    My husband is actually a dispatcher, so I agree that it’s a very under appreciated field! It’s a hard, thankless job, so any appreciation is welcome :) My husband also got a kick out of this picture because he’s southern and misses Waffle House dearly since we moved to the West Coast.

      Please give him my genuine thanks for his service! I also have people I love that work in the field and see behind the curtain so to speak, so I do get a little excited when I can share with others and praise this thankless but very critical and understaffed job in our society. I hope his 2020 wasn’t as bad as the people I knew and he managed to avoid getting sick in those small offices.

      But yeah waffle house is a great joke for this too I think! Actually perfect, deal with the worst of shit, no backup or authority to shut down shitty ppl, and always open even when conditions are unsafe.
