Waffle House, no contest.

They brought a gun, because they were going to Waffle House and they might need one.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

It looks like Waffle House at first, but then Dollar General just bodies them at the end.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Yeah everyone is saying wafflehouse no question, but that's not true. The waffle house brawler is crazy. Dangerous. Likely drugged up. But the dude from dollar general has a gun. He wins.

Waffle House customer will get at least one kill with their open carry revolver, before getting dropped by Taco Bell's concealed carry. One of the Albertsons or ALDI customers sacrifices themselves taking the Taco Bell customer out. The other one of the two happened to be a pensioner, who is largely ignored as the rest fight it out until the Walmart customer, being the most experienced at retail brawls, notices that the pensioner is old enough to maybe have gotten a labubu-me-flatscreen. But the Popeyes customer will win by having the sense to hide and grab the Kroger customer's actual metal credit card needed to afford their monopoly fixed prices, and slice the Walmart customer while they are still trying to beat a furby baby out of Albertson's corpse.

Waffle House

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 19 hours ago

Waffle House wins with Popeyes a close second.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 9 points 20 hours ago

I was about to comment "walmart" because People Of Walmart exists, but then I saw Waffle House.

I think the choice is obvious.

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

It's a final battle between Waffle House and Popeyes and it isn't even close. Waffle House wins.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Odds are there at any given time, there already is a fight going on in a waffle house

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Depends on the time they are picked. A 2am Waffle House customer wins every time.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Clearly op isn't a waffle house customer

[–] lookitsjustin@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I'm Canadian so I haven't patronized at least 4 of these brands. With that in mind, I think an absolutely batshit Walmart customer would win.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Waffle House every single time.

[–] Generica@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Undoubtedly. Waffle House bitches fight dirty

[–] sketchyenchantment@sh.itjust.works 249 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Experience goes to Waffle House

I’ve never even been to waffle house and I knew the answer was waffle house

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I've been to Waffle Houses across the South and Midwest and yes, the answer is Waffle House

It's not even close

[–] DementedSociety@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Came here to say this. No competition. Them mfs seen some shit.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ve never been in a waffle house, nor do I even know what it is (I’m assuming it’s a breakfast restaurant but I have no idea) and I knew that was the answer. It has a reputation larger than its business.

[–] evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's a restaurant chain that is almost always open to the point that there are some locations that didn't even have locks on their doors until covid forced them to shit down.

If the power goes out, they switch to a gas only menu. If gas goes out, they switch to an electric only menu.

The food is not great, but very often the only option in a given town in the middle of the night. Sometimes, it's what you need.

All these pussies would lose to anyone who even accidentally set foot in a Chuck E Cheese.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It would entirely depend on the time of day and or date.

Night? Waffle House, no contest

Lunch? Popeyes.

Black Friday? Walmart

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why are there so many brands in my memes?

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago
[–] mappe@moplemmy.fyi 101 points 1 day ago

Oh please, this is no contest. Only one of these is literally a disaster index metric. Waffle House will throw down.

[–] SPRUNTnsfw@fedinsfw.app 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How did that other post describe it...?

"A cathedral of syrup and violence"

Waffle House, hands down.

Dollar General might be a tough fight for Waffle House just because they have nothing left to lose.

If it were one employee from each, it's Waffle House. No contest.

One customer changes things a lot. I think it's probably still Waffle House that takes it, but Popeyes and WalMart are in the running.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah Walmart is definitely a wildcard here. You could get anything from a 90 year-old grandmother to Johnny Meth, who hasn't been able to feel pain for at least 20 years

Waffle House employees get good by fighting Waffle House customers. Both are terrifying and the bar to beat for any real discussion.

Yeah I think maybe swap with Golden Corral

I herewith announce that from now on I will downvote any post with a brand logo, shitpost or not. Why do you advertise for your slavers and maintainers?

Replace Aldi with Chuck-E-Cheese and the Waffle House customer might actually have some competition.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

You ever seen a brawl at waffle house?

Clear winner amongst all the stoners, soccer moms, and drunks from the other places

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People are saying Waffle House but Popeye’s is the underdog no one saw coming.

And the kid from Albertson’s is dead before she even steps into the fight.

Wallyworld fights Target, both show up well equiped but its cheap and breaks after a few swings.

The fast foods are eyeing eachother up like a western stand off (Popeyes brought a huge knife).

All the others are the extras like the fight scene from Anchor man.

Waffle House is the only one left standing after throwing Dollar General through a plate glass window and walks away doing a "cool dudes dont look at explosions" bit (going to assume its a grease fire).

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 points 1 day ago

Obviously the Waffle House veteran.

[–] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Customer? Dollar General or Walmart. The employees are the fighters at most of these places.
