  1. Following a number of outrageous incidents involving sexual harassment, race discrimination, and a corporate policy that fosters a terrible culture, I no longer eat at Waffle House.

    Worse still, The Texas Supreme Court composed of Republicans, used a case to take away a legitimate jury verdict and foreclose the possibility of claims against a company that allows this sort of behavior to continue.

    Find these dishes elsewhere.

  2. Is it a top-down corporate problem, or one associated with franchisees?

    This is a painful bit of information, but I fear for once I may just make some additional donations to relevant causes to purchase political indulgences to offset our (infrequent) continued gustatory ones.

  3. Nothing, up to and including sexual harassment, race discrimination, and wretched corporate culture, comes between me and bacon, butter, sugar, fried potatoes, pancakes, waffles, and last but certainly not least, grits. Ethically and morally hollow I may be, but I see to it that said void is well filled with pork fat.

  4. No true Christian would deny you the pleasures of scattered, smothered, and covered goodness. You can’t have beer anymore; it’d be perverse to deny you WH as well.

  5. Chet, well, of course it starts at each of the individual places, but marches its way up the chain. Which is why you end up with a 3.6 million dollar punitive damage verdict. Jury was trying to send a message, pretty loud, pretty clear.

    I’m sorry to be the bearer of such bad tidings smothered in cheese and bacon, etc. Better decision is to make sure everyone understands how important it is to vote and get some of those individuals off the Texas Supreme Court. You think that those elections do not matter, but they do….

    So, consider those purchases of indulgences properly supported (by this Catholic, at least). Eat hearty. Tip your waitstaff. They may be putting up with a lot more than you asking for another cup of joe….
