I just imagine like, Japanese tourists lining up to take pictures at a Waffle House hoping there will be a throwdown because it's that much of an American experience
As an Australian that's literally my thinking right now. "Damn, next time I go to see my friend, I definitely wanna see what a Waffle House looks like"
that's a joke in the movie "Crocodile dundee 2" there is this fight in a subway and there are these tourists taking selfies of them self and the carnage.
As a former Waffle House employee. There have been plenty of these and most never made it to the internet, unfortunately. You could probably form an entire documentary series on it. I once saw my former employee throw a customer through the glass window of the store. I've seen knives, guns, an even a screwdriver pulled in altercations. It's really the wild west of the fast food world. Which is saying a alot.
The one's at mine have really been "almosts" from the other employees, we had a drunk guy spill his chocolate milk and on his way admit to strangling a woman to death, Popeyes manager pulling up in a Corvette wanting all the smoke, and a man screaming the n word at me because he didn't want one of my cooks to cook his food. And that's just what I remember off the top of my head
Specially it is hard to watch these fights when the staff are young folks just trynna make it or taking the job to help the family while their own people trash on them for something as stupid as missing a side item on the order, or not putting enough butter on the waffles. Like WTF. I have a good friend and love her to death, she worked in a Waffle House only for like 5 months until she dealt with this obnoxious big fat whale for no good reason. My friend just said she thinks it was because she was skinny and pretty and the woman was big and ugly (funny as hell). She had to call the cops but the fat gremlin already had left the establishment. WITHOUT PAYING. Worst part was her boss, or manager. He gave two shits about the situation and told her something like "you white folks complain about everything" or some racist crap like that. Almost made me wanna pay a visit to the guy. Anyways. I wouldn't recommend going to Waffle House after 8PM at least. Anywhere. Besides the food is just decent but nothing like out of the ordinary.
true i got threatened with a knife working the cash register because someones dog barked at him in the line, we took his money then called the cops, free meal!
During a particularly bad snowfall in southern Appalachia, my brother once spent 6 consecutive days spending the night at the waffle house he was managing. He was the only one cooking for 80% of that time and was bathing with restroom sinks and ate only eggs for the duration. I'm in the industry and those places are true warzones if you get sucked in.
The severity of Covid during the pandemic didn't really sink in until I tried going to Waffle House at midnight and they were closed. Top 10 insane things I've ever seen, didn't even know it was possible. Shaken to my core.
Hey, you ever seen a group of people doing a drag race and circles outside the restaurant at night after stealing another customer's food? my god, it was every night. and in the morning, all i would see is tire tracks running around the parking lot with some going near poles. 🤣you know what that means
As a former employee of Waffle House, I confess to getting into a food fight in the store. We just used eggs and water, but it was one of the most joyous occurrences I remember from working there.
Charlie, as a Floridian, you should know that Waffle Houses are known for more than fights… they’re also for gauging evacuation probability for hurricanes. If the Waffle House is still open, you’re good. If it’s closed, start praying whole packing the car.
As a overnight Waffle House employee, we stay open during all emergencies because it’s SUPPOSED to be a family friendly place for all people. But honestly I completely understand why other employees fight customers because some of the shit people do at Waffle House are way worse than any other restaurant I have worked at
Imagine a Waffle House Throwdown during an escalating yellow to red alert during a Category 4 Hurricane. Sounds like an incredible experience. You could just watch the fight while chowing down on waffles and enjoying the sights and sounds of the storm outside, soon to be inside.
That definitely sounds like a Tekken stage, or maybe even a Mortal Kombat stage if you throw in some Aztec architecture and a few impaled skulls. The next time I"m at Waffle House, I need to check the doors and see if they have waterproof seals. Surely that would be the only way for a Waffle House to stay open during a knee-deep flash flood, right?
Waffle House is a very unique and underrated restaurant. I've seen fights happen with outdoor ashtrays, I've seen people be high in illegal states, I've seen men fall from the ceilings. There are a lot of good, poorer waffle houses that have the kindest, most bizarre workers that could cook the best hashbrowns you've ever had. Never underestimate a Waffle house, and always check the prices -- drinks add up fast.
As a former waffle house employee, there is quite literally back up plans for almost any natural disaster. It is something you have to sign a legal document when you do on boarding. There are certain menus for when you're running on generators, the whole thing. It's something we're trained in and, at least when I worked there, if you try to leave/evacuate when the store says they need you they would fire you.
As a Waffle House cook. It baffles me when people really try to fight the workers. I have never seen my coworkers loose. And tbh. I won’t let them loose to nobody.
Former WH Server here-we actually have a "No Power Menu" that we serve in case a WH ever looses power for any reason. Also, the broken plates do get replaced! Each WH is supposed to fill out a "dish count" sheet where the employees count every. single. dish. And then the manager on duty fills either fills it out in the system or requests more dishes if they're missing a bunch. So, if a WH is not replacing or ordering new dishes, that's on the manager lol
@@nerdstop5025 I believe so, and probably for the most important things like the grill cause of I remember correctly waffles was not avaliable on the no power menu lol
In regard to the Waffle House Index, it actually makes a lot of sense because they are a very consistent example of what a well prepared private entity looks like. If Waffle House is closed, it means private scale preparations, even ones laid in advance, are simply not good enough for this situation and a more involved scale of relief is going to need to be required. If Waffle House is closed, that pretty much signals the difference between "the unprepared are not doing great" and "nobody is okay."
When he started talking about how waffle house is built for brawls and how you can go in and scope out your weapons of choice, I just imagine a nutty action-comedy about a street wise spy who knows he's being tailed deciding to go into a waffle house and tipping the server some serious green to initiate an all out brawl to cover up his personal beef against the antagonist. I'd pay to watch that scene alone.
Saw a dude with no arms and legs scoot into a Waffle House on his belly on a skateboard, dude did some sort of flip into a booth and the waitress fed him.
Then again, if you manage to flip into a booth with no arms nor legs you deserve literally everything the restaurant could possibly have to offer for free.
The first and only time I went to a Waffle House, the staff was at each other's throats, screaming at each other and everything. I took refuge at one after my girlfriend broke up with me and after I explained what had happened they quickly became super nice to me. It was like a complete 180. Was really thankful to them for letting me stay there while I got my shit together and figured out a place to stay.
that's strangely wholesome how they can go from a whole melee, plate projective combat to just being super nice and accomodating for your circumstances. Best place to see fights and feel welcomed man.
There's nothing like ordering a Steak and Eggs with chocolate milk at a Waffle House at 3am. The best part is when the sweet lady behind the counter gives you a free refill even when they are supposed to charge for it. Its not a Waffle House, it's a Waffle Home.

