My biggest problem with the “Waffle House Index” is that Waffle House shouldn’t be able to make these fucking decisions.

For a Waffle House to be open that requires staff be there, and it’s not like that staff magically teleports north when their shift is over. If Waffle House closes at the last possible second how are you, the Waffle House employee, supposed to evacuate?

They should be forcibly shut down by the state long before they themselves are deciding to.
