1 /5 Breelyn: Be careful using the delivery option at this location, bc they will not accommodate. I spent $38 using waffle house.com delivery this morning, not including the driver tip of $7, which brought to a grand total of
45.00 for one single enteree. I spent about $13 in gratuity to the restaurant itself and delivery charges, which is expected. (In person this same meal usually costs around 18.00) This morning 11/10 at around 6 am, whichever woman and man was working that shift was very rude and unaccommodating. This location was out of the Delmonico steak. That was no problem to me, things run out. I spoke with the rude waffle house server on the phone asking could she just do the T bone instead. She said it was a two dollar difference. I never once asked for anything for free. The entire phone call I was offering to pay the two dollars. I was like okay can I pay that over the phone, even though Ive already paid 38.00, I have no problem paying the two extra dollars. She immediately got nasty and told me all the things she could not do. Im not sure why I was met with immediate hostility, as I had a pleasant tone, and I had to literally remind her to be respectful, as I was not yelling, nor asking for anything for free. The only thing I kept saying was how can I pay it.
I thought it was unprofessional, to tell me that I need to drive down there (after spending 13.00 in delivery fees) and pay the two dollars. Really, two dollars? She kept saying " We cant upgrade you, you would have to come here and pay the two dollars" I thought was quite absurd, and honestly , what is two dollars, you guys were out, and I ordered directly from WaffleHouse.com, not a third party app, so in this instance she honestly could have just given me the T-bone, but she had a point to prove, as if I was asking for something grand. Back in March, my card would not swipe at this exact location. The server pressed a button, that allowed me to manually type my card number in so I could pay. She and the man kept saying You cant pay over the phone, you need to come up here. The driver mentioned that she was experiencing a financial hardship, and in the end the driver paid the two dollars. And lets be honest, what button in your POS system is two flat dollars? That money was simply put in the drawer or pocketed. My point is that was petty. Now if we were talking a 5,10 dollar difference, then thats understandable.
I cant believe she told me I need to drive down there myself and pay the two dollars. I have been to this location many times. You cant tell me a server hasnt waived a cup of coffee or a drink for a customer before, Ive seen it with my own eyes. The driver brought the food straight to me. I ordered the steak medium. It was hard, over cooked, and rubbery, and the food was ice cold. This isnt the first time Ive had delivery issues with this location and food being ice cold. My last order it took the system three hours to find a driver. The food was clearly made as soon as they received the order, at 3am, but you handed the driver that 3 hour old food at 6:45am. Again, that order costed me 45.00, I didnt write a bad review nor call in for a refund. I just rewarmed the old food and went about my day.
I hope someone reaches out to me. Between September and October, Ive spent 185.96 with you all only on SIX single entrée orders. Please do better with the deliveries, professionalism, and basic problem solving skills.
