I guess a sign of the times, Waffle House knows their business, there is a reason why there is a term "Waffle House index" about business during hurricanes

They could have each table in a little separate bulletproof cubicle. Drop the food down on each table with robots that move around above, like an upside-down Amazon warehouse.

Used to love ‘em. Last time went, it was clear that whitey was not welcome.

I don’t know why Waffle House is doing this.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just put up “No Fighting” and “No Gunplay” signs?
And maybe this sign, too:

Vicksburg sounds right but I would have guessed Birmingham.

A Waffle House I used to eat at in Tallahassee regularly had a black staff and was on the edge of a black neighborhood. It could quickly go from safe to dodgy depending on the time and day of the week and the weather.

One mild early Friday evening, the young black manager locked the door and held me in for a moment. He and two burly men from the kitchen staff then talked with and ran off several young black males in the parking lot who were beginning to deal drugs.

When the manager came back in, he shook his head, saying to me, "It's a shame. Those boys are losing their way. No fathers at home and not enough church." In a few words, that Waffle House manager expressed more wisdom than the cumulative work of America's college faculties over several generations.

FEMA
Release Date
September 20, 2017
Over the years there have been several news articles to come out about a little something called the “Waffle House Index.” This index is pretty ingenious—it relies on the open or closed status of the well-known diner chain in disaster-affected areas.

The index itself isn’t just about whether or not you can get pralines on your waffles or if you can get waffles at all, but rather about the damage in a neighborhood.

If a Waffle House can serve a full menu, they’ve likely got power (or are running on a generator). A limited menu means an area may not have running water or electricity, but there’s gas for the stove to make bacon, eggs, and coffee: exactly what hungry, weary people need.

Sadly, it is ‘them’ again. This is probably a good business decision on the part of waffle house. Certain groups in this country have no self-control at all, and think the world owes them something.

As Scott Adams might say, “This is why we can’t have nice things.”

In September - October of 2023 I did a solo 23 state, 11,000 mile motorcycle trip. I ate a lot of breakfast meals in Waffle House restaurants. I open carried my FN FiveseveN the whole way. I had one manager and one customer thank me for carrying.

I’ve eaten at 3 of those 4 Waffle Houses in Vicksburg while working on the Grand Gulf I power plant.