Hi Charlie, I live in the South where there was literally a Waffle House across the street from a Waffle House. When Hurricane Michael hit back in 2018, we were travelling along the road to find a Waffle House employee trudging through sidewalks of water in his uniform, and we hitched him. We asked where he was going and he said "home, finally." Apparently, in the middle of the hurricane, he stayed clocked in and hunkered down at the restaurant until everything subsided days later. They're not joking about staying open, come hell or literal high water.
As a native Floridian I gotta be real their bacon /egg/ch melts & hash browns are a gift from the heavens when hungover, there's always a chance of you having to fight for something so wondrous, way of the world.
I also have a waffle house fight experience. Someone pulled a knife on my uncle at waffle house because he asked them to stop cursing in front of his kids (my cousins). The person then pulled a knife and started to shout threats. Police were called but I don't think they were arrested. The manager of the waffle house was very apologetic. The food still slaps
Hell yeah that's the thing often overlooked in people learning of this. Waffle House is actually pretty good. As far as good old fashioned American breakfasts from a chain go Waffle House is the best.
Former Waffle House employee here! I would like to inform you that YES we do actually hire professional announcers to start and sustain fights within our buildings.
"And coming in from the right corner is METH HEAD MIKE! LETS GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR BOY!! Aaaand coming in from this corner is the BRUTAL BUMPKIN BUTCHER, weighing an impressive 250 pounds and full of discount beer and waffles, this tank sure can take a beating. And now without further ado, LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!!"
As a Waffle House employee, we’re never supposed to close. And I’ve seen some of the most outrageous fights working there. So tired of writing statements😭
@@tannie6115 .. we have a lot of people who come into work high or drunk honestly. Most fights I’ve witnessed have been started or egged on by impaired employees.
The one and only time I've been to a waffle house was on a trip to Atlanta. There was a shootout outside the restaurant and 7 (gang members probably) were shot. They even stole someone's car after the fact to drive themselves to the hospital. 10/10 average waffle house experience
@@danihascrabs When ever me and my family were in Atlanta to eat, there was a shooting where a kid got fatally injured and died in the same area we were in that night. Atlanta is bonkers.
They do. That’s what the Waffle House index is. Waffle House actually has a whole meteorology department that is well paid and staffed with top meteorologists. FEMA unofficially uses the Waffle House index to judge severity of natural disasters.
This video reminds me of a story I heard once on Inside Edition, which btw the thumbnail of that story was conveniently shown here at 1:08. Let me tell you all that story. There was this guy named Alex Bowen, who visited Waffle House at 3 am to eat there. As he went inside, there was no one there to take his order, since the overnight employee was sleeping. When he first saw this, instead of waking the employee up, he decided to take matters into his own hands by walking into the kitchen to make his food for himself. He cooked himself a Texas Bacon Cheesesteak Melt. While doing that, he also took selfies/pictures of the place and send them to social media(including the sleeping employee). Once his meal was done and he finished devouring it, he left without paying. The next day, the Waffle House management finds the photos on social media that Alex posted and they were not happy, and because of this course of action, the sleeping employee got suspended and on that same day, Alex went back to pay for the meal that he made.
@@jonathanspalding6973 According to the report, this story took place in West Columbia South Carolina, at least that is what Inside Edition says. Hope that answers your question.
@@madridforever933 Man, if it's taking a few thousand of you to "find dirt", you must not have much going on, lol. Someone needs to go touch some grass.
Where I lived in Pensacola, FL., there was a Waffle House right outside one of the malls ... and another one three blocks away. You could sit in the Waffle House and watch people going in and out of the other Waffle House.
I unironically really like eating at waffle house. It's always good to enjoy the breakfast meals while someone's head is getting slammed against the counter next to you.
@@flyingstonemon3564 I think I'd give it to Waffle House. Waffle House employees, especially the night shift ones, have to know how to fight to some capacity if they plan on working there and being respected. The better you are at throwing punches, the more respected you are on staff. Popeyes employees just give you that "fuck off" look, they don't typically expect you to come at them, while Waffle House employees act nice and reasonable, but are *FULLY* expecting you to snap at the slightest thing.
This isn’t Waffle House but, I remember seeing a comment image of someone saying that iHop is where children have birthday parties while Denny’s is where they’d meet a hit man. I’m assuming Waffle House is the same as Denny’s in this regard, lmao.
As a former waffle house cook and host, you really see some of the funniest things happen in a waffle house. From random fights to someone smacking lips together in the bathroom to singing random songs. Food is very good still!
I had 2 meth heads try to go into the women bathroom to get high one time. Told them they got me meth'd up and need to get out my bathroom now. Thought I was gonna have to fight two meth heads at once, but by that time 4am I was tired of the bullsh*t so I didnt care.
One of my grill cooks almost lost once, but it was a two on one. It nearly became a shooting when they went for weapons. Then two of our regulars joined in and helped beat ass on the attackers and saved him. Then they hopped in a vehicle, went around the building twice shouting slurs, and then sped off.
I remember reading from an employee that if you plan on working any night shifts, you HAVE to know how to fight to some capacity. All the fights and rachet shit that happens at a Waffle House happens at night.
Worked at Waffle House for 5 years and no joke we were still open during a hurricane with no power just wind up flashlights and still continued to cook food for customers. Working there is unpredictable to say the least.
On the bright side, at least we know that people actually call the emergencies when a fight happens. I was suspecting that people only record when this happens.
I work for a heavy equipment company that does disaster relief when it comes about, and we decide when and where to deploy based directly on Waffle House. If Waffle House is still open, we're staying in a hotel and using 4WD vehicles to get to and from the nearest operable branch. If Waffle House is closed, we're probably camping out at the branch and cooking hot dogs with an industrial propane heater
Waffle House: The basis of emergencies since whenever they started working. But honestly, props to you and your coworkers and executives for doing all that.
Reminder: The Waffle House index is a scale of how bad a storm or disaster will affect an area. This because Waffle House supposedly can go into disaster relief or low supply mode waaay before closing. Waffle House closed? Run.
As a former cook for waffle House I can attest to everything that has been shown in this video. This is completely accurate as well as the hurricane index I worked through hurricane Irma a couple years back myself.
Some guy in the comments said we need a Waffle House fight simulator. I would add in an occasional natural disaster incident where you have to prepare and serve waffles on a generator while the roof is getting torn apart by a hurricane.
