Paid the Cost

The other day I was feeling a little “malnourished”… and decided I should go out and get a delicious meal. For this feast, I chose to head to the nearest meth addict rehab center Waffle House. For those of you living in undeveloped regions of the world, a Waffle House is a small truck-stop diner that serves the most delicious waffles and bacon-egg-cheese melts.

Staff

The best part about Waffle House is their friendly staff. At any time of the day you can sit down and be greeted by a warm meth smile. All jokes aside they really are super nice. Here is a good video which portrays a daytime Waffle House experience. Click here to see this lame yet accurate video. Here is a video that portrays the typical night time Waffle House experience. As you can see it is a different place altogether once the bars close and people show up to eat while still drunk.

Live Entertainment

As if that isn’t enough, they also offer live entertainment. The best shows often happen in the middle of the night when the waffle house is packed with lots of drunken patrons. The shows usually consist of a waitress getting pissed off at the cook for screwing up the order and thus causing the drunken patrons to lash out in a verbally abusive fashion. The show ends with the waitress quitting her job and storming out of the restaurant, beating up the cook, or both. No worries though… once this happens you are greeted by a different waitress who quickly explains that your previous one did not take her meds this week. Here is some superb footage of the type of entertainment you see when eating at waffle house. The below video is actually from a waffle house in Savannah GA.

Now for the Motivational Part

So what does all this have to do with motivation? Lots.

When it comes time to pay for your pricey feast you must take your bill to the cashier. At the cashier there is a little pack of what looks like brochures. These are actually job applications. How would you like to work that job, for that money, in that environment?

I grabbed one of these at first as a joke to give to a friend, but I ended up finding a better use for it. As you can see in the pictures below, this little job application now serves a better purpose.

Conclusion

What on earth could provide more motivation than a Waffle House job application tacked to the wall right above your desk. It’s like saying, “Oh you want to slack off? Might as well go ahead and fill this out now.” Whenever I am feeling like slacking and being lazy, I just look up and I am reminded as to why I need to be constantly working and developing new ideas… So I don’t have to work a shitty job in a really shitty work environment.

Anyone one who doesn’t live near a waffle house and would like some “motivation” just post a comment and I can mail you one.
