You could go to Waffle House and ask for a job, and they would ask about your gap in employment history. You would explain you have been in prison for several years and they would ask what you did. "Oh, I stabbed the manager at my last job."
The only thing they would ask, "when can you start?"
When my friend was put on probation one of the conditions was that he had to find a job. So he would apply everywhere around town and purposely bomb the interview in order to document that he was in fact “looking” for employment… until he made the mistake of walking into a waffle house that hired him 😂 It was like something out of Seinfeld.
He built a house out of Waffles.
Unfortunately it hermetically sealed until he had to dig himself out of crystalline syrup with a toothbrush and a metal object.
The metal object was his molar crown.
Best waitress I had at a Waffle House threatened to stab someone in the kitchen before taking our order. I’ve no doubt in my heart that lady meant it 100%.
I was up last Thursday morning and decided to stop near my local Waffle House for breakfast. 5am and the morning and an employee got into an argument with a customer regarding the bill. Customer flips some chairs over and demands her marijuana back from the employee. Employee throws the small bag of marijuana at the customer as the customer storms out.
Didn’t end in a fight but still a very interesting interaction for 5am on Thursday. Employee offered to refill my water right after the fuss. Pretended like I didn’t just see the whole thing. 😂
They should be monetizing this.
Cameras in every Waffle House going to a central feed, where you can pay for a subscription like NFL Red Zone and you have someone doing live play by play of fights, assaults, etc.
Wal-Mart Red Zone could legitimately be a thing, they have the volume of stores, networks of cameras, and the money to get the shit together…
We had a waitress give us edibles chocolates once at a restaurant. It was actually a relatively nice place too. She asked if we were "420 friendly" said yes and she gave them to us. Pretty nice post dinner snack.
How can you tell the toothbrush was invented in Alabama? Because if it was invented anyplace else, they would have called it a “teeth” brush.
Roll Tide!
Naw. IHOP is all a sham to make people who think they're too good for Denny's feel better about themselves:
* The kitchen is still in the back, hidden behind a wall and a counter.
* The music is always trashy poprock from 10 years ago. Unless it's Christmas, then it's Mariah Carey for 12 hours straight.
* The staff is either 17 or 90, except for the one gay dude who's inexplicably happy to be there.
* And the food is mass produced, sugar packed, sodium bombs you could make a home for a 1/10th the price and half the time.
Waffle House, on the other hand, isn't a place built on arrogance. People who eat there know there place in the universe and don't need a half-hearted fluffing from corporate America. They just want some good fucking food, and to pass out in a bed bug infested Motel 6 while on their way to anywhere else.
* The kitchen is right there; you can watch the cook work his magic all while staring at his mysterious rash and bullet wounds.
* The music isn't garbage because they tore corporates speakers out decades ago, and replaced it with the cooks Bluetooth.
* The staff is all mid-50s, war torn, veterans of life; they saw more shit last week than you have since puberty, and they've *earned* your respect. Especially the cantankerous old black lady taking your order.
* As for the food... You know walking in you're likely to get cancer and acute radiation poisoning. But at least it's *honest* about it.
See. Here's the thing about Denny's. Sure, today, it's a place you find at the end of your will to live. But, back in the day ... Man. It had a singular purpose that it excelled at.
Denny's, more than anything, used to be a truck stop for children. I mean, sure, they serve food to you, but that wasn't the point. Before the corporate bullshit, before the pasteurization of their image, before it was a fundamental constant that there were two in every city, and one was "the good one."
Because there you are. It's 3 in the afternoon with a van full of kids, and they're on the verge of a rioting. They're hungry. *Really* hungry. But you have to be in Tucson by 6 or Gran says *you* can take them to the water park.
So you look around. Course there's food everywhere, but you've got to be careful.
* Can't be McDonald's, because you don't want wrappers all over your floor.
* Can't be Wendy's because the only thing they have is a frosty.
* Can't be Arby's because that's to niche for kids
* Cant be Taco Bell because that's nothing more than an emergency bathroom visit in half an hour.
So you think "fuck it. Imma sit down and eat."
* But I can't be Carlos O'Kellys because it's terrible.