Well, in space travel, Waffle Houses can get set up on asteroids or space ports. They are made to endure and improvise in so many environments, so on the way to a station in Jupiter, stop by the WF on one of the moons for dining and restock so the ship can be lighter without being burdened by the weight of too much food stores. It all adds weight! And the astronauts will be heading back to earth living on freeze dried waffles and bacon stores...
I went to a waffle house like once, and it was great. There was no one else there. I ordered a couple of eggs and a couple of pieces of bacon and also a couple of waffles. I went at 3 AM and they gave me two extra eggs and two extra pieces of bacon for no extra cost. It was absolutely like the best restaurant experience of all time.
i remember going to waffle house once and there were some workers already fighting when i walked in but the rest of the staff was completely ignoring them and serving patrons like everything was normal 💀
He hasn’t really had constant spikes, in popularity, over the past two to three months, but these comment sections almost always are extremely active. Just a matter of how strategic you expect the limp dicks, behind these accounts, to actually be, most likely.
When my Mother was young she worked at a diner, that was somewhat like a Waffle House. Apparently a guy kept calling her the B word, and she finally had enough and told the other workers, "I have to go take care of something." So she chased him down, and beat the hell out of him in the middle of the street. His Father thanked her for doing it.
I’m so glad someone told Charlie about the Waffle House Index. I actually thought it had 4 levels instead of 3. Green- The Waffle House is open Yellow- The Waffle House is on a generator Red- The Waffle House is closed Black- THE WAFFLE HOUSE IS GONE 🤣
I went to Waffle House with a few people a few years ago and there was so much chaos that was happening in the restaurant. There were customers arguing with staff and the staff arguing amongst themselves. In the midst of the chaos, the manager there gave us full control of the music, gave us unlimited chocolate chips and were very nice to us. It was the most confusing experience.
The fact that a FEMA director publicly floated the Waffle House Index is truly something. I'm not sure if that amuses or depresses me, or maybe both. I am now convinced that Waffle House must be a manifestation of a circle of hell that you will get banished to if you don't play your cards right.
I literally just got in a fight at a waffle house a few days ago. I work at as a manager at a theater and I often times don't get off work until early hours of the morning. It was about 1am I had just gotten off work and I was hungry so I drove to the nearest wafflehouse. When I arrived I noticed the place was unusually busy and there seemed to be some kind of commotion. That's when I found out that just moments before I had arrived the cook had walked out in the middle of service and quit. So now there was no one to cook the food. A group of customers decided in retaliation that they were going to try to steal cups and napkin dispensers and basically anything they could get their hands on. That's when I stepped up to the group and told them to put that stuff back. Next thing I know one of them starts swinging at me. In the end I got them their stuff back but I unfortunately went home hungry.
Ok I got to know as I find this quite strange can you tell me why is it so important they stay open during hurricanes etc and why only after full destruction do they close?
Me and a couple friends were at a waffle house once, a bit on the drunk side and we heard a argument break out and the table next to us said "you white folks mite want to leave fast". We each gave our waitress a 20 as we got up and left, without ever getting our food we had ordered or even a bill. The next day we here that two people were taken to the hospital, one white and one black and the fight started after the white guy made a racist remark. Never been in one since.
I'm a 3rd shift supervisor (basically a cook) and I've worked every shift and I can confirm that we only closed twice when we were forced to for deep cleaning. Extra thing! I've seen a couple of shouting matches and a lot of unreasonable people and even a shootout but surprisingly no fist fights
The first rule of Waffle House Fight Club - You do NOT steal handfuls of the complimentary packets of maple syrup while everyone's attention is on the combat taking place.
i was a touring musician for 8 years and waffle house was a staple whenever we were in the south of the states. ive seen so many felonies. including an actual murder happen inside of waffle house. would recommend.
Unless the building is completely leveled waffle House generally stay open after natural disasters. The reason for this is the entire store can be ran off of a built-in generator that runs on natural gas, they use gas stoves which don't require power, and they even have specific menus that are different from the normal menus that are easier to cook when they have a limited kitchen. As a search and rescue worker we oftentimes call a waffle House in the area to get a situation report. Waffle House is awesome.
My own personal waffle house story is on a mid december day where a snow storm hit us. Naturally, all of the power from miles around was out so I decided to get out of my slowly freezing house to the freezing out doors where I could meet the kind fellows I met along the road walking to the QT a mile or so away. We built a snowman together, it was lovely. As we continued on, there were a man with mighty moustache who had a truck with a gas engine on the back that was slowly making his way down the mostly iced over road with waffle house paraphernalia about his person. It gave us all the bright idea of peppering his truck with snowballs, which we proceeded to do with about a dozen or so other people who were already doing that to passing cars braving the icy roads. As we made it to the QT, some folk disbanded our growing party for their home, but not us. We four remaining pressed on to Waffle House where I along with my 3 new friends that I had just met on the way to this waffle house were all paid for our food by some other random guy we met who helped me out of a snow trap that I had fallen in making my way into the fine establishment that was packed. The man with the truck had gotten the generator from his house to power the Waffle House, and it was booming with good cheer. As we left, however, the greasy breakfast that was my 2 egg breakfast with scattered well hashbrowns and raisin toast with a side of sausage quickly liquidated my insides with the 2 or so mile trek back to home. Where 2 of our company would stop off at the QT to evacuate their bowels before the mile remaining, the grumble of my stomach would not be felt until half a mile later. Thankfully I was not alone, 1 of the others of our group of 4 that had made our way back also had to unload his brown goo at about similar time. Tip toeing our way with butt cheeks clenched to home, we fondly found the face of our Snowman - 9 feet tall in all it's splendor - to completely ignore it so they could head home and the other fellow could hurry to take the greasiest shit of his life. I was not so lucky, though... my home was but another half a mile or so away, and though my butt cheeks were strong, they were not strong enough to hold in that of the House of the Waffle. No sir, I dare not shit my pants though at the ripe young age of 21 so I ran into the woods in darkness and squatted behind a bush where I could not see. Though my squat was good - my balance was horrid and I fell into that bush that I had come to find was not just any bush - but a bush of thorns. My ass, now stabbed and cut up in a mess, was finally able to find relief at the cost of a new type of pain. It took an hour once I was home to pull the thorns out, and I still can hear my own wailing in doing so to this day.
Uh oh. Don't tell me that you fed that already wicked thornbush with your own drizzly, Waffle-House-infused feces! That thornbush is going to double in size, become an aggressive maneater with a leopard's cunning and maybe even turn venomous! Woe betide the _next_ diner who desperately bolts into the woods while failing to contain a Waffle House scatbomb! 😬

