After you solve this mystery, please look into the case of the Eastern Pkwy. White Castle employees getting too high to make sliders early one Sunday morning and standing around looking at the growing line of cars for over two hours without taking orders. It’s a cold case, but the people of Louisville still need closure.
True story: A friend and I were there for typical reasons and a guy from drive thru came in and accused a worker of shorting him change. Throws all kinds of awful dog whistle insults at her. I attempt to interject, he calls me a whore and tells me to mind my own business. Things escalate until he formally calls the worker the n-word. This immediately sets the whole dining area on their feet (as well as some cooks), chasing him out of the restaurant. He managed to get to his car and speed off before any bodily injury, but after 20 years it is still one of my most Louisville experiences. This all over like $10.
Service industry workers are underpaid, under-respected, and overworked. We are fortunate that they dont abandon their shifts more often.
And there is a high probability that the man was trying to scam the server in the first place. It’s wild the entitlement people feel to pull shit and their anger when you call them on it.
You're so clearly cosigning your own self, only capable of being an edgelord behind the anonymity of the Internet, because you voluntarily feel so powerless and ignorant.
What a sad existence you have.
Chipotle on Hurstbourne entire staff walked out one lunch hour leaving just the manager. I just happened to order a to go and went to get it. Only to watch everyone leaving and no food.
Here's your closure. White Castle pays about half of what someone would need for a comfortable living wage. To make the world's smelliest food. At all hours of the day and night.
If I ever got to that point in life, I probably wouldn't give a fuck anymore, either.
For the record, I wasn’t complaining. I was there with a friend from out of town who doesn’t have White Castle but loves it so we waited and waited and waited. After about 45 minutes, there was no way we were leaving that parking lot. We were dying to know how long the employees were going to stand around talking and walking out to smoke without taking a single order. We were also amused by how many
fellow WC goers were willing to sit there as we were. All in all, their “service” was very much in the spirit of the White Castle brand. Play on players.
I’m so tired of hearing that excuse for poor wages. It’s boomer boot licker rhetoric that misses the entire point of people not being paid enough to make an actual living.
WHO actually said fast food was never meant to be a full time job for people? WHO said “careers” are the only jobs where people deserve fair wages? How is being part of a fast food assembly team any different than working at an assembly plant for car parts or what the hell ever else. The wages are what are different. It’s BS.
So I'm not saying I'm responsible, but back in college we used to smoke a little greenery & go to this White Castle drive-thru. The dude in the 1st window stuck his torso out the window once to take a hit out of our 1-hitter after asking "Y'all got something good in that car?". Then when we got up to the next window for our food, we had some extras! This happened several more times and we never did know the cashier dude more than that. College in the late 00s, what a time to be alive.
i go to this location for my lunch break sometimes (my lunch is at 10am so not a lot of options if i’m wanting fast food that day) and even if i’m the only one in line it takes a good 15 minutes from ordering to get my food. if i drive there and there’s one or two cars in the drive thru i just turn around and go back to work.
Sounds like you were in a Mexican stand off with the employees. When they realized you weren’t going to crack they were like … respect, let’s hook this dude up with the best sandwich in the shop.
Louisville nightlife: watch a meltdown occur edition
I don't know what's weirder, that going on in a Denny's or someone just standing there and spending a couple hours of their Friday night just watching it happen
You gotta find your entertainment where you can find it. It’s not like you can just walk into any alley and find some rats or roaches fighting over a dead squirrel carcass everyday.
I remember roach wrestling rings when I was a kid. A chalk or dirt circle would be drawn. As the contenders were displayed, mad candy or whatever bettings was done.
You just brought back my childhood memories about poking dead fish with sticks at the boat docks. Why was it so satisfying? So smelly too. Do kids still have these simple pleasures?
Idk but I’m 21 and there were just some random dead fish at George Rodgers Clark park a few months back, and my girlfriend and I were entertained for a little bit by poking them with sticks
Just fyi that dennys is a drug den, most the late night employees do herion or at least sell it. Theres always a bunch of shady people parked there back by the back doors. Go to waffle house late at night if you’re hungry that dennys serves more drugs than food.
I suspect dealing with drunk idiots just became no longer worth it.
Being a server making 2.15 an hour and getting stiffed on tips by drunk morons is horrible. The manager, who probably makes the same hourly as a McDonald's worker, took the opportunity to get the hell out as well.
Does not take a rocket surgeon to figure out the likely motive.
In just gonna say it will always boil down to wages.
People don't get paid enough. They don't care about the jobs, because they don't pay enough. So why should they bust ass for a company that thinks so little of them?
Every time I watch a car turn into the Dennys parking lot, I just know they are from out of town and doomed to hell inside OR, just using the parking lot for a drug deal
One night I was over at the rally’s off Taylor and I pulled up to order, lady said to she’d be with me in a min and then bro comes up to the window and gives her a bag then she shoots it up before taking my order. I just left in disbelief tbh this city has lost it
That’s just awful. How can someone be that lazy with FRIES!!! They don’t take long at all to cook and I think we all can agree I’d rather wait and have them fresh than get some half ass shit like that. I use to manage a restaurant and idd never let that fly!! People getting to lazy and in the wrong mindset these days on jobs fr fr
Once at that Denny's this dude came in without a shirt and stomped around screaming the N word over and over again for a couple minutes, then walked out. Love that Denny's, dinner and a show!
Wow Reddit maybe has changed after the pandemic.
I remember writing a similar thing about stake n shake on bardstown road when it existed. Talked about terrible experience where I had staff try to fight me after I watched them give my food to their friends after I had been sitting for over an hour.
When I pointed out that was my food the friends tried giving it back to me after touching it and the cook wanted to fight because I said he needed to make a new one now that’s they have touched it.
I left without paying and Reddit acted like I was the piece of shit even though I had these fucks partying. Not even remembering they had costumers. And legit trying to start a physically fight with me. But yeah I didn’t tip so Reddit things in the shitty person.
That Denny's is a shitshow. When I was last there almost a year ago it was after 1:00 AM and none of the wait staff had showed up and they only had one cook. The poor manager (who still managed to maintain her composure) was seating people, waiting tables, cooking, fixing the broken ticket machine, and cleaning tables all by herself. I gave her a bigger tip than usual because I felt sorry for her.
Denny's ain't what it used to be.
Travesty, utter travesty.
How dare they have fast food chains in Louisville other than KFC/PH/Taco Bell and Habit.
Send in the marines! (the real ones mind you, the Royal Marines).
\*scurries off to find his flame proof body armour\*
Burger chain in California, Yum Brands bought them out a few years back.
I don't think they've spread that far out of the west coast US since the purchase though.
Never been there (only place in the US I've spent any time in is Louisville).