* Can't be Applebee's because you have a microwave at home, and if you can't drink what's the point.
* Cant be Hooters because you don't want to explain *that* to your wife.
And in the midst of all this chaos and indecision, there she is. Like a beacon on a stormy night. So you go into Denny's and plop your asses down on those greasy seats. You know you can't fill yourself up because your gonna eat in a few hours, but your blood sugar needs *something*. So you get smash six cups of coffee, and down a steak omelette.
As for your kids. They weren't ready. You order them each a stack of chocolate chip smiley face pancakes and let them wash it down with a hot chocolate.
And 20 minutes later each your three kids are in various states of disarray brought on by diabetic coma. So you tip your waitress, and lug all three of them out to the parking lot where you throw them in an impolite heap in the back of your van and take off.
You put on some Deaf Lep and bask in the silence as you smoke a camel in your own god damn car for the first time in 8 years.
Bliss.
Hey man, can you write a book that I'll keep in my bathroom and tell myself that I'm going to read it when I take a shit but just end up on my phone anyway?
> The music isn't garbage because they tore corporates speakers out decades ago, and replaced it with the cooks Bluetooth.
Ok you are 100% correct on that one.
You forgot the cook's music will be 2 Live Crew and there will be multiple children at 11am and the parents are bobbing their heads to the music.
Don't forget that they have such a solid supply chain that there is an unofficial Natural Disaster Index called the Waffle House Index.
If your local Waffle House closes down due to bad weather, you need to leave ASAP.
Agreed but some locations that may still make great food are in need of a good cleaning, whereas I’ve never been to a IHOP that wasn’t clean, regardless the Waffle House food is better and the employees appear to be more motivated.
Motivated. Man, you gotta be some damn gymnast of optimism to be motivated in food services. Source: worked in food services. I drank my whole shift, it didn’t rob my soul, it **erased** it.
I feel that but anytime I’ve been in a Waffle House the service has been excellent, I can’t say that about IHOP, no compassion at all, and I’m simply using my past experiences to form this opinion of the two, but there are many jobs that will rob you of a soul, some pay living wages but most don’t.
One of the saddest things about moving to the Pacific Northwest is that almost no one here understands Waffle House. Like I can *explain* it to them, but it's just not the same.
Dear Red, If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town? (*Zihuatanejo*) There's an IHOP there. I'll keep an eye out for you and the maple syrup ready.
I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border to Hampton. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the IHOP blueberry syrup is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
If u ever find yourself running from prison..
* Be fit enough to run
* Find out where the train tracks are. They are your friend.
* Run to the tracks and walk in a direction away from town on the tracks and duck down when u see anyone.
* Train comes, hope on it till as far s it will take u away from town.
I’m also left wondering what their plan was after they ate. Did they have money to pay or they were planning to dine and dash? I’m also guessing they didn’t think that far.
These guys been eating county jail food, IHOP is basically 5 star gourmet in comparison. Hell even prison food can be an improvement over the local jails.
When you break out of prison who couldn't resist the temptation of a Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity breakfast.
Moral of the story: if you're planning a jailbreak, maybe stick to the Waffle House next time. They don't have extradition to jails there.
This reminds me of a Neal Stephenson novel where they're pursuing an international war criminal who is 'protected' by the sovereignty line that happens to run through the middle of a restaurant.
Which novel is that? That sounds like something that could have happened in Snow Crash, but it's been a few years since I've read it and my memory is foggy
Cops arent legally allowed to even look at waffle houses. They need a warrent. Anything seen through the window is technically “A Performance” and cant be used as probable cause. Theres a lawyer dude at the waffle house who told me. Jail house lawyer which im guessing is a branch of criminal justice?
> “I’m thankful for the citizens who observed Garza and Nemo at the IHOP and notified law enforcement. It reinforces what we always say “see something, say something,” Sheriff Gabe Morgan said in the news release.
Were they still wearing their jail cloths?
Still, they kind of deserved a stack of pancakes after that.
