Famous Singer Spotted Working Shift at Local Waffle House
You really never know what you may see at a Waffle House.
Diners at the 24-hour breakfast spot in Florence, Alabama, got a surprise on Thursday when pop star Lana Del Rey appeared to work a shift at the restaurant.
The “Summertime Sadness” singer sported the server’s uniform of a blue polo shirt, white sneakers and a yellow nametag that read “LANA.”
Video of Del Rey helping a customer went viral on social media.

Alabama resident Karina Cisneros Juarez told AL.com she was shocked to see the Grammy-nominated star working at the breakfast joint.
“She was there, wearing a uniform and everything,” Juarez said.
“It was a bit surreal. I just told her how much I loved her music and her work in general. She was super lovely and incredibly nice.”
One TikTok user shared that she saw Del Rey bring a man a cup of coffee and exclaimed, “What just happened?”

“She just wanted free waffles,” one Twitter user wrote.
