Waffle House

[9mmforMe]

So I have been working late these last few days and found myself at WH for some very late dinner. I had a large Myerco tanto style folder in my pocket, via the clip, and the waitress came up to me and said no weapons were allowed in the facility.

I had on black pants and the knife blade is anodized black with black scales to boot, so she had good eyes. She said that if I tuck the knife in my pocket there should not be a problem, I complied since I was tired and hungry. I had to chuckle to myself, though, as I picked up the serrated steak knife to rend the meat and then eat my ribeye.

Sure she wasn't flirting with you?

At WH, while they're telling you to nix your weapon, at least they top off your coffee and call you "Hon."

Now I'm hungry for some scatter, smothered, covered and chunked. I really like their hash browns, and pecan waffles.

And that was most likely a flirt. You dog.

Hmmmm?

You sure she didn't say "Is that a big knife in your pocket or are you just happey to see me?"

I've gotta say, given that all she asked was for it to be concealed, I think I'm with the majority opinion here.

Odd that I roll through the one by our shop fairly often with open carry 1911 or King Cobra. Must not be corporate policy.

How did you miss the opportunity to say " I AM a weapon?"

 

[9mmforMe]

I guess it isnt corporate policy either...no flirting, since she looked deadly serious when she spoke to me...she must have wanted a good tip on a slow night.

LOL

Looking over the IN knife laws I don't see any definition of a standard folder as a weapon. If there's a Waffle House company policy then it wouldn't apply since IN doesn't define your knife as a weapon (Switchblades as weapons, yes. Standard folders, no.)

None the less, while wrong, she didn't make an issue of it and provided a convenient solution that didn't inconvenience you.

Suppose you had come in with a three foot long stick in the guise of a walking cane?
No one would notice. This is why I am such a big walking stick advocate. You can have it almost anywhere.
