An encyclopedia is about fact, and this is referenced. It does show how Waffle House is iconic to it's fans.
The last paragraph in the history section uses the words "during the begging of an economy collapse".
What's the meaning of that prepositional phrase?
Exactly what did the writer try to say?
What's the "begging" of a "collapse"?
Do we now see a "collapse" of an economy?
Is that the right word?
Further, did the alleged bankruptcy of the parent firm result from its purchase of the franchisee?
The paragraph in question lacks a tone of authority, professionalism, and credibility.
Is it possible to express the subject ideas -- and the interrelationships among them -- in a clear, direct, accurate, straightforward manner?

The signature Waffle House greeting by the employees is twice the strength of the coffee they serve. Most times the greeting is polite and welcome but sometimes it borders on annoying. The greeting HI!!! bellowed at six am can be quite the wakeup. 68.55.58.46 ( talk) 02:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Yes. Unfortunately, it's also company policy that all staff and managers on the floor greet the customer. 75.91.233.240 ( talk) 01:19, 8 November 2010 (UTC)Will
I've read this article, and I can't seem to figure out what the request at the top is supposed to be about. What part of this article is written like an ad? Are we supposed to qualify every article with "negative" information? What if there isn't any? How do you find "negative information" for something like an oak tree or a type of fabric?
I suggest removing the box thing immediately.

If it's inconsequential, as you suggested, then why did you revert it?
The undeniably overwhelming majority of the "servers" at WH are unmistakably waitresses.
Why not continue to use the more precise -- and well established -- term for those women waiters?
Or why not wait for a "reliable source" to refute the irrefutable truth about the gender mix of those who serve food at WH?
There are cases where it's proper to use a gender-neutral term.
This one is not one of those.
In this case the quest for supposed sociological correctness reduces the precision of the language.
Does that serve a useful purpose?

Jeff, sorry to barge in, but I was starting to get the impression from reviewing WP P&P that discussion of contentious edits belonged on the Talk page for the article. It seemed to me that any of the 54 editors who watch the article might have an opinion worth considering. I'd particularly like to hear from User 96.5.81.156 if "she" (sorry, she's a she in my brain until and unless she states otherwise) has anything to add. For what its worth, I vote for "servers". (Actually, I vote for "wait staff" but I'm not willing to make a big deal out of it.) — Aladdin Sane ( talk) 16:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) In case any editor may wonder in the future, the issue is addressed in the official style guide for Wikipedia. Wikipedia Manual of Style in section 16.13 (Gender-neutral language) states,
Use gender-neutral language where this can be done with clarity and precision. This does not apply to direct quotations or the titles of works (The Ascent of Man), or where all referents are of one gender, such as in an all-female school (when any student breaks that rule, she loses privileges).
The section is accompanied by an associated essay on the topic for further clarification. The exception to the guideline seems to be "all" rather than "most". — Aladdin Sane ( talk) 04:30, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, Billy, for the picture of the waitresses behind the counter.
Now will one of the new-age revisionists demand a "reliable source" to confirm the biological sex of those "women waiters" in that picture?
Since those particular "servers" are clearly and undeniably women, is it OK to use the correct term by calling them "waitresses"?
In my constant travels in my business throughout the nation, fairly often I eat at Waffle House restaurants.
I continue to watch for men waiters at those places.
Many years have passed since I last saw even one man waiter at a WH location.
They're still women, and they're still waitresses.
Thanks again, Billy.
Doc.

The term diner lingo here is misleading. While the method used to call orders has similarities to diner lingo, it's actually part of a specialized system that's been designed to get orders on the grill faster and more accurately, without the grill operator having to constantly refer to tickets.
The above differs quite a bit from diner lingo, in that a number of terms from diner lingo are either not used, or are used in very specific ways. The pull, drop, mark call-in is unique to Waffle House and is intended to maximize throughput. I'll try to find a reference for this. Triona ( talk) 11:45, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
The source cited for the last line in this section refers to ALLEGED discrimination. The sentence here ends "... for the rise in discriminatory behavior." Seems you're bordering on libel; so much for adhering to Wiki-policy! 66.81.255.162 ( talk) 03:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm working on gathering data for a potential new section - they have their own label, and every Waffle House has a jukebox with Waffle House songs on it. This is what I've found so far for their song listing.

Hello, would removing Incidents be something that would help the page be more encyclopedic as there could possibly be incidents pages any any geographical location if they are only referring to happenings or mentions in news papers of tragedies. I am split between if these should be mentioned here, since they are relevant based on sourcing, but I don't know if they should be listed here as they feel a little odd. Maybe they should have their own page, or possibly an Incidents at Restaurant's separate page. Idk, wanting to hear you thoughts. Thanks Datsa54 ( talk) 01:48, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
As of right now, anyone trying to add this will likely be removed under Wikipedia:Recentism. It is just a trend at the moment. However, if it progresses more than it is at currently then it's notability and significance to the company will have to be added eventually - not much is happening currently so future editors please don't add for now!

Hello all!
Do you think the Incidents section is needed as there are likely many more "incidents," and that section could become its own page if the research was done? Should it be removed or merged into a new page? I'm open to doing more research to see if I can come up with other sources for other incidents for a page move/merger or vote to see if a removal would be a better option as it's not all-encompassing.

Hello! Whilst reading, i noticed that the count of restaurants presented in the introduction ("[...] is an American restaurant chain with 1,900 locations") differs from the one in the short overview ("Number of locations 2,100").
For the sake of consistency, wouldn't it make sense to use the most recent count in both cases? Gamerik ( talk) 12:00, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
This section appears to be a product of recentism and doesn't seem significant enough to warrant a section in this article. If there's not strong objection, I'm going to remove it. Perhaps some of it could be moved to the history section if someone believes it's relevant enough to be included. Nemov ( talk) 15:09, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
I removed [1] a section about political contribution from 11 years ago that doesn't seem to have received enough coverage to justify inclusion. Some may disagree, but seems undue to add to this article. Nemov ( talk) 22:08, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
I have removed two redirects. One was Pancake house which is barely receiving any traffic and it's not clear how anyone is confusing it with Waffle House.
