Kind of a car accident:
I was on a smoke break on my job as a chef at an imitation Waffle House one day and I saw a police officer take his cruiser into one of those automatic drive-through car washes.
The spinny brush thing ripped the antennas off the top of the car and turned them into a flail rotating at 40 RPM.
His car looked like it had been attacked by an angry jackhammer by the time he jumped the curb and drove it out of the car wash.
It smashed out the back windshield completely, left dents all the way across the hood and trunk, and had sprayed soapy water into the cab of the car.
I heard not too much later that that police officer no longer worked for the city.
He was supposed to take it to that car wash but he was also supposed to use the little jet-powered sprayer to hand wash the car and him choosing to be lazy destroyed a police car with less than 10,000 miles on the odometer.
I would have loved to see this, sounds like it looked cool
Imitation waffle house…?
Yeah there's a bunch of companies that duplicate The Waffle House model like huddle House and Waffle King and places like that. I've worked at a bunch of them but this one was a Waffle King.
I’ve seen a huddle house before but never been in one.. never seen a waffle king though :D
It's been a long time since I lived in that area and I don't even know if the franchise still exist but they tend to be typically in the very Southeast, like Georgia and parts of Alabama stuff like that.
For being a place that calls itself the waffle king, their waffle mix was watery and pretty shitty and I do not recommend it's not worth the effort.
Ha! I am from the south but haven’t lived in the US since 2009…. I do still go to waffle house when I go visit my family though 😅
It’s the A1 on the hashbrowns that draws me back.
