Dear Waffle House: Please serve my boyfriend crap, too.
Posted Tue April 13, 2010 2:15 am, by Rebecca B. written to Waffle House
Write a Letter to this Company
Please serve my boyfriend the same crappy food you serve me.
Long ago, I stopped going to Waffle House willingly. It has been over 5 years since I uttered the words "Let's go to Waffle House". Many slimy eggs, cold hashbrowns, and burnt pieces of toast have been placed in front of me, and I can certainly take a hint.
Unfortunately, I am not always alone in making the decision about where to eat. Once every 6 months or so, I end up going into your establishment to appease someone I care about.
This was the case not long ago when the boyfriend wanted to go to your location in Brandon. I agreed, and since he knows my history I made it clear it was sort of your "last chance".
I tried to make it easy for you. I ordered a diet coke and a grilled cheese sandwich, figuring you couldn't possibly mess that up.
It didn't look so bad when I picked it up, but you'd burned the bottom side so badly it was inedible. I imagine the cook had to know they'd destroyed my food, and can't fathom why it was sent out except that it's Waffle House and you have standards to uphold.
My attempts to flag the waitress down were ignored, and the sandwich sat, uneaten and with the burned side up. The waitress eventually ran by, dropping the bill on the table as she did so. When we checked out, I told the clerk about the burned sandwich, and there was no reaction.
Now, I'd be happy just to stay away. Unfortunately, last week the boyfriend and I butted heads because he was talking about going back. I eventually convinced him to go to Cracker Barrel, where I enjoyed a tasty breakfast. The subject will come up again, however, and I am getting anxious that he will take me to your restaurant when I am actually hungry and I will be miserable and either nauseated or starving when I leave.
So, I humbly beg of you, please serve the same slop to my boyfriend you serve me. This way, we won't have to have the "Why don't you like Waffle House" argument anymore.

Aw, come on. You expect us to believe you went to a Waffle House, and actually got served? And they had bread, cheese, AND Diet Coke, ALL AT THE SAME TIME? And they served the sandwich burnt side up? You MUST have caught them on a good day.

love your letter...
Potential solution is that you should order FOR your boyfriend and then maybe he'd get the crappy meal... finally!
And I can't believe you paid for an uneaten burned grilled cheese. You're a better sport than I.

"Waiter, I'd like two eggs. One slimy, one almost like a hockey puck. Two slices of toast. One burnt to a crisp on both sides, one barely warm. Two slices of bacon. One perfectly cooked and one almost pink."
"I'm sorry sir, we can't serve this to you. Health codes prevent it."
"But that's how you served it to me yesterday."
I'll admit that this is not a direct quote of the joke, but you get the point.
I think OP made a good effort to find a way to enjoy a meal with her friend. At first I'd thought, "Get a waffle, for Pete's sake." But then I realized that there are some points in my day where syrup would definitely not do anything great for my blood sugar.
I think OP made a valiant attempt. Waffle House let her down.

Hmmmmmmmm.........you were served slimey food cold and unediable and burned foods, yet you kept going back. I have a couple of suggestions for you #1: learn to cook, and suprise these people a nice home cooked meal. This way a)you know what goes in to the food, and you know what it will taste like. 2) You suggest or suprise these people you are taking out to the restaurant of your choise that you know is much more suitable for ALL to enjoy, and if they suggest going to the Waffle House, then make up and excuse that you can not go.

I agree that your boyfriend sounds a little jerky in your letter. You have every right to dislike a restuarant and not eat there without having to explain over and over why.
So, maybe suggest that he go the Waffle House on occasions when you aren't with him.

I think your boyfriend is a JERK. If I were you, I'd either dump his THOUGHTLESS BUTT or just refuse to go with him when he goes there. Go to Perkin's, or a local family-owned joint, or something. But just refuse to go.
(I loved the snarkiness in your letter--very well written!)

Dump the boyfriend or tell him no, you wont go there anymore.
Make it the ultimatium.
No boyfriend/girlfriend is worth crappy food.
Good Day

of Waffle House, but everyone is different. Maybe it is my first memory of being in one down in Georgia. Grits everywhere, and the customers looked like a Who's Who of truck drivers from the 70's.
You can get crappy food at Cracker Barrel as well, which I know by firsthand experience. I stopped going there years ago. But it may be more reliable than WH.

Praying for bad food and service, thats new.
Maybe your BF likes the food thats why he keeps asking to go back. Im sure there are alot of people who do like it otherwise they wouldnt have tons of locations, and even a waffle house credit card.
If your sandwich was burned why didnt you demand a new one? Or to get comped for it. Placing it burned side up and just hoping the waitress saw it doesnt really constitute requesting something be done.
