Waffle House Server

Do you get free Waffle House food, and if so are you absolutely sick of it by this point?

Asked by Danielle almost 12 years ago

Yes and No. Money is automatically taken out of our checks for meals, and we do have to pay for the larger more expensive meat items if we eat them (although they are largely discounted). However aside from that we can eat pretty much whatever we want so it does feel free. 

And unfortunately i am not yet sick of the food lol

Do you have security people to deal with really bad drunks who come into Waffle House late at night?

Asked by J Quellin almost 12 years ago

I work the overnight shift 9pm-7am and i assure you we DO get alot of unruly people overnight, drunk or not. Every Fri and Sat night (busiest times) we have an officer who comes and sits inside our store. He's there for several hours until most of the bar/club rushes are over with. He's there to ensure our safety, manage large crowds and help deal with drunks/rude people.

He is awesome btw. :-)

You're only 22, how long do you see yourself working there? Is there an age by which you'd be depressed if you were still working at Waffle House?

Asked by Sammy over 11 years ago

I see myself working there as long as it continues to be a good source of income and a decent platform to carry myself to my next goal.

And Yesterday. Lol

Thanks for answering my previous question! You mention that you get a LOT of bad customers and non-tippers. Is management aware of this, and if so, are you paid more than the typical $2.13 per hour to compensate for it?

Asked by Jameson85 almost 12 years ago

Management is absolutely aware of it. They often have to deal with it themselves. Like most places Waffle House tries to enforce a "Every customer leaves happy" policy to ensure that people dont complain to corporate and keep coming back to our stores.

I get paid a bit over $4 an hour.

What's the most popular menu item?

Asked by Wandr almost 12 years ago

The All Star meal. Similar to the Grand Slam at Denny's. It comes with a waffle, your choice of side, your choice of toast, and your choice of meat for under 10 dollars. It is the best deal on the menu.

Have you ever seen roaches or rodents, and if you do, do you have an obligation to report them to the health inspector?

Asked by Darious almost 12 years ago

The only critters ive seen in our store would be the occasional ant or gnat in the lobby. Ive never seen a roach and NEVER any type of rodent. Im not sure if i would be obligated to report them to the health inspector but i would definitely inform my manager if i ever saw anything like that.

Do you make all the batter from scratch in-store, or is it all powdered or shipped in from elsewhere?
