message: 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)

message: 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.

message: 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. 
* Pull drop mark is the call-in system. The server says pull, then gives a count of meats on the order by cooking time, then the server says drop and the number (but not toppings) of hashbrowns, and then finally mark, and the actual order, all using specific terms.
* During the "Pull" part of the call in, the grill operator "pulls" the meats onto the grill.
* During the "Drop" phase of the call in, the grill operator "drops" hashbrowns onto the grill, "in the ring" or "scattered" depending on if toppings are desired.
* During the "Mark" phase of the call in, the grill operator uses a system called "magic marker" to "mark" plates by arranging condiments on the plate or platter to indicate the order - the specific placement of which determine what is to be cooked. A poster describing the system is often taped above the sandwich board or to the vent hood above the grill, often to one side for the reference of the grill operator. 
* After the mark, the grill operator calls back the order to insure accuracy.
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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  Incidents  

message: 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!

thread_title:  History 

message: 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.

replies: text: The chain has tons of locations and many of them are open 24/7 so it stands to reason incidents happen. Is that worthy of a mention here? I'm not sure the coverage warrants a mention here unless there's a significant coverage of incidents happening because of Waffle House. - Nemov (talk) 00:10, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I am open to hearing more point of view if anyone has objections. If not I will go ahead and remove the section under WP:BOLD. Thank you.  Uri24 (talk) 18:46, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incidents?  

message: 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)
replies: text: I updated the numbers with the most current data. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 13:43, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restaurant count inconsistency 

message: 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)

message: I removed 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)
thread_title:  Politics section 

message: 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. The other is a song that was released in April that's about Waffle House. Neither of the redirects are necessary. Nemov (talk) 14:31, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
