Seeing a lot of oohing and awing at the fact that Waffle House is closing in some areas because of the hurricane and just a reminder:
The Waffle House Index is shitty because Waffle House is shitty and exploitative of its employees. It forces them to go to work as long as there isn't a mandatory evacuation.

The lack of mandatory evacuations doesn't mean the area is safe or safe to travel in, and it's fucked to force people to go to work in the middle of a fucking hurricane.
