Waffle House Wonderings


  • Why did we think we'd actually get quick access to one of the three 4-person booths on a Sunday morning at 9:30 am, knowing the loyal church-goers would be out in full force?
  • Why do parties of TWO feel entitled to any of the 4-person booths when there are plenty of two-seaters available? Yes, they're more spacious, but just be courteous for once, people.
  • How can the said parties of two just sit there leisurely, apparently free of guilty conscience, while the family of four waits patiently (well, almost) for 30 minutes (directly under the AC vent - glad we brought jackets)?

These questions may never be answered. Oh, well. Once we finally got seated this morning, in a luxurious booth nearest the bathroom, we had good behavior and a good breakfast. It was Ethan's first Waffle House experience. He slept through all the excitement.

As a former waitress, the only thing more maddening than a deuce hogging up a four-top on a busy morning is a single reading the (entire) newspaper on a two-top when there are ample seats at the counter.