Cool thing about the index, after hurricane Katrina, Waffle house in my area was basically torn down for the most part. Because of this, Waffle House basically air dropped a trailer with cooking equipment and had professional disaster cooks come in to cook out of the trailer.
Waffle House is the most powerful institution in America. It's always open, even during natural disasters, always slightly dirty, the food is consistent, and the employees are ready to engage in combat against belligerent drunks at a moment's notice. It's a magical place, and I'll take a triple scattered hashbrowns smothered, covered, and chunked.
I went on a "road trip" with my parents across the states 9ish years ago, from Arizona to north Carolina for personal business and we stopped at every waffle house we could find they were so delicious and they were always the sweetest older ladies working making it feel like a real old time diner throwin out welcome sugar and doll and was just all around a pleasant experience. I've never had a bad waffle house experience. How times have changed I guess. lmao
It’s two different worlds, daytime is nice and pleasant. After the bars close the customers are drunk mean and ignorant and the staff will kick your butt if u have an attitude. 😎
I used to work night shift at a waffle house in a military town (Norfolk, VA) and there were always fights. One drunk girl even got on the table and twerked, then slipped and sprained her ankle. I never knew what I was going into on the weekends.
Waffle House gets a lot of criticism for their food, but the quality completely depends on the specific cook. If you walk in at 3am and see a grumpy old dude with a stained apron and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth working the griddle you know you're about to have some FIRE.
Can confirm about the hurricanes. I live on the gulf coast and every time we are hit by a hurricane, right after, even with no electricity, Waffle House is always open to serve hot food at a discount price. Once they gave away bags of Texas Toast and blocks of cheese to us. When Texas was hit by the big freeze because our grid sucks, Waffle House was open and cooking and the staff was dancing around to keep warm. It is wild here.

