YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDiners at Waffle House no longer have to pay extra when they order eggs — the 24-hour breakfast chain is dropping its egg surcharge in a sign that egg supplies are rebounding.
Waffle House imposed the 50-cent-per egg surcharge back in February, when a widespread outbreak of avian flu forced the culling of tens of millions of egg-laying chickens and sent prices through the roof. It takes months for egg farmers to rebuild their flocks, but they are making progress — retail egg prices fell nearly 16% in the last two months, although they’re still up from a year ago.
Waffle House quietly dropped its surcharge in June, but waited till now to announce the move. In a social media post, the chain said “the egg surcharge is officially off the menu. Thanks for understanding!”
