In this particular waffle house, a waitress was on the receiving end of a really special act of kindness from Donnie.
The cost of the meals of the group was just $82.60 but Donnie leaves a huge tip that had his servers completely shocked. He left them a whopping $2,000 tip.
On his Facebook page, Donnie shared his reason for such an amazing generosity.
“My mum waited tables, and my dad tended bars– for years! So, when I walk into a #Wafflehouse, and the staff treats me like a king, you better believe I treat them like queens! Thanks to the team at @wafflehouseofficial Charlotte, NC!”
According to a witness, one of the waitresses was shaking with amazement and joy at the actor’s kindness.
Another person who witnessed this moment, Cindy Higashi, said:
“They were screaming and cheering! It was very gracious and generous of him to leave such a great amount.”