I can only remember one time I've ever been to a Waffle House. No fights, but the two employees were so absorbed in their banter with each other--which we could all hear--that they weren't focusing in what they were doing and the customer service was unbelievably slow.
My waffle house story was needing to get out of the house for a bit for a chance of scenery while studying. So I took my chemistry book to the nearest waffle house, ordered my food, and settled in to study. Except the cook kept trying to talk to me while I'm taking my chem notes. Weird questions too and he asked me where I worked and if my job was hiring. The waitress had to yell at him three times to leave me a alone and he still tried talking to me even as I paid for my food and left.
"Here's our Featherweight table. You can fight anyone over here, but if you cross over here you're getting 5 plates thrown at you" Holy shit I died laughing 😂😂😭
I went to Waffle House one time and the cooks were clearly tense with each other and they kept saying passive aggressive stuff to each other over the course of about 20 minutes and as I was leaving they started throwing fists. It was nice of them to finish cooking my eggs and let me pay before they blew up

I have a good friend and love her to death, she worked in a Waffle House only for like 5 months until she dealt with this obnoxious big fat whale for no good reason. My friend just said she thinks it was because she was skinny and pretty and the woman was big and ugly (funny as hell). She had to call the cops but the fat gremlin already had left the establishment. WITHOUT PAYING.
Worst part was her boss, or manager. He gave two shits about the situation and told her something like "you white folks complain about everything" or some racist crap like that. Almost made me wanna pay a visit to the guy.
Anyways. I wouldn't recommend going to Waffle House after 8PM at least. Anywhere. Besides the food is just decent but nothing like out of the ordinary.

During a particularly bad snowfall in southern Appalachia, my brother once spent 6 consecutive days spending the night at the waffle house he was managing. He was the only one cooking for 80% of that time and was bathing with restroom sinks and ate only eggs for the duration. I'm in the industry and those places are true warzones if you get sucked in.

Waffle House is a very unique and underrated restaurant. I've seen fights happen with outdoor ashtrays, I've seen people be high in illegal states, I've seen men fall from the ceilings. There are a lot of good, poorer waffle houses that have the kindest, most bizarre workers that could cook the best hashbrowns you've ever had. Never underestimate a Waffle house, and always check the prices -- drinks add up fast.
Can confirm, I am one of these people who went to Waffle House high as fuck. Truly a gift from the Gods, that place.

@@coreythepeanut always the rural ones - jukebox ones especially

@@PrinceTancred true, but blatantly
As a former waffle house employee, there is quite literally back up plans for almost any natural disaster. It is something you have to sign a legal document when you do on boarding. There are certain menus for when you're running on generators, the whole thing. It's something we're trained in and, at least when I worked there, if you try to leave/evacuate when the store says they need you they would fire you.
Been through a snow storm and two hurricanes on the 2.5 shift.
You guys have a plan for WW3, or do I need to go somewhere else for my post-apocalyptic breakfast?
You could grab some hashbrowns and eggs 🤷nothing like waffle house grease to get you ready.

