Waffle House Is Taking Heat For An 'Especially Alarming' Paycheck Policy
Waffle House Is Taking Heat For An 'Especially Alarming' Paycheck Policy
A Georgia worker explains why she went on strike over the policy: “Why am I paying for food I’m not eating?”
A union that’s organizing Waffle Houseworkers filed a petition with the Labor Department on Monday, asking federal officials to investigate the iconic chain’s policy of deducting mandatory meal costs from workers’ paychecks.
Waffle House takes at least $3 for each on-shift meal out of workers’ pay, whether they end up eating it or not, according to the petition from the Union of Southern Service Workers. The USSW called it “especially alarming” since many workers are paid a tipped sub-minimum wage “as low as $2.90 per hour,” not including gratuities.

That’s pretty fucked up. I would add them to the list of companies that I will no longer patronize, but they there were already there for being gross in other ways.
What other examples? I’m not up to date on waffle drama, besides crazy fights and general craziness at 3 am
oh, just shitty food and dirty facilities from past experience many years ago. lol.
That's Waffle House. You just described every Waffle House.
Exactly. So, the fact that they are even in the position to be still making waffles and blatantly stealing from their employees is beyond me. lol
