Why are Waffle Houses so violent?

Its a black culture thing here in the South. We just don't understand.

I have witnessed two fights at fast food joints. Both times it was two black families that for whatever reason, hated each other. One was an IHOP and it was legendary. Plates, knives, coffee pots full of hot coffee, women beating children and men beating women, there were no decency boundaries present that evening. The evening was complete with Cops doing the take down of quite a few. On the second I was blessed to see another family fight at a Waffle House. Both instances in Atlanta and they happened 15 years apart. When I tell you I have seen this shit going on for 32 years, I am not kidding.

Again, it is a culture thing you and I would never understand evidently. We can be admonished for even asking why people think the behavior was appropriate.

The thing about the IHOP that really got me pissed, was the complete lack of respect for someone's business and livlihood. They destroyed the place and didn't give a shit.

Correct, you don’t and wouldn’t.

I consider that a good thing.

If a Conservative said that they didn't understand how people can loot, beat, burn and murder during the blm violent riots, this ass hat mello would be here to say the same thing.

I consider not understanding how blm protestors could loot, beat, burn and murder, a good thing as well.

Had the best biscuits and gravy of my life at a Waffle House in Biloxi, Mississippi. No fights. Just artery clogging goodness.

Never been a fan. I used to call on the two owners. They were real characters and loyal customers, so we would eat there occasionally. My son is a huge fan. It is the hangover food joint for college kids, just like Denny's with their Grand Slam Breakfast was for my generation. The old crowd around here loves Waffle House coffee.

Their cheeseburgers are my go to when I am there.

I’ve been to a few Waffle Houses. Good basic breakfast. I think any 24hr place after 2:00 AM is open to some craziness.

I dunno. Sheri's and Denny's seem to operate without issue at 3 am in my neck of the woods. Maybe they suck and nobody goes to them vs Waffle House? Can't recall the last time I ate at any kind of place like that.

Back in the day, nothing better than a hearty breakfast after closing hours. Now, just looking for a bloody mary and chicken fried steak and eggs at 11:00AM. Waffle House is thus out.

Lenny's was my go to late night place, then Hoots.

Hoots was the bomb. Loved that place. Was eating breakfast at 2 am with my dorm mates freshman year, one of whom was Ron Burns, a 7 foot freshman center. He dined and dashed with the other idiots while I was in the bathroom displacing 20 beers. They thought it was hilarious. I came out and the owner sat me down and asked if Ron was the dumbest son of a bitch in the world to try and dine and dash while being 7 foot tall. He made me pay for everyone and let me go. I made them all pay me with a penalty of $1.00 added on for my trouble.

Ron was a great symbol of the poor quality of Oregon basketball at that time hard to believe he was ever considered a DI player. If I ever found myself in Hoots it has been a rough night, so of course I found myself in there often.