Former WH Server here-we actually have a "No Power Menu" that we serve in case a WH ever looses power for any reason. Also, the broken plates do get replaced! Each WH is supposed to fill out a "dish count" sheet where the employees count every. single. dish. And then the manager on duty fills either fills it out in the system or requests more dishes if they're missing a bunch. So, if a WH is not replacing or ordering new dishes, that's on the manager lol

In regard to the Waffle House Index, it actually makes a lot of sense because they are a very consistent example of what a well prepared private entity looks like. If Waffle House is closed, it means private scale preparations, even ones laid in advance, are simply not good enough for this situation and a more involved scale of relief is going to need to be required. If Waffle House is closed, that pretty much signals the difference between "the unprepared are not doing great" and "nobody is okay."

Hi Charlie, I live in the South where there was literally a Waffle House across the street from a Waffle House. When Hurricane Michael hit back in 2018, we were travelling along the road to find a Waffle House employee trudging through sidewalks of water in his uniform, and we hitched him. We asked where he was going and he said "home, finally."
Apparently, in the middle of the hurricane, he stayed clocked in and hunkered down at the restaurant until everything subsided days later. They're not joking about staying open, come hell or literal high water.

I must be going to the wrong waffle houses. They’re always peaceful when I go.
I also have a waffle house fight experience. Someone pulled a knife on my uncle at waffle house because he asked them to stop cursing in front of his kids (my cousins). The person then pulled a knife and started to shout threats. Police were called but I don't think they were arrested. The manager of the waffle house was very apologetic. The food still slaps
And thats why we dont talk to strangers, kids.
I mean, if you ask a stranger in a waffle house to stop cursing, you're basically just challenging them to combat.

There’s actually a unit of measurement for that lol, based on the waffle houses condition.

They do. That’s what the Waffle House index is. Waffle House actually has a whole meteorology department that is well paid and staffed with top meteorologists. FEMA unofficially uses the Waffle House index to judge severity of natural disasters.
“We’ve just gotten word that Waffle House has closed in preparation for the tsunami, God help us all”
@@Man-lt9hc wait really? what is the unit of measurement? please elaborate bc this raises so many questions now.
This video reminds me of a story I heard once on Inside Edition, which btw the thumbnail of that story was conveniently shown here at 1:08. Let me tell you all that story. There was this guy named Alex Bowen, who visited Waffle House at 3 am to eat there. As he went inside, there was no one there to take his order, since the overnight employee was sleeping. When he first saw this, instead of waking the employee up, he decided to take matters into his own hands by walking into the kitchen to make his food for himself.
He cooked himself a Texas Bacon Cheesesteak Melt. While doing that, he also took selfies/pictures of the place and send them to social media(including the sleeping employee). Once his meal was done and he finished devouring it, he left without paying.
The next day, the Waffle House management finds the photos on social media that Alex posted and they were not happy, and because of this course of action, the sleeping employee got suspended and on that same day, Alex went back to pay for the meal that he made.
That is absolutely glorious.
I'll assume it's in the US, so what state did it happen in?

Worked at Waffle House for 5 years and no joke we were still open during a hurricane with no power just wind up flashlights and still continued to cook food for customers. Working there is unpredictable to say the least.

As someone who works as a dispatcher, walmart and waffle house are the king and queen of petty fights, domestics and robberies.
On the bright side, at least we know that people actually call the emergencies when a fight happens. I was suspecting that people only record when this happens.
I work for a heavy equipment company that does disaster relief when it comes about, and we decide when and where to deploy based directly on Waffle House. If Waffle House is still open, we're staying in a hotel and using 4WD vehicles to get to and from the nearest operable branch. If Waffle House is closed, we're probably camping out at the branch and cooking hot dogs with an industrial propane heater
Waffle House: The basis of emergencies since whenever they started working.
But honestly, props to you and your coworkers and executives for doing all that.
“I feel bad for the customers” I feel bad for the employees that gotta stay and clean all that shit up 💀
Reminder: The Waffle House index is a scale of how bad a storm or disaster will affect an area. This because Waffle House supposedly can go into disaster relief or low supply mode waaay before closing. Waffle House closed? Run.
See I didn't expect Charlie to bring this up 3 minutes ago when I was 3 minutes into the video

Well, in space travel, Waffle Houses can get set up on asteroids or space ports. They are made to endure and improvise in so many environments, so on the way to a station in Jupiter, stop by the WF on one of the moons for dining and restock so the ship can be lighter without being burdened by the weight of too much food stores. It all adds weight! And the astronauts will be heading back to earth living on freeze dried waffles and bacon stores...
I went to a waffle house like once, and it was great. There was no one else there. I ordered a couple of eggs and a couple of pieces of bacon and also a couple of waffles. I went at 3 AM and they gave me two extra eggs and two extra pieces of bacon for no extra cost. It was absolutely like the best restaurant experience of all time.

I went to Waffle House with a few people a few years ago and there was so much chaos that was happening in the restaurant. There were customers arguing with staff and the staff arguing amongst themselves.

