Waffle House ends egg surcharge as bird flu-induced shortage subsides

Waffle House has a welcome announcement for millions of customers: The iconic diner is dropping its 50-cent egg surcharge.

The fee was added in February due to rising egg prices amid a bird flu outbreak. But after months of surging egg prices, they fell 12.7% in April, and the USDA reported that a dozen large eggs now cost less than $3.
