A House of a Different Color
(sh.itjust.works)
A vibrant and cheerful scene of a Waffle House restaurant painted completely in blue, set on a sunny day. The restaurant should be a single-story structure with a typical Waffle House design, but with its exterior walls, roof, and signage all in shades of blue. The scene should be lively and welcoming, with people walking around, some entering and exiting the restaurant, conveying a happy and busy atmosphere. The sky should be clear and bright, adding to the overall joyful vibe of the scene.

Awww this makes me miss Waffle House. Vaguely.
All of my experiences with Waffle House have been either drunk or nostalgia (literally only two options, as I haven’t been at one in 10+ yrs but experienced my first under 25 years ago), and both are passable. At least your drunk meal doesn’t cost much. And if you are sober you don’t expect much.
But when you go sober, for nostalgia, in a region you don’t normally frequent, they get actively upset at large (pay for the job, not based on check) tips. Left $10 on a $10 tab somewhere in Kansas, because fuck those people work hard, and they made absolutely certain I meant to leave that in cash. They seemed actively uncomfortable with it.
Such a weird dynamic for a country that allows/requires tipping. But they are so used to poverty wage that anything that isn’t is unbelievable. Man that’s so sad.
