Ok. I need to know why everyone is seemingly agreeing that waffle house is the winner.
Context. I've never even seen a waffle house. Do they not serve waffles? Laced with cocain or what?
Breakfast cafés go downtown. IHOP likes to hang out with Olive Garden and Chili’s. Dennie’s is for old people. Waffle House will go places where the gas stations have bulletproof glass. They are in places where people need cheap food at 2:30 am. Waffle House is for travelers and partiers. They are for the unemployed, self employed, third shift or just shifty. Being open 24/7 makes them a place to be. Somewhere you can go to. Occasionally there are people who need to go somewhere and they are a little stressed out, a little wound up. Maybe a few screws loose they try to fix by huffing the thread locker. Getting a little glue to fix the cracks. So the staff is people who will work at a place that has crazy show up at 3am. They tend to be a bit gangster.
So to this question, a customer from Waffle House who would start a fight is someone who is willing to fight the entire staff in one go and usually doesn’t stop till they catch a barstool to the head.
That said, don’t be afraid to go to a Waffle House. They are exactly what it says on the box. Waffle and coffee, cheap. Most people there are happy, tired, and/or want to be left alone.
I can't go to a waffle house because they don't exist in my corner of the world. And you know what. I'm OK with that. But thank you for that lovely description
Odds are there at any given time, there already is a fight going on in a waffle house
