FYI: Waffle House GFZs

[Roadie]

They are building a new Waffle House in Beech Grove, so I wrote them about their Firearm's Policy and r'cvd a response..

Mr. xxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting Waffle House regarding our firearms policy. For many years we have had a “no firearms” policy in place in our restaurants for non-law enforcement customers with a no firearms sign posted at each location. We are well aware that different people and businesses have varying opinions regarding this issue, and we respect the right of all to have different opinions. However, we continue to believe this is the best policy for our customers and associates.

Thank you again for contacting us, and we appreciate your business.

Too Politically Correct for MY $$'s - A VP of Culture and a side of Grits

 

[femurphy77]

VP of Culture???? At the Waffle House???? The irony oozes from that one like the mayonaisse from a spam sandwich!!

I helped build that (w)affle hou(se) (you know, cuz the lights are never ALWAYS on for the signs)...I have never eaten at one so I really doubt this policy will affect me at all.

They are not the cleanest places to me so I pass them by for a Bob Evans everytime.

Sounds like they're trying to say "we have a corporate policy of no guns, but allow each location to make their own decision. We prefer no guns, but the managers decide."

I wouldn't feel safe without a gun at most of the Waffle House restaurants I have been in, especially after the bars close.

I don't think so.

I eat at the newer one in Plainfield about once a week for lunch. I'll look for the no-guns sign when I'm in next. I'm pretty sure that unless you were carrying a slung longarm, the employees probably wouldn't notice.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Never saw such a sign at the one in Greenwood on Main near Emerson. OC'd there quite a few times. But, now that I'm aware of policy, I can eat elsewhere. There are some nice breakfast places near my new house.

I'd rather give my money to Cracker Barrel than Waffle House, the food is better too.

The waffle house in Seymour is not connected with the franchise and is family owned and operated. I carry there all the time as does the owner and several others. The menu is similar but the food is much better.

Not so sure they even want the police to be armed.

STATE TROOPER TOLD TO LEAVE WAFFLE HOUSE BECAUSE HE WAS ARMED! |

Waffle House, a chain of dirty restaurants. VP of culture? What culture? Waffle batter run-off stalagmite culture?

I know, seems amazingly ironic.

It has been so many years since I've been in a Waffle House, that I have no idea what their pricing is like. I wouldn't have guessed they would be anywhere near the pricing of a Cracker Barrel. If they are, I have no idea how they could possibly compete.

And, I don't see how a place such as Waffle House can be so "discerning" on their customer base.

Hi all from next door in Cincy!

Devious
A few years ago an anti gun group financed by George Soros paid a novelty company to print, and mail large yellow envelopes to the Waffle House Corporate offices... (Note: they also did this to other chain resteraunts in Ohio) inside the large yellow envelope was a smaller sealed envelope that was to be forwarded to each store state wide. Each one had a "Waffle House corporate - please forward" stamped on its outside. Inside was a official size poster showing ordinances as they are shown in the State Attorney Generals hand book for CCW and it absolutely banned all weapons on the premises. To the uniformed it looked official as all get out and would probably be legal enough looking in Ohio that many a cop would use, and or reference it for any question when on duty. It also had, "under penalty - to be visibly posted instructions - by such and such date." If you turned it over it had the novelty company name on it plain as day! There was no officiall state emblem on anything in the mailer, or the poster... but it worked for quite a while till word was spread among the various WH managers...

Oh well, I guess I will have to go to White Castle instead for fine dining at 3:00 am. NOT

I use to go to those places after I drank too much........ Then I grew up.