The fact that a FEMA director publicly floated the Waffle House Index is truly something. I'm not sure if that amuses or depresses me, or maybe both. I am now convinced that Waffle House must be a manifestation of a circle of hell that you will get banished to if you don't play your cards right.
I literally just got in a fight at a waffle house a few days ago.
I work at as a manager at a theater and I often times don't get off work until early hours of the morning. It was about 1am I had just gotten off work and I was hungry so I drove to the nearest wafflehouse. When I arrived I noticed the place was unusually busy and there seemed to be some kind of commotion.
That's when I found out that just moments before I had arrived the cook had walked out in the middle of service and quit. So now there was no one to cook the food.
A group of customers decided in retaliation that they were going to try to steal cups and napkin dispensers and basically anything they could get their hands on. That's when I stepped up to the group and told them to put that stuff back.
Next thing I know one of them starts swinging at me.
In the end I got them their stuff back but I unfortunately went home hungry.
Big respect for that.
Sounds like you had a diverse experience.

The first rule of Waffle House Fight Club - You do NOT steal handfuls of the complimentary packets of maple syrup while everyone's attention is on the combat taking place.
i was a touring musician for 8 years and waffle house was a staple whenever we were in the south of the states. ive seen so many felonies. including an actual murder happen inside of waffle house. would recommend.
Were you questioned as a witness for that?? Sounds pretty wild
What'd you play? Also holy crap
Average British evening

We need justice for the Waffle House victims 😔

I mean they do get dinner and a show 😅
Including pnb rock I pray we find who did that shit
That’s there fault. Don’t walk into the Thunderdome without expecting problems. 2 men enter, 1 man leaves
Unless the building is completely leveled waffle House generally stay open after natural disasters. The reason for this is the entire store can be ran off of a built-in generator that runs on natural gas, they use gas stoves which don't require power, and they even have specific menus that are different from the normal menus that are easier to cook when they have a limited kitchen. As a search and rescue worker we oftentimes call a waffle House in the area to get a situation report. Waffle House is awesome.
7:16 you don't apply to work at waffle house, you get drafted.
it's like jury duty
My own personal waffle house story is on a mid december day where a snow storm hit us. Naturally, all of the power from miles around was out so I decided to get out of my slowly freezing house to the freezing out doors where I could meet the kind fellows I met along the road walking to the QT a mile or so away. We built a snowman together, it was lovely. As we continued on, there were a man with mighty moustache who had a truck with a gas engine on the back that was slowly making his way down the mostly iced over road with waffle house paraphernalia about his person. It gave us all the bright idea of peppering his truck with snowballs, which we proceeded to do with about a dozen or so other people who were already doing that to passing cars braving the icy roads.
As we made it to the QT, some folk disbanded our growing party for their home, but not us. We four remaining pressed on to Waffle House where I along with my 3 new friends that I had just met on the way to this waffle house were all paid for our food by some other random guy we met who helped me out of a snow trap that I had fallen in making my way into the fine establishment that was packed. The man with the truck had gotten the generator from his house to power the Waffle House, and it was booming with good cheer. As we left, however, the greasy breakfast that was my 2 egg breakfast with scattered well hashbrowns and raisin toast with a side of sausage quickly liquidated my insides with the 2 or so mile trek back to home. Where 2 of our company would stop off at the QT to evacuate their bowels before the mile remaining, the grumble of my stomach would not be felt until half a mile later.
Thankfully I was not alone, 1 of the others of our group of 4 that had made our way back also had to unload his brown goo at about similar time. Tip toeing our way with butt cheeks clenched to home, we fondly found the face of our Snowman - 9 feet tall in all it's splendor - to completely ignore it so they could head home and the other fellow could hurry to take the greasiest shit of his life. I was not so lucky, though... my home was but another half a mile or so away, and though my butt cheeks were strong, they were not strong enough to hold in that of the House of the Waffle. No sir, I dare not shit my pants though at the ripe young age of 21 so I ran into the woods in darkness and squatted behind a bush where I could not see. Though my squat was good - my balance was horrid and I fell into that bush that I had come to find was not just any bush - but a bush of thorns. My ass, now stabbed and cut up in a mess, was finally able to find relief at the cost of a new type of pain. It took an hour once I was home to pull the thorns out, and I still can hear my own wailing in doing so to this day.
That was an adventure. Thank you for that.
What an epic tale of friendship, triumph and pain😂🤣
I’m so glad I went past the top comments to find this hidden gem, thank you for this
Uh oh. Don't tell me that you fed that already wicked thornbush with your own drizzly, Waffle-House-infused feces! That thornbush is going to double in size, become an aggressive maneater with a leopard's cunning and maybe even turn venomous! Woe betide the _next_ diner who desperately bolts into the woods while failing to contain a Waffle House scatbomb! 😬
Sounds like a fucking Diary of a Wimpy Kid story dialed up to The EXTREME
You got a like from me, my guy. That was fucking hilarious. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go get my inhaler before I suffocate to death.
fun real fact: waffle houses stay open during the worst natural disasters if a waffle house is closed you know you’re done
i bet that destroyed waffle house in biloxi mississippi was open during hurricane katrina
@@aaronlane8276 they literally try to stay open it’s ridiculous i commented this before he got to the full wiki page about it lmao
Sam O nella taught me this 😌 I miss our king
@@aaronlane8276 I don't know why but I can imagine the mission from mw2 where you had to protect the burger Town but it's waffale house instead and the employees are still working.
“Can I get a waffle? Can I *PLEASE* get a waffle?!”
When I was a young kid my dad brought me and my older sister to Waffle House in order to teach us “how most Americans live.” One of the most strange moments in my life
That's actually so fucking funny hahahha
I love watching waffle house fights. One of the most underappreciated genre of fight videos out there, so entertaining and chaotic
Chuck-e-cheez one are great aswell.
We are so lucky to live in such diverse and inclusive times yall.

