The cult favorite and one of the phenomenal country singers Lana Del Rey was recently seen at Waffle House, serving coffee and taking orders from people. Lana Del Rey is known for her spontaneous nature and is the kind of person who, “likes to roll around in her truck and drink gas-station coffee. That can disarm people, but there’s no bit.” says the producer of three of her albums, Jack Antonoff to The Hollywood Reporter. 

Lana Del Rey was visiting Alabama a week ago and visited the restaurant with her siblings when she was asked if she wanted to work. “We were on our third hour, and the servers asked, ‘Do you guys want shirts?’ ” Del Rey told in her recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter of her visit to a Waffle House in Florence, Alabama. “Hell yeah! We were thrilled,” she continued.

The Summertime Sadness singer wore a blue button-up with a skirt and started serving people and taking orders from the customers. The manager from Waffle House posted a video of the Born To Die singer on Facebook while working at the restaurant. Some fans took pictures with her, shared their experience, and posted it on different social media platforms. 

Fans thought that the country singer might have a job change and would work shifts at the Waffle House, but Del Rey revealed it was just a small stint for fun and was never meant to be taken seriously. 

Lana Del Rey told The Hollywood Reporter that she got over 10,000 texts asking her if she switched job roles in her career. She even received texts from people she hadn't heard from for a very long time. A text said,  ‘Saw your picture at the Waffle House!’” the singer joked, “Did you hear the new album?”

Lana recalls a customer who ordered the same two things every day he came, a glass of coke with no ice and an empty cup. The staff told her, “Just go get it for him.” So Lana did as told, “I brought him a Coke. No ice. And an empty cup,” which she explained was used as a spittoon for chewing tobacco.
