Man goes to Waffle House at 3 a.m., finds zero staff or customers

A man in Virginia had a not-so-average trip to Waffle House recently. He went there to grab a bite to eat, but when he went inside there was no one to be found.

William Davis woke up hungry and drove from Brookneal to the Waffle House in Lynchburg around 3 a.m. Tuesday morning.

When he got there, he saw something he never expected: an empty restaurant.

"All kinds of things go through your mind when you see stuff like that, you know, out of the ordinary," Davis said.

Davis was not expecting to find a scene like this. In the Facebook live he posted you can see dishes out on tables and signs that people had been there, like hot water running, but not a single worker.

"I felt like they had walked away because the water was still running. Anyway, I was as confused as what it looked to be," Davis said.

Davis said he stayed for a good 10 minutes or so before he left. He said it all felt very strange.

Waffle House patrons and staff get raptured. No one else.
News at 11.

First, not reported, did he call 911?! Or just posted video to get attention?

My first thought, they’re all huddled in the back room while the safe is being cracked open by robbers.

Sounds like a horror movie “Ghost Waffle House”.

This guy probably got off lucky. You really don’t want to run into anyone while at a Waffle House at 3 AM.

Alien abduction from a Waffle House. What a way to go.

I went to a Popeye’s recently - there was ONE employee. He was manning the drive-thru, the store cash register, and I saw him preparing food too.

Lucky for him, it wasn’t very busy.

I asked him - he said “yeah, the other people on the shift didn’t show up”

Just a WAG on my part, but it is possible they all ran down toe Huddle House for breakfast.

Lol. No one from any Waffle House, at 0300, is going to Heaven.
Purgatory maybe…

Something similar happened to me on a road trip. Stopped at a strip mall to get lunch at a Sbarro Pizza.

Place was open but deserted. No customers, no one at the counter, no one in the kitchen. All doors open. Creepy feel. Thought about helping myself but instead just left. Probably should have called the police.

Next time I passed through that area the business was closed.

“Cook a couple eggs and leave some cash in the till.”

That’s what I thought.

I stopped at a convenience store once that was wide open but nobody there. Another would-be customer arrived at the same time and called the cops. Came to find out later that the clerk had cleaned the till and left a few minutes earlier. He didn’t get far.
