Those Waffle House cooks have to be some of the most talented people in any kitchen in North America. Sure the food is super simple to prepare, but the way they are able to handle the stress and rush should be studied so that we can learn to apply it to our own lives. I love watching the servers call out orders while the cook never misses a beat and prepares everything without writing anything down or even looking at a ticket.

Waffle House employees in general are just made differently. The amount of crazies the front of the house workers have to deal with is insane. I used to live by a Waffle House and watching the variety of people enter that place was a show in itself.

  Agreed. Law enforcement officers in our country could learn a great deal about conflict resolution by studying Waffle House employees.

    This kind of assumes law enforcement is currently failing at something and they are not. The violence and terror they use to enforce order is a large part of their purpose, not an unfortunate failure.

      You’re right. My mother, herself a career long LEO, taught me something very early on in life: violence is the ultimate authority in this world. I imagine she learned that from her job.

One of the most mind blowing things is how they have encoded the order into the orientation of condiments arranged around the plate. A grape jelly at the top of the plate with two pickles next to that, and a mayo on the right actually means something.

we stuffed 45 people in a waffle house and the 4 cooks on the graveyard shift served everyone within 30 minutes. waffle house employees are simply built different. edit: proof https://twitter.com/thejakenixon/status/1546137641829257219?s=20&t=XdVIHyhmv9lZ3grT5OZpEA https://twitter.com/thejakenixon/status/1546137641829257219?...

my dad made the very astute observation one bleary eyed morning that they've designed it so that the cooks can be illiterate