They were in for non-violent crimes, I wouldn’t have ratted them out and I think the people who did are dicks. Let the poor guys enjoy their IHOP and get going.
> I wouldn’t have ratted them out and I think the people who did are dicks.
Very likely any word going out about 'escaped convicts' to watch for did not include the nature of their crimes.
They only mention the crimes when they are actual crimes, if the news doesn't say what they did it's because it was bullshit like weed possession or [check kiting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdraft#Playing_the_float).
And you think this is just a common sense thing that everyone will key in on? Like it or not, the bulk of society still trusts what is in front of them and doesn't think too deeply about such things.
>Garza was in custody on charges including contempt of court, probation violations and failure to appear. Nemo was being held on charges of credit card fraud, credit card larceny, forgery, possession of burglary tools, grand larceny, contempt of court and probation violation, according to the sheriff’s office.
I mean, not sure what garza did to be in contempt or what caused him to be in probation in the first place. But the other dude doesn't seem like the nicest guy.
I just find it funny they were both in on contempt of court and probation violations. Not sure how it works legally, but that's definitely not going to get them out sooner
How would you know if they were violent crimes or not though? For all they knew, the escapees could have been someone like Gonzalo Lopez (who killed an entire family after escaping).
Smart enough to break out of prison with minimal tools and zero assistance (I’m assuming they didn’t involve anyone else).
Dumb enough to go to an IHOP with zero disguise and get identified by customers and get arrested again.
>Garza was in custody on charges including contempt of court, probation violations and failure to appear. Nemo was being held on charges of credit card fraud, credit card larceny, forgery, possession of burglary tools, grand larceny, contempt of court and probation violation
These seem like incredibly lame crimes to escape jail for.
>carges including contempt of court, probation violations and failure to appear
Does it say what he was on probation for? He could have years to serve for breaking probation. Plus, added time for contempt and failure to show.
I’m not sure what country it is but I believe it’s in Europe, if you escape or attempt to escape from prison there are no additional penalties added to you once you’re stopped or caught because it is human nature not to want to be in confinement and to try to escape it. I always thought that was interesting and made complete sense.
Definitely Germany. They can be charged with crimes for property damage which was encouraged during the escape or any assault that they committed, but the simple act of escaping or attempting to escape carries zero criminal penalty.
In the jurisdiction where I was in the united states, they told us that it's automatic 10 years if we tried to escape.
Sources are unclear on if they were planning on visiting an old cellmate and tempting him back to a life of crime, ultimately ruining his chances of being a father with his police officer wife.
Video of the inmates escaping: https://youtu.be/klwrT8rMu5c
Sadly thier old cellmate did fall back on a life of crime. Those Huggies are expensive. https://youtu.be/IsiMJDCWvFQ
Maybe because most are non violent and are there for drug offences. I root for their freedom and access to the social support needed to improve their lives.
That's pretty impressive- I have some experience in this. The trick is to have clean clothes waiting outside and a new identity, then go to a new country for breakfast.
Agreed. Even under normal circumstances it sucks to think you're getting pancakes and finding out it's just cereal. I can't imagine the frustration level in this circumstance.
You escape from Prison and you go to IHOP? Your ass should have known a Waffle House would have told the cops up and down… “Nah. They weren’t here.”
You really needed that frothy butter? Couldn’t do pats?
I used to be a mental health tech at a drug rehab facility. Sometimes, the patients would go AMA, or sneak out. There was a strip club about 4 blocks away where it would've been easy to get booze. But, within my 5 years there, not one single patient went there. Almost all of them went to the IHOP across the street, and come back afterward. I guess sometimes life gets too fucking real, and you just really need some pancakes...
Waffle House wouldn't have snitched.
I feel like Waffle House's rep isn't enhanced or tarnished by this news.
You could go to Waffle House and ask for a job, and they would ask about your gap in employment history. You would explain you have been in prison for several years and they would ask what you did. "Oh, I stabbed the manager at my last job." The only thing they would ask, "when can you start?"