I didn't even know Waffle House existed until Jesse mentioned it in Breaking Bad.
Damn there’s so many people better than charlie. Wow! That’s crazy!
didn’t i just see you on a jerma video and ask to do another cook waltuh
Cool thing about the index, after hurricane Katrina, Waffle house in my area was basically torn down for the most part. Because of this, Waffle House basically air dropped a trailer with cooking equipment and had professional disaster cooks come in to cook out of the trailer.
Waffle House is the most powerful institution in America. It's always open, even during natural disasters, always slightly dirty, the food is consistent, and the employees are ready to engage in combat against belligerent drunks at a moment's notice. It's a magical place, and I'll take a triple scattered hashbrowns smothered, covered, and chunked.
Those patty melts though…
I mean, the food might be mediocre at best but it's affordable, consistent, and always there. It is the Rock of Gibraltar of restaurants.
I'm amazed waffles house hasn't yet tried to switch its tableware from glass to paper
Or steel, so they can withstand the constant brawls.
@@apersononlineyes6554 there’s not enough people actually buying food for them to afford that much steel
I went on a "road trip" with my parents across the states 9ish years ago, from Arizona to north Carolina for personal business and we stopped at every waffle house we could find they were so delicious and they were always the sweetest older ladies working making it feel like a real old time diner throwin out welcome sugar and doll and was just all around a pleasant experience. I've never had a bad waffle house experience. How times have changed I guess. lmao
you went to all the fancy jukebox rural ones and dodged the ones in the gettos by going through that stretch of states.
Go to one in Detroit and see how nice the old ladies are there
It’s two different worlds, daytime is nice and pleasant. After the bars close the customers are drunk mean and ignorant and the staff will kick your butt if u have an attitude. 😎
I used to work night shift at a waffle house in a military town (Norfolk, VA) and there were always fights. One drunk girl even got on the table and twerked, then slipped and sprained her ankle. I never knew what I was going into on the weekends.
Waffle House gets a lot of criticism for their food, but the quality completely depends on the specific cook. If you walk in at 3am and see a grumpy old dude with a stained apron and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth working the griddle you know you're about to have some FIRE.
Can confirm about the hurricanes. I live on the gulf coast and every time we are hit by a hurricane, right after, even with no electricity, Waffle House is always open to serve hot food at a discount price. Once they gave away bags of Texas Toast and blocks of cheese to us. When Texas was hit by the big freeze because our grid sucks, Waffle House was open and cooking and the staff was dancing around to keep warm. It is wild here.
I'm a firm believer if you want to be an American citizen part of the process is you have to experience and survive a Waffle House outing.
I was born in the waffle house, molded by it, you merely adopted the waffle house
Then I’m a true Patriot.

Can I pleaaase get a waffle
When Charlie read the index, I never laughed harder in my lige
I can only remember one time I've ever been to a Waffle House. No fights, but the two employees were so absorbed in their banter with each other--which we could all hear--that they weren't focusing in what they were doing and the customer service was unbelievably slow.
My waffle house story was needing to get out of the house for a bit for a chance of scenery while studying. So I took my chemistry book to the nearest waffle house, ordered my food, and settled in to study. Except the cook kept trying to talk to me while I'm taking my chem notes. Weird questions too and he asked me where I worked and if my job was hiring. The waitress had to yell at him three times to leave me a alone and he still tried talking to me even as I paid for my food and left.
Sounds like a cry for help
He was trying to body swap with you and escape.
"Here's our Featherweight table. You can fight anyone over here, but if you cross over here you're getting 5 plates thrown at you"
Holy shit I died laughing 😂😂😭

It’s a wafffle home lol
I went to Waffle House one time and the cooks were clearly tense with each other and they kept saying passive aggressive stuff to each other over the course of about 20 minutes and as I was leaving they started throwing fists. It was nice of them to finish cooking my eggs and let me pay before they blew up
