During the summer, Lana Del Rey spent time pouring Coca-Cola and coffee at a Waffle House in Florence, Alabama. She was visiting friends and decided to hang out there with her brother and sister for several days in July, as she revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"We were on our third hour [that day], and the servers asked, Do you guys want shirts?" she said. "Hell yeah! We were thrilled."
Staff also made her a name tag.

Del Rey felt motivated to help out and remembered assisting a specific customer.
"There's this regular guy who visits daily and always orders two items, so they suggested I get it for him! I fetched him a Coke without ice and an empty cup."
She included chewing tobacco when referring to "dip." Speculation arose after video and social media posts surfaced of Del Rey working behind the counter in her uniform, leading some to believe that the popular singer of "Summertime Sadness" was secretly working as a waitress.
Del Rey playfully remarked, "It would have been great if my album went viral. When I woke up, I had received around 10,000 messages, some from people I hadn't been in touch with for a decade. They were saying things like, 'I saw your photo at the Waffle House!' [Laughs] I couldn't help but ask, 'Have you listened to the new album?'"
