I swear to god Waffle House is stuck in the early 90s. They still use dot-matrix receipt printers, their employees are paid weekly in cash, every last one of the cooks smokes cigarettes, and the cashier always looks a little caught off guard when you pay with a debit card. It's a damn time capsule.
Edit: Additionally, the principal patron groups of waffle house are mostly truckers and broke college hipsters, so even the fashion is usually 90s.
My favorite thing about Waffle House is the inverse correlation between cleanliness/classiness and food quality. Best Waffle House meal I ever had was in Florida, where a woman was sitting at the counter in a straight up nightgown and slippers and two of the cooks were smoking pot in the back. Meal was absolute fire.
