Also, Waffle House employees actually serve the public.

Damn now I'm craving hash browns smothered with jalapenos.
IIRC there's some urban legend on the subject of weirdest job interview questions.
The Question: "Can you fight?"
The employer: Waffle House
While I appreciate the spirit of the meme, the "gold" line actually represents 911 operators who are THE first responders. This and fire department I really consider to deserve special recognition when it comes to "thin colored line"
I just really appreciate them and empathize for how shitty their job is (imagine having to talk to a racist and IT IS YOUR JOB to dispatch the police they requested, and that's a good day where you don't take a call because someone's 4 year old found their gun and shot themselves) so anyway wanted to share this little factoid
And yeah a lot of dispatchers suck. High turnover because the job also sucks.
My husband is actually a dispatcher, so I agree that it's a very under appreciated field! It's a hard, thankless job, so any appreciation is welcome :) My husband also got a kick out of this picture because he's southern and misses Waffle House dearly since we moved to the West Coast.
Please give him my genuine thanks for his service! I also have people I love that work in the field and see behind the curtain so to speak, so I do get a little excited when I can share with others and praise this thankless but very critical and understaffed job in our society. I hope his 2020 wasn't as bad as the people I knew and he managed to avoid getting sick in those small offices.
But yeah waffle house is a great joke for this too I think! Actually perfect, deal with the worst of shit, no backup or authority to shut down shitty ppl, and always open even when conditions are unsafe.
He says thank you, and loves the appreciation 😊
God bless Waffle House 🫡
Amen
Waffle House is wild. One time I was at a rural Florida WH at 3am and ended up watching The Devil's Rejects with the staff there on a shitty tiny CRT TV. I'm convinced it's the best way to watch that film, not that I really remember much of it.
the thin bleu line…
honestly would be funny as fuck if these became bumper stickers. that way the cops fuck with you less and you also gain the respect of your local waffle house employee.
What counties flag is that? Can't be America, ours is red white and blue. Glad they have access to good waffles, but they could have come up with their own templet.
