Waffle House Customer "Has it His Way"
A South Carolina man has become an overnight celebrity after his Facebook post went viral last week. Better yet, his selfie even landed him a job offer.Alex Bowen of West Columbia, South Carolina, went to a Waffle House around 3:00 am early on the morning of November 30. He was hungry, but he found the restaurant’s only employee asleep. Rather than go away hungry, Bowen took matters into his own hands: he went into the kitchen and made himself a Texas bacon cheesesteak melt (with extra pickles). He took a video and some selfies, posted them on Facebook, and even cleaned up after himself, scraping down the grill when he was finished. The Waffle House employee never woke up, and Bowen says that no one came into the restaurant the whole time he was cooking. He even returned later in the day to pay for his food.
After Bowen’s post went viral, Waffle House issued a statement that even though customers should never go behind the counter (for safety reasons), the company was grateful to Bowen for pointing out a flaw in their business. They even asked him to become a “secret shopper,” which is someone who visits restaurants and other businesses as an anonymous customer and then reports on the experience. They also offered Bowen a job as a cook, citing his now-famous cooking abilities.