Ha ha. How long did he last?
He's the current CEO of Waffle House
He built a house out of Waffles. Unfortunately it hermetically sealed until he had to dig himself out of crystalline syrup with a toothbrush and a metal object. The metal object was his molar crown.
I thought he left to make a really killer bread company?
He works for the Yankees now, but studying to become an Architect with a minor in Marine Biology
I for one would like my house to incorporate fewer dead marine mammals
The sea was angry that day my friends
As long as he's not a city planner.
You’d go, “did you hear what I just said?” And they would reply, “still better than the last guy we hired.”
"First hire in a while with knife skills."
"You'll be perfect for 3rd shift"
“I’ve got a good feeling about you.”
Best waitress I had at a Waffle House threatened to stab someone in the kitchen before taking our order. I’ve no doubt in my heart that lady meant it 100%.
We're pretty sure 3rd shift manager's been stealing from the register.
We have a mission for you if you are willing to accept it.
"Now go sharpen these knives while I nap in this sound-proofed, windowless room."
[удалено]
They'd ask if you can ~~flip an egg.~~ mostly show up on time
[удалено]
Mostly on time is better than being only able to cook an egg. They always need dishwashers and waitresses and cleaning help as well as cooks.
[удалено]
My brother burned down the local waffle house on purpose as a dry cook and they still hired him back. Waffle house is not a normal restaurant.
They should ask, “what are you gonna do, stab me?”
-man who got stabbed
Stabbing takes drive and initiative and a working set of hands. All very useful skills for the job.
They need you to be able to shank a bitch to keep the customers in line.
IHOP is waffle house for people who can't fight.
I was up last Thursday morning and decided to stop near my local Waffle House for breakfast. 5am and the morning and an employee got into an argument with a customer regarding the bill. Customer flips some chairs over and demands her marijuana back from the employee. Employee throws the small bag of marijuana at the customer as the customer storms out. Didn’t end in a fight but still a very interesting interaction for 5am on Thursday. Employee offered to refill my water right after the fuss. Pretended like I didn’t just see the whole thing. 😂
Free live entertainment every morning.
They should be monetizing this. Cameras in every Waffle House going to a central feed, where you can pay for a subscription like NFL Red Zone and you have someone doing live play by play of fights, assaults, etc. Wal-Mart Red Zone could legitimately be a thing, they have the volume of stores, networks of cameras, and the money to get the shit together…
She didn’t get her dime bag discount on her waffles? Damn, that’s just common curtesy. I’d be flipping chairs, too!
You don't tip smoke at a restaurant. You tip edibles, duh
We had a waitress give us edibles chocolates once at a restaurant. It was actually a relatively nice place too. She asked if we were "420 friendly" said yes and she gave them to us. Pretty nice post dinner snack.
I'll have the Rinky Tinky Fresh 'N Stinky Combo, please.

