Nothing exceptional happened today.

Well, I take that back, I went to Waffle House, and that’s always a guaranteed good time.  I went out for dinner with Emily and Angela.  While there we developed some theories about Waffle House.  They are as follows:

1)  Although Waffle House guarantees a good time, they do not always guarantee the correct price.  If you’ve eaten there more than a couple times you’ll probably understand what I mean.  Usually I get the same thing every time, but usually my bill is a different price [a considerable amount different].

2) You won’t always get what you ordered.  This happens for a number of reasons.  One reason is that sometimes they just run out of things.  This is more/less understandable.  The second reason is that Waffle House employee’s are the worst at playing Telephone [the game where you form a circle and tell a secret and watch as it changes as it passes through the circle].  This is evident when I order a hash-brown, capped, and receive a hash-brown, smothered.

3) None of these things can bother you because going to Waffle House is supposed to be like going to someone’s house.  So, if you were to go to someone’s house for a meal, you will eat what they give you and thank them kindly afterwards.  That’s just being polite.  So when your at Waffle’s House it should be no different, you’ll gladly accept anything they give you, pay whatever they write on that yellow ticket, and then tip them generously.
