Waffle House workers are rising up across the South to demand 24/7 security, an end to unfair paycheck deductions, and a fair wage from the iconic Southern restaurant.

If you’re unfamiliar, the deductions they are talking about is a shift meal deduction. IIRC, I think it’s a 2 tier deduction where if you work like ~6 or less you get a meal deducted from the shift you worked and 6+ is two meals from your paycheck. The hour amount might be different, but there is a tiered system to it

It’s a fair ask, because some people do not want to eat Waffle House. Tho tbf, managers probably don’t even track if you ate meals at all and I have eaten more than 2 meals on shift

In any case, I do believe that there should be a clause stating that wages should increase a certain amount to keep up with CoL changes

While it was an interesting time working there, it was by no means an easy time. They do deserve higher wages and a safer work env
