EDGEWOOD, Md. - Donnie Wahlberg left three Waffle House employees in Edgewood, Maryland with an unforgettable memory when he reportedly left them a $500 tip.
The Baltimore Sun reports that Wahlberg pulled into the Waffle House located at the Interstate 95 and Route 24 interchange at about 2:15 a.m. on Monday.
Wahlberg posted a photo to Twitter just before 2:40 a.m. with the caption, “No sleep 'til @WaffleHouse baby!”
Server Angi Silen told the Baltimore Sun that Wahlberg said something to the effect of "we're hungry, we're good people and we tip well.”
