And the night staff just completely nonplussed about the entire thing.
The young servers getting tipped like $100 and being like “okay they are sleep deprived I need to give this back”
and the older servers just shaking their head and saying, “Dude that’s just what they do get used to it last time someone refused Batman kindly acquiesced and then later they found $200 tucked inside the bottom of their shoes”
“How did they not feel–”
“He’s Batman, Kerry”
And the cooks refusing to serve them anymore coffee after 4:00 because “no you need to go to sleep I won’t have you bouncing around” (generally said to the younger vigilantes (which they blame on Dick’s early Robin days but the fault actually lies with Tim)
However there was that one time an elderly lady diner owner took Batman’s coffee away and he couldn’t get it back. It was quite an event, the kids near worship her now
“What type of person even HAS enough money to tip each of us $100?”
A pointed look.
A gasp. “No!” Then, hesitantly, “You’re not saying…?”
“I’m not saying anything. You’re not saying anything. But we both know how many billionaires live in Gotham City.”
“Trillion.”
“What?”
“Trillionaire. Tim Drake really helped with profits and sustainable practices for the urban environment.”
“…”
“What? I did a paper on it!”Which leads to an unwavering sense of loyalty.
[Villain crashes into diner front] “I’ve finally got you, Batman! Now you will–”
CRASH!
A wild employee appears, brandishing a skillet!
“You” BANG!“ “will not” BANG! “touch them” BANG! “while they have” BANG “their morning” BANG! “COFFEE!”
So as I person who works nights, i’ve recently come to appreciate 24 hour food places, and One would imagine that in Gotham most of the super/bat community have as well. batfam sitting in a Waffle House eating ‘like normal people’, except that it’s 4am and everyone in beat9 ways to Sunday. Bruce is still bleeding all over, Damien looks like he’s got half a windshield stuck in his face, Dick is 50%sure he just swallowed a molar, and Steph is just shoveling hashnrowns into her mouth and grinning