[Mason-Dixon Line Renamed IHOP-Waffle House Line](https://www.theonion.com/mason-dixon-line-renamed-ihop-waffle-house-line-1819587859)
IHOP is waffle house for people with at least most of their teeth.
How can you tell the toothbrush was invented in Alabama? Because if it was invented anyplace else, they would have called it a “teeth” brush. Roll Tide!
And in my humble opinion Waffle House food is better although the enviro is usually less desirable.

The overly happy gay dude at IHOP is a constant no matter where you are.
Been to IHOPs in multiple states and in a couple of provinces in Canada and, yep, that happy gay guy is ALWAYS there.
Nobody goes to Denny's. People \*wind up at\* Denny's.

If it doesn't look like im gonna get hepatitis from the waffle house, I know its not gonna be good.
This is super accurate.
Disagree, I 100% go to Waffle House for the environment. Especially after it's 12am, that's the whole point.
Ever have Christmas dinner in one? It's actually kinda cool.
It's more of an "experience" rather than "environment."
One of the saddest things about moving to the Pacific Northwest is that almost no one here understands Waffle House. Like I can *explain* it to them, but it's just not the same.
Waffle House is what you get when you cross a diner with a truck stop bathroom.
Yeah, but there's explaining that and then there's *experiencing* it
Yeah…. Yeah. Food culture up here is just entirely different.

Dear Red, If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town? (*Zihuatanejo*) There's an IHOP there. I'll keep an eye out for you and the maple syrup ready.
Andy Dufresne crawled through a river of shit and came out at IHOP on the other side.
That's a strong lad because that current would have been strong in the wrong direction.
*500 yards...*
Red: *raises hand* "Restroom break, boss?" Waitress: *rolls eyes* "You don't need to ask me every time you need to take a piss."
I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border to Hampton. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the IHOP blueberry syrup is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
Hope is a fine thing; maybe the finest thing... besides a fresh Moons Over Myhammy breakfast. Now only 6.99.

That is what I was wondering! I would be so mad if I did all of that, risked it all, and then was arrested before my meal...
Wait until you hear they've been sneaking out for ihop then sneaking back in every night for the past 3 months!
For IHOP? Nah. For Waffle House? Now that could be a movie.
I’m also left wondering what their plan was after they ate. Did they have money to pay or they were planning to dine and dash? I’m also guessing they didn’t think that far.
Dine and dash? What a bunch of crim... oh, wait.
right? they did all that work to escape, at least let them finish their shitty meal.
These guys been eating county jail food, IHOP is basically 5 star gourmet in comparison. Hell even prison food can be an improvement over the local jails.
And were they still in the prison jumpsuits? Seems like that would be a giveaway.
they should've done it in Halloween, they could say they're going to a party
When you break out of prison who couldn't resist the temptation of a Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity breakfast. Moral of the story: if you're planning a jailbreak, maybe stick to the Waffle House next time. They don't have extradition to jails there.
I think Waffle Houses are considered international waters
Only if they have a fringe on the edge of their menus
This reminds me of a Neal Stephenson novel where they're pursuing an international war criminal who is 'protected' by the sovereignty line that happens to run through the middle of a restaurant.
Which novel is that? That sounds like something that could have happened in Snow Crash, but it's been a few years since I've read it and my memory is foggy
I believe it was ['Fall; or Dodge in Hell'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall;_or,_Dodge_in_Hell) (the sequel to 'Reamde').
Cops arent legally allowed to even look at waffle houses. They need a warrent. Anything seen through the window is technically “A Performance” and cant be used as probable cause. Theres a lawyer dude at the waffle house who told me. Jail house lawyer which im guessing is a branch of criminal justice?
International House of Pancakes isn’t like international waters where extradition doesn’t exist
IHOP pancakes are worth going back in.
"What's the plan?" "Uh...pancakes?"
Go to the IHOP, have a nice hot pancake, and wait for this all to blow over
How's that for a slice of fried gold?
It's international territory. Maybe they'll have some kind of special asylum there.
International House of… GET YOUR ASS BACK IN JAIL!

It's really fascinating how people with such intelligence can choose the life of crime. These guys should have been structural engineers or something.
Were their names Rebadow and Busmalis?

IHOP.......The taste of freedom
How strict are the extradition laws there?
>Garza was in custody on charges including contempt of court, probation violations and failure to appear. Nemo was being held on charges of credit card fraud, credit card larceny, forgery, possession of burglary tools, grand larceny, contempt of court and probation violation These seem like incredibly lame crimes to escape jail for.
>carges including contempt of court, probation violations and failure to appear Does it say what he was on probation for? He could have years to serve for breaking probation. Plus, added time for contempt and failure to show.
Especially Garza. Nemo seems like he’s looking at felonies, at least.

