If you're in Denny's and it's your birthday, your life sucks!

Not all 'mericans have been able to milk and bilk Uncle Sam for the over generous pension and benefits as y'all did, Johnny.

No some people were able to dodge the draft and let other people put
their life on the line to protect the country for a salary that did
not even meet the minimum wage at the time.
If you lived that life for over two decades, you deserve that pension.
Give John a break.

Not sure if I've ever been in a Denny's restaurant but I wouldn't belittle others who may only be able to treat their families to modest surroundings.
Guess we should just mark it up to different cultures.

Harry's dislike of Denny's is likely because some of their restaurants
have a history of discrimination of minority customers, especially black
customers. There are a number of these cases, one of which resulted in
a civil lawsuit that cost Denny's 54 million.

I commented favorably on the decent breakfasts the restaurant has...nice
try, though.



Nice try? My comment was intended to be complimentary.

But I guess you're right. I tried.

Denny's is an OK place to go get a grand slam after the bars close but
I am not sure most people would consider it a birthday present. It is
basically a Waffle House without the "Scattered and Smothered" home
fries.

Whenever we drive "souf" and leave early in the morning, we drive down
301 until we hit a good, close crossover to I-95, and have breakfast at
a Waffle House. Love that food once in a while and, of course, there is
always plenty of drama at a Waffle House.

Don't you just hop on 207 right past AP Hill? (another evil name that
has to change)

Yup...there's a Waffle House there just on the other side of I-95.
However, there is a lot less drama in that WH than in the ones in the
Carolinas.

I was usually rolling when I got there and would not stop until I
needed gas. My trips to Florida were always about as non-stop as I
could possibly do. The best car for that turned out to be my Gremlin.
That was a one stop trip, Clinton to Treasure Island.
It had a 25 gallon tank and would make it all the way on one fill up.
(handy when gas was hard to come by in the 70s)

Funny... I don't go to Waffle House very often, but I've never encountered any drama. And how would you know? You don't stop in Carolina, remember? It's scary.
