Waffle House closes 413 locations - things just got real for the red states

Waffle House Index indicates how bad things are. They have incredible resiliency plans and can reopen after a hurricane or other major event with trailers and generators if need be. Waffle House closing and converting to take out only is a big deal. FEMA looks to Waffle House closure areas as high priority areas

Well this is sure bad news for the drunk fatsos out there.

This is a big deal. In many southern towns, "Waffle House" is the equivalent of the local pub, and it's the only full-service restaurant for miles.

Is Waffle House kind of like Howard Johnson? That’s all I can picture...

Is there a list of the closures?

by Anonymousreply 6March 25, 2020 11:56 PM

I went to Waffle House for the first time a few months ago. They are small donut-shop sized rectangular buildings usually with no more than 8-10 booths and/our tables and around 6 counter seats. They are in literallyy in every neighbor and busy because they are so small. They seem well-run and have low prices. Lots of pancales, waffles and had brown sold there!

**pancakes, waffles and HASH BROWNS

Is it like an even crappier IHOP?

by Anonymousreply 9March 26, 2020 12:10 AM

They're just now closing? After their trucker clientele has been carrying the virus from state to state for weeks?

Wish we had some in California (when they're open, of course.)

Oh no. The poor MAGAts will have to figure out how to combine flour, water and sugar. Poor MAGAts.

We went once in orlando, it was terrible. Everything was ala cart and expensive for what you got (no that the red necks there would know what ala cart meant). Shitty food. Won't be missed.

R9 No, their food is 100x better than IHOP. If anything IHOP is a larger crappier Waffle House.

Just realized this was from last year, why did someone revive this thread?

R17, many threads are active for several years . You must be new here

OPs link eventually links to a map---they are mostly along the Gulf Coast an in the more northerly part of their range---i.e., an area dependent on tourism and places where WH isn't that established.

R18 I know that, it just seems like a strange one to revive.

White Trash Carbfest

This is what happens when a lying grifter, Dump, gets elected as US president. His followers will be hurt the most, hell, they are being hurt right now. Non-mask wearing morons getting Covid, while that POS orange bastard got top of the line healthcare treatment when he contracted Covid. I cannot feel sorry for his fanbase.

Most intelligent New Yorkers always knew that imbecile was always all out for himself, his vile family and his like-minded rich corrupt cronies.

That orange POS claimed he was going to 'drain the swamp', yet FILLED his cabinet with the most corrupt grifters he could find. An EPA head who was all for dumping more chemicals, a healthcare head who was more abut helping the billion dollar healthcare industry than lowering healthcare costs, a loony toon head of education who wanted to bring religion into the public school system, a NYC party planner who was going to 'help' NYCHA, the list goes on.

Most of the blatant grifters Dump hired wanted to dismantle the agencies they were heading, to take away needed funds and line their own greasy pockets. Dump's followers were and are way too stupid to comprehend ANY of this.

His fanbase of ignorant voters deserve everything which is happening to them.

The "Oh dear" troll is fucking tedious.

Not as much as illiterate white trash.

He could be black trash, latin trash or Asian trash, R25, you never know.

Did you go once in Orlando, r15 dear? And you had to order “ala cart ... ala cart,” did you really? (It’s “à la carte” dear one, but do go on about the “red necks.”)

by Anonymousreply 27April 12, 2021 4:01 AM

Huge risk for an employer to expose it employees to morons who won't get vaccinated but also refuse to wear masks or socially distance. More cost-effective to close and only offer takeout.
