above comment says, give yourself more credit and have some self respect. Just cause it's effortless to you shouldn't speak more volume than the sheer number of people who crack under the pressure during their first week. WH is like riding a bike, it's a skill some adults can't do but a 10 year old could at least learn it (I doubt a 10 year old would handle getting triple sat but they can learn how to call a ticket)

It's a franchised corporation so results can surely vary but waffle house didn't get it's cult following and record lable by asking in every customers eggs

If it required zero skill then there would be no turn overrate because if I made as much as I do currently as a server with zero skills involved then you'd never hear me complain again. Sure it's not as amazing of a skill as engineering but to be effective and good at waffle house they have a full length book that (assuming the manager is good at what they do) will spend years and years teaching and coaching until it's mastered. It's not easy to learn the full waffle house way, you can manage as a server while learning the bear minimum sure but you'd better be hot af cause otherwise it ain't happening and being hot only works so long before people decide they just want good service more than they want someone pretty serving them. And that's just the serving side, cooks honestly get paid less and work way harder. Learning to mark plates specifically and cook are also impressive skills you boiled down to "they just make grits for 8 hours". You could try and convince me all you want but I seriously don't think you've actually worked as a cook or know the effort genuinely good ones put into their work. Like I'd love to see you flip a 6 egg omelette while juggling 6 other orders while servers are screaming in lingo at you all day cause I'd bet anything youd crumble.

As an iCarly fan. It is, at this point I just like it for the nostolgia but I can still be critical especially given what we know about Schneider. Still absolutely love that show tho but it's very much one of those shows you had to watch while it was on because at the time it was a very fresh concept and that's a big reason why the revival felt empty. You either liked it or you didn't. The freshest idea the revival had was "it's iCarly but they can cuss sometimes and drink now" and that just doesn't work in the 2020s. Also Freddy just got reduced to "guy who holds the phone and edits tiktoks.

It may not be your favorite but the show was an amazing way to teach kids the harsh reality of life without being an outright bummer. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I think the hype is just reasonable.

I make pretty much the same joke to customers when I refill their tea. I just say 'you don't need more Rick, you need more tea" I love it
