Alex Bowen told WIS-TV he couldn't sleep and was hungry Thursday morning, so he went to the popular restaurant for a late-night snack. "No awake employees in sight".
"Walked back in and waited a few more minutes and then it was go time", Bowen told the station.
This SC man made the best of a late-night trip to Waffle House and cooked food for himself and every other customer after finding an employee sleeping on the job.
Here's the sleeping employee.
He said he credits the customers for the courage to go behind the counter, but a representative from the store isn't laughing, according to one of the employees.
When he walked back inside, Bowen noticed a single employee who was asleep.
He waited 10 minutes at the register, yet no one else appeared, Fox Carolina reports.
After enjoying cooking for himself and others, Bowen added that he "cleaned the grill, collected my ill-gotten sandwich and rolled on out".
Customers served by Bowen.
A spokesperson for the restaurant said the employee that dozed off was suspended for a week.
"For safety reasons, our customers should never have to go behind the counter", the statement said.
"In a related note, obviously Alex has some cooking skills and we would like to talk to him about a job, since we may have something for him".
