At 1 p.m., the lunchtime staff cheers, celebrating the fact that they made it through their shift — several of them had started at 9 p.m. Friday night. This means they survived a post-Friday night bar scene, when the downtown bars disgorged drunkards looking for food to soak up the alcohol. No wonder the waitress is resting her head. She just lived through it.
As you eat your breakfast for lunch, you look at the colorful photos of Brock and Bourdain and Colbert and Simpson on the wall above the kitchen area and think, wow, this #411 is a special Waffle House. And you eat your cheesy eggs feeling a part of it all. You swear you can feel the community. This is the place, after all, that stays open during hurricanes to feed the first responders and the folks who ride it out.
But sometimes, on the way home after a night at the bars, the vibes are different. More defensive. The stools at the counter are blocked with plastic bags and Cambro containers. The four empty tables are covered in dirty dishes, and when you look expectantly at the waitress, hoping she’ll clean one of the tables off for you, she says flatly, “This section is closed.
As you wait for your food, more people come in and stand awkwardly, hoping they can be seated. At this point, the fun photos seem to mock you. Yeah, good times were had here, but tonight, it’s just another late night at a Waffle House. You put a $5 bill in the jukebox to see if music will liven the mood, but it immediately shuts down, as if someone flipped a switch so they didn’t have to hear another dumb Waffle House song.
As you leave, you notice the waitress has officially closed down the section with a chair barricade and is sitting at a now-cleaned table with her head down, resting. You can’t really blame her. You heard some grumbling about someone not coming in for their shift, and you imagine she’s been working since 9 p.m. the night before. So you cut her some slack as you leave the bright interior of the Waffle House and head home into the night, knowing you’ll be back before too long.
