The Decline of Waffle House

I remember Waffle House. It was a favorite spot of both my late father and my late best friend. We would frequent the place for coffee and a spot of lunch or supper pretty much once or twice a week back in the day when we caroused around Red Bank and other places in the vicinity.

So it was a natural option when I awoke one day hungry and needing sustinance. I went to the Waffle House on Sunset BL over by Lexington County Hospital where Chris Drive butts into US 378.

When I sat down I noticed the table was filthy. All of the windows had large round patches of grease or Jheri curl or some other horrible substance and this beginning was merely the prodrome to a bigger disease infecting Waffle House.

The waiter took my order. I pretty much ordered the standard from my last visit so many years ago:

a double pork chop plate
3 eggs over easy
coffee

Well, the order I was served was a pork chop plate. No double was served. The coffee was somewhat old tasting. The employees lounging around were disgusting and the enviornment was a scuz hole of the highest order.

I ate at my meal, paid my bill, and got the hell out of there never to return to Waffle House anywhere. Their corporate office has no standards anymore. Avoid the place like the plague if you value atmosphere and cleanliness.

If all you want is a couple of lazy greasy black cows sitting around and inept wait staff complete with totally incorrect order with your filth ... be sure to return. I'm sure they will be happy to accommodate you.

This is what we have to look forward to with the Biden administration.
