Chain Restaurant With Two Illinois Locations Now Adding Egg Surcharge

A massive chain restaurant with over 2,000 US locations just added a surcharge to your bill.

If you know about the Waffle House, you probably know it more than just its 24/7 breakfast service; it's a notorious spot for late-night brawls that go viral on TikTok and YouTube.

Now, there's something new getting customers' attention: an egg surcharge.

Due to inflation and the ongoing bird flu epidemic, Waffle House is now adding .50 per egg.

Why the New Charge at Waffle House?

In case you missed it, egg prices are at an all-time high, and Waffle House wants us to foot the bill.

Bird flu has caused shortages and massive price hikes, and while most people believe this is just a temporary surcharge, one has to wonder how long it will last.

Considering there isn't any near-term insight into how this epidemic is affecting the bird population in the US, it's just a matter of time before other restaurants begin to follow suit.
