I’m Not Saying Trump Has Fucked Us

LOL, you think Waffle House is tough?
I spent my summers in college putting up rental tents at places like the the Indiana State Fair.
Have you ever pounded dozens of 4 foot stakes into an asphalt parking lot with a 15 pound sledgehammer?
Yeah, I don't think you would last an hour. Let alone a week.
Bragging about working at Waffle House. Give me a fucking break.

What the fuck is a Waffle House? Sounds wicked good.

Also, anyone playing @Steal Your Face Bingo can mark off "Worked at Waffle House" on your card.

It's really not...

Flyover states provide your food. You know, the shit you buy in the grocery store? Yea, that’s grown here in the Midwest. Or, at least, supporte by farms in the Midwest. Also, not all hippies moved to the Haight-Ashbury district. Many stayed here in the Midwest and built communities of people intent on preserving a …”more natural” way of life.

High obesity rates are more common among ‘the poor’ and this is not new. Even Ancient Rome and Greece had “fast food” establishments. “Home cooked” meals were for the wealthy or for farmers.

I’ve worked at … places like Waffle House and I’ve worked at a state park doing exactly the kind of work you described.

While the outdoor work was much more physically intense, I obtained more injuries working in fast food.

I honestly liked both jobs. The pay sucked, but the work itself wasn’t “bad” per se. and when I was younger, I appreciated more physically intensive jobs.

You still haven’t explained why this is important.

Hopefully that shuts down the,"My job was harder" discussions. I couldn't handle 2 more pages of that b.s.

You sir, are a cad, and an uncultured swine (to be read in the voice of David Ogden Stiers).

Having worked as a short order cook and done manual labor like you describe, I'll gladly take the sledgehammer.

That said, I like pancakes way more than I do waffles.

Not true for those of us in California, which is a powerhouse when it comes to agriculture. It's a net exporter of a lot of crops. The amount of farm land in California is bigger than the entire state of Indiana, for example.

Wait, FF was a Waffle Artist too?

Yes, California is a huge exporter of edible crops. And, have more stringent “organic’ standards than federal. I generally check (when I’m looking) for the CCOF certification. however, if you eat beef or pork, those animals need to be fed, and the majority of those crops come from Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska (off the top of my head), not just one state.

If you want to get that granular, California is feeding the farmers who grow those crops.

I was not trying to get into a dick measuring contest. I’m just saying your ideas about the Midwest are just as ignorant as midwesterner ideas about California.

If you go back to my first post, I never mentioned the Midwest. You read into my post wanted you wanted to read.

No. You mentioned “flyover” states. Which, guess what, is The American Midwest.

And obesity has more to do with poverty than region. So, you’re wrong there, too.

Guess what that makes you? Just as ignorant about Midwesterners as FF is ignorant about everything else.

Get off social media.

You.....lasted a month

Waffle House is a US institution. They make greasy, salty, fatty food that reduces your lifespan by decades, and it's so goddamn delicious: waffles, pancakes, chili, eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, buttered toast, hash browns, Texas Cheese Steak, cheeseburgers, and gallons and gallons of coffee.

This is a Texas Cheese Steak from Waffle House:


My favorite Waffle House memory happened not long after I graduated high school (back in the 1990s) when my best friend, our visiting friend from New York, and myself went to our local Waffle House at 3 AM, ordered a pot of endless black coffee, and I sat there eating a Texas cheese steak while my friend chain smoked cigarettes, shotgunned cups of coffee, and explained why Elvis was actually a member of the Illuminati.

If you need a visual image, my best friend looked and acted like Dale Gribble from King of the Hill, right down to the sunglasses and hat. It was not intentional. He had always been that way.

You have to go at least once. You might even get into a Waffle House fight!

Obesity has to do with discipline.

Wrong again!
Weight had been linked to wealth since civilization started.

I didn't say their were no temptations. Discipline is the final deciding factor.

No, being poor does not force you to eat garbage, and taxpayer assistance should not allow you to BUY garbage.

And do not come sniveling to me about "food deserts ." Nobody is obligated to allow themselves to be robbed.

What? Flyover states are just any states you flyover to get from coast to coast. Yes, the Midwest is part of that group, but not the entirety of that group.

In the context of the discussion about Waffle House, which you have ignored to randomly champion the Midwest by focusing on a single word in my initial post, I was pointing out that areas with more Waffle House restaurants tend to have higher obesity rates and poor education (predominantly the South, not the Midwest as you claim).

Congratulations on living in the Midwest. I don't really care, and it has nothing to do with what I posted.

garbage is cheaper
/shrug

unfortunately with grocery monopolies, EVERYBODY is obligated to allow themselves to be robbed. We've long passed "what the market will sustain" and gone into "the consumer is disposable"

Fun fact: Nevada is a flyover state

Are you familiar with Gare from the Cool Zone Media podcasts? Their first time at a Waffle House they got to witness a stabbing. Lucky fucker.

What ever became of your friend?

So, what's the real difference between Waffle House and Denny's? Because I like going there when I visit.

I was wondering that also. There is also Sharis and IHOP, but it appears WH is better than Ihop

WH is basically a national chain of greasy spoon trucker diners. And it is very greasy.
My list of preference is:
Perkins
Denny's
IHOP
Waffle House
