Waffle House's Training Video Is Insane

[Flindo]

This is like the most inefficient training Ive ever seen

[Alexthebrick]

Only someone who has never worked in a kitchen would think this is a good idea, freaking executives 🤦‍♂️

[whatzittooya]

Rather than just read a ticket like any other restaurant they implement a zodiac esque puzzle to remember your order😂

[Zevox]

We're gonna make them think you memorized all the orders by making you memorize every possible order! We sure showed them!

[VorpalSnickerSnack]

Whoever "designed" this, made it cause they got bored. It's like rearranging cutlery and plates when you're waiting at the table.

[GenkiGoLucky]

I wonder how much product gets wasted arranging cheese slices and pickles instead of a pen and paper

[ravenvox]

The jokes papa made for the full video in reference to the marker system were absolutely hilarious.

“To remember that there’s 3 eggs, we put 3 pieces of cheese”

Okay, sound logic

“To remember that there’s a 3rd egg we put a mustard packet under the jelly pouch, and add a corner of the cheese to remember that there’s cheese”

What.

[hootinthedark]

Just write it down. You don't need to complicate it, Greg!

[thaloblue]

“Hey uh, any update on that Iced Tea refill?”

Me, using a sailor’s navigational chart in pig Latin to signal to the kitchen (right behind me) that my next customer wants extra ketchup on the side: “What? Oh, sorry about that. I’ll be right with you.”

No wonder everyone just throws hands at Waffle House. I’d do the same thing, if I was given these instructions. 😂

[Hjhugj]

I actually remember watching this back when I worked at Waffle House. Other indicators are like if the condiment packet is upside down. There’s actually a poster behind the line for the servers to remember each meaning

[princessssariiiiiiii]

this makes *SO* little sense. the insult used to be “you don’t need a degree” but i do in fact think i need a degree to understand the code >~<

[TheRealArtDoctor]

This is stupid. This no ticket rule everywhere. I used to work at a restaurant where they did something like this and I got yelled at once for bringing my own notepad and making quick notes to get the order right.

Sneak back there and place random items on plate. Chaos ensues:
"Omfg, the president has been kidnapped by a nomadic gang of irish blacksmiths!!!!"

[MotherlyEntity]

They do indeed do this. I know people don't like being watched, but if you sit at the bar you can see the jelly and cheese shit when they get plates ready for food

[CookiePieMonster]

So instead of reading the printed/written receipt for the order, you gotta remember a whole algorithm of food placements and alterations. Right. For minimum wage no less. Sure.

Greg, sitting in his office after the 87th spin of his office chair: "What if... we were to put cheese slices on the plate to identify orders... ...You did it again, Greg. Genius."

[Gamez-Portal]

the face of Hunter when Greg said "And then you take a corner of the cheese and then put it on the jelly pack"

[Bree_]

Imagine doing mental gymnastics to figure out what a customer ordered instead of literally looking a printed out ticket given to you