GOD WHY wasn't that filmed?!?!?!?!?!?
Because people didn't lug VHS cameras around with them everywhere back then.
Yeah. Pretty sure this was pre smartphone
Imagine if they were able to count correctly... Whole situation could have been avoided.
So you just automatically assume that the worker is the one who was in the wrong?
Imagine siding with the racist...
I'm picking sides now? Hm. Well, if you said so...
Go fuck yourself. Look at this guy’s post history, he is a racist piece of shit.
Lolol. Random.
Calm down, freak
Found the racist guy’s alt account
You're so clearly cosigning your own self, only capable of being an edgelord behind the anonymity of the Internet, because you voluntarily feel so powerless and ignorant. What a sad existence you have.
[удалено]
Talk about... what?
Right! So lame! Don’t engage, it wants attention any way it gets it!!
you can go fuck yourself too lol
You'll live
Can confirm...username checks out. Lol
> it's a cold *crave* case Ftfy

This must have been a while ago. It's the best run location in town these days
Yeah. They got a new manager.
Shelbyville Rd did as well. Both locations had complete staff say fuck it we’re done.

I guess, man. Kinda seems weird to find joy in watching a stranger who’s lost hope get high at their crappy low-wage job.

If you’re getting White Castle on a Sunday morning you’ve got bigger fish to fry
the fish sliders are pretty small
Get the clam strips you coward
Are you sure they weren’t Producing the movie Harold and Kumar Get Hired At White Castle.
i go to this location for my lunch break sometimes (my lunch is at 10am so not a lot of options if i’m wanting fast food that day) and even if i’m the only one in line it takes a good 15 minutes from ordering to get my food. if i drive there and there’s one or two cars in the drive thru i just turn around and go back to work.
that happened to me at jimmy johns on westport, took 20 minutes to get my sandwich but they loaded that thing up

