Last weekend in Birmingham, Alabama, thanks to a scheduling error, a Waffle House employee named Ben was the only guy working the night shift.
But something special happened.
When customers saw that Ben was on his own, they stepped up and helped. Customers were bussing tables, washing dishes, delivering food and stacking plates – all while Ben took orders and ran the grill.
A job situation that could have been a nightmare turned into a special night of cooperation -- a Waffle House miracle.
