Astonishing: An Egg Surcharge At Waffle House In Missouri?
Waffle House egg lovers welcome to my world of paying more for your Waffle House Breakfast.
Those who know me know I'm a finicky eater. One of the things I don't like is eggs. Don't get me wrong; I'm fine if eggs are used as an ingredient, a breading batter, or part of a coating in a meal. I even enjoy French toast. I've never been a fan of eating eggs as a separate dish.
I try them occasionally because, frankly, egg dishes look good. Not to mention, I get jealous of the big plate of breakfast food many egg dishes come with. Usually, there's meat involved, some hashbrowns, and sometimes even pancakes. Meanwhile, I'm across the table ordering pancakes, hashbrowns, and bacon and paying through the nose for it.
Well, welcome to my world, Waffle House egg lovers. CNN reports that the soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers' orders. Waffle House has added a temporary 50-cent egg surcharge because of how expensive eggs are.
CNN says Waffle House told them the surcharge results from an egg shortage caused by HPAI (bird flu), which is driving up the price of eggs. They say egg customers and restaurants are forced to make difficult decisions, so instead of raising their menu prices across the board, they decided to add the surcharge until prices come down.
So yes, if you stumble into a Waffle House during your journeys to Columbia or Kansas City for a late-night or early-morning plate of eggs, expect to see that surcharge on our check. My advice is to pay it, don't try to avoid the eggs, and get something else to avoid the surcharge. Take it from the guy who's not the Eggman: you'll pay more for your non-egg breakfast at Waffle House or any restaurant. So suck it up and enjoy that omelet if that's what you want!