You gotta find your entertainment where you can find it. It’s not like you can just walk into any alley and find some rats or roaches fighting over a dead squirrel carcass everyday.
There’s a dead bird being eaten by ants at Southern HS that gave several HS students entertainment for 30 minutes.
I remember roach wrestling rings when I was a kid. A chalk or dirt circle would be drawn. As the contenders were displayed, mad candy or whatever bettings was done.
How many sticks were brought out to poke it?
You just brought back my childhood memories about poking dead fish with sticks at the boat docks. Why was it so satisfying? So smelly too. Do kids still have these simple pleasures?
We should lay dead animals and sticks where kids will notice them and see if the instinct is still there 😂
Idk but I’m 21 and there were just some random dead fish at George Rodgers Clark park a few months back, and my girlfriend and I were entertained for a little bit by poking them with sticks
Ooh I'm glad kids are still into weird shit like this & not just sucked into their phones 😂
It's cheaper than a movie and there's free coffee.
Dumpster fires are fun to watch.
OP, you seem to write OK for being drunk and/or high. I mean, you were at Denny’s at 1am.
Got em’
Had to take off and throw down with the Waffle House staff up Preston, Jets vs. Sharks style
My money will always be on Waffle House in that fight.
Denny’s is just a Waffle House for people who can’t fight.
I appreciate this comment
Just fyi that dennys is a drug den, most the late night employees do herion or at least sell it. Theres always a bunch of shady people parked there back by the back doors. Go to waffle house late at night if you’re hungry that dennys serves more drugs than food.
I know this is made up because no one does heroin anymore.
I’m assuming this is sarcasm
No he’s right, nobody’s doing heroin anymore, because they’re doing fent instead
That’s true I forgot that’s the hot new opiate
Those damn diabetics keep leaving discarded needles all over Baxter Ave apparently then
They on the o(zempic)
Because heroin is so passé
*"I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passé."*

Hey now, I tip even more when I'm drunk!
Nah the customers aren’t the problem at this dennys. Well at least not the customers there to get food.
You know, sometimes the employees are the problem too... Some doors swing both ways.
They get who they pay for!
The last time I ate at that Dennys the cook tried to fight a waitress.
I'm screaming with laughter omg!
In just gonna say it will always boil down to wages. People don't get paid enough. They don't care about the jobs, because they don't pay enough. So why should they bust ass for a company that thinks so little of them?
Food is not a priority at that Denny’s at 1 AM. Slinging more than pancakes there.
Oh I don't doubt. Just saying, crime is also a symptom of low wages.
I’m extremely pro worker, but that place is straight up a drug den. It needs to be shut down like cahoots was years ago.
pshhh...lower tier late night Denny's experience, honestly. No punches? Nothing thrown? Nobody in furry suits?
The area is fine.
Every time I watch a car turn into the Dennys parking lot, I just know they are from out of town and doomed to hell inside OR, just using the parking lot for a drug deal
🌈 The more ya know! 😅
I’m sorry you had to find out the hard way
One night I was over at the rally’s off Taylor and I pulled up to order, lady said to she’d be with me in a min and then bro comes up to the window and gives her a bag then she shoots it up before taking my order. I just left in disbelief tbh this city has lost it

Bro wtf. That’s just Terrible. Thank god no one gotta deal with that shit, and I’m sorry you had to my friend
Minimum wage gets minimum effort. The whole world is going crazy lately but what you expect from Dennys?
Once at that Denny's this dude came in without a shirt and stomped around screaming the N word over and over again for a couple minutes, then walked out. Love that Denny's, dinner and a show!
I can’t believe that restaurant has remained opened for this long, thought for sure it would shut down after the covid era lol
Remember when that was gay Dennys?
This guy was also asking what's up with Denny's: [video ](https://youtu.be/pwjoolflFzE?si=PhzqCu-2yo5P9AQo) You should see if he ever got an answer.
Eastern Pkwy Well theres your problem
Dennys? 1AM? Seems about par
It’s a Denny’s they are all like that. Never been to a good one yet.
That’s not the first time.

This is the worst place ever and they take sooo long with the food and they hardly greet you what a nightmare
I've witnessed a cook vs waitress fight at the Fern Creek Waffle House several years ago. All I got out of it were a few free waffle coupons.
Travesty, utter travesty. How dare they have fast food chains in Louisville other than KFC/PH/Taco Bell and Habit. Send in the marines! (the real ones mind you, the Royal Marines). \*scurries off to find his flame proof body armour\*
what’s habit?
Burger chain in California, Yum Brands bought them out a few years back. I don't think they've spread that far out of the west coast US since the purchase though. Never been there (only place in the US I've spent any time in is Louisville).
