One worker at a Waffle House in Indiana got the surprise of a lifetime. Donnie Wahlberg walked in for a meal and left her an amazing tip at the end of the night. The funny part? The waitress didn’t recognize him at first!

Kassandra Rhea had been working at the Waffle House in Lynhurst, Indiana for three months. When she served a customer and gave him a $48 check, she didn’t expect much of a tip. She said that when she saw how much Wahlberg left as a tip, she almost had a heart attack.

Wahlberg went to Waffle House with his son after a Celtics vs. Pacers game. When Wahlberg walked in, Rhea didn’t even recognize who he was until another worker pointed it out to her. She treated him kindly, like any other customer at the Waffle House.

She wrote, “So this is Donnie Wahlberg. He is the nicest person ever. He’s super sweet. Said it was the best Waffle House experience and tipped me 1,000. 600 for me 200 for my cook and 200 for my other server. This was the greatest thing he could have ever done. I’m so blessed that he did that. He just made things so much easier for me. Thank you so much, Donnie Wahlberg.”
