What's the deal at Waffle House where the waitress goes to within 7-8 feet of the cook and yells the order at him?

That's a good question. Millie (the cook at the local WH) does the same thing - the cook is apparently either deaf or stupid.

Geez ... Millie works the counter, she's not the cook. They've never kept a cook for more than a few months.