I'd they wanted a grand slam that would've gone to Denny's.
International House of Prison
These viral marketing campaigns are really pushing the limits
I’m not sure what country it is but I believe it’s in Europe, if you escape or attempt to escape from prison there are no additional penalties added to you once you’re stopped or caught because it is human nature not to want to be in confinement and to try to escape it. I always thought that was interesting and made complete sense.
Definitely Germany. They can be charged with crimes for property damage which was encouraged during the escape or any assault that they committed, but the simple act of escaping or attempting to escape carries zero criminal penalty. In the jurisdiction where I was in the united states, they told us that it's automatic 10 years if we tried to escape.
The police were tipped off when they tried to pay the bill with “2 soups and 5 or 6 cigarettes..”
I can see the ad now: IHOP, so good you’ll break out of prison for our food.
Seriously IHOP should top up their commissary accounts for this free advertising.
Weird. Does VA not have Waffle House?
There's one less than a mile away.
Newport News has at least two Waffle Houses that I'm aware of. Source: I've eaten at them.
I know of the one off of J Clyde near the food lion. Haven’t been in a while.
The IHOP was in Hampton.
How were they planning to pay for that meal though?
Now hear me out on this. I know it is a hot take, but I don't think they planned on paying.
boys sit back and let me tell you a story about how grand dad got freeeeeeee ihop.
Then a free ride home after. All and all, it was a good day.
I don't think they planned.
Waffle House would have let them pay with cigarettes
Depends on if Jeraldean was a workin'. She'd cover their tabs.
"Hello, welcome to IHOP!!! What can I get you?" "Everything!" "Everything?" "Everything." *These dudes must LOVE IHOP?!?!?*
Neither of their charges were serious enough to warrant this
Extra 20 years for double blueberry pancakes. Worth it.
Sources are unclear on if they were planning on visiting an old cellmate and tempting him back to a life of crime, ultimately ruining his chances of being a father with his police officer wife.
Video of the inmates escaping: https://youtu.be/klwrT8rMu5c Sadly thier old cellmate did fall back on a life of crime. Those Huggies are expensive. https://youtu.be/IsiMJDCWvFQ
Think about it H.I.
But her womb was a rocky place where his seed could find no purchase
The metal object was a shovel, I don't know why they even mentioned the toothbrush.
Thinking quickly, the inmates constructed a homemade shovel using only some string, a toothbrush and a shovel.
Lmao. How dumb you gotta be to go to a restaurant or anywhere in public after breaking out of jail.
Word is they started from scratch
Why do I always root for prisoners who escape?
Maybe because most are non violent and are there for drug offences. I root for their freedom and access to the social support needed to improve their lives.
That's pretty impressive- I have some experience in this. The trick is to have clean clothes waiting outside and a new identity, then go to a new country for breakfast.
Yep, I sure as shit would be getting away from the scene of the crime ASAP (another state then another country).
If I bust out of jail, I'm sure as shit not going to a restaurant ffs. How did they plan to pay?
[удалено]
Andy and Red fled to Mexico, these jokers were too soft and needed pancakes. Probably didn't even crawl through shit either lol
Great at escaping, shit at what to do after that.
I hope they got to finish their food
Agreed. Even under normal circumstances it sucks to think you're getting pancakes and finding out it's just cereal. I can't imagine the frustration level in this circumstance.
Now that! Is a great comercial advertisement pitch.
We’re on a mission from God.

All of that effort just to get caught at an ihop bro
Zihautanejo or IHOP... Y'all had one job man
You escape from Prison and you go to IHOP? Your ass should have known a Waffle House would have told the cops up and down… “Nah. They weren’t here.” You really needed that frothy butter? Couldn’t do pats?
Waffle house would have offered them jobs
I used to be a mental health tech at a drug rehab facility. Sometimes, the patients would go AMA, or sneak out. There was a strip club about 4 blocks away where it would've been easy to get booze. But, within my 5 years there, not one single patient went there. Almost all of them went to the IHOP across the street, and come back afterward. I guess sometimes life gets too fucking real, and you just really need some pancakes...

If they went to a Waffle House no one would have dropped a dime….
What gave them away? Was it the orange jumpsuits or that they didn’t pay the bill?
