13 Famous People Who Were Actually Really Nice To Me When I Served Them

I helped her buy a couple things at my store. Very kind and low-key. A little quiet, seemed like she didn’t want to attract too much attention to herself. I pretended not to know who she was, but I was dying inside. Dying. Such a lovely human. Someone give her an Oscar already.

He is awesome. Was super patient and respectful while I fixed an issue for him, even though it took some time to sort out. He actually came into the store frequently and had a great reputation with all the employees. Class act.

Earlier that day, Justin Bieber had come into my store, and I was bummed I missed him. Then I turned around and was face-to-face with Miley Cyrus! She was really nice, but didn’t stay too long — the store was getting busy and I think she didn’t want to make a scene.

Served him at a restaurant, very pleasant man. Took everything in me not to shout “BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!” when I brought him the bill. He left a nice tip. Plus he taught me about gravity when I was a kid, so there’s that.

Really mellow and chill. He was with two people who I’m guessing were his parents, and they were cracking lots of jokes. His song “Happy” came on over the speakers and for some reason I felt very embarrassed about it??? I mean, I guess I shouldn’t have been — if anything he should like that! I don’t think they even noticed, or if they did, they didn’t say anything.

Extremely kind and sweet. Absolutely nothing like her Simple Life character. Super grounded and humble and warm. I remember being surprised by her real voice — which she uses more often nowadays in public, but at the time I hadn’t heard it before.

This was back when he was on Glee, and I will admit it took me a bit to figure out who he was. I knew he was famous and every time I came to his table I’d try to place him. Eventually I figured it out! Nice man.

This one was truly wild. I had JUST seated a big birthday party of preteen girls at the front of the restaurant. Then Miranda Cosgrove shows up — and this is RIGHT after iCarly ended. Normally I wouldn’t acknowledge when I recognized a celebrity (most want to fly under the radar) but in this case I felt like I needed to give her a heads up about the situation inside. So I leaned in and said, “Just so you know, there is a big party of young girls that you’re gonna have to walk past.” And she was like, “Oh, that’s totally fine!” She walked past them, it did indeed cause a big scene, and she handled it with total grace.

I’m probably pushing the limits of what constitutes a “celebrity” here but this is a fun story and I don’t know where else to tell it: One morning my store was completely empty and then suddenly like 10-15 kids from American Idol flooded in — I’m guessing they were on a rehearsal break or something. They were so excited to be in LA and spent half an hour just hanging out in the store using the computers and flirting with each other. Maybe they didn’t have access to internet in their hotel? IDK. It was cute.

I have to admit Kate was another one I did not immediately recognize, All-around a very nice and unassuming person when I helped her! I had no idea she was famous, which is usually a good sign that a celebrity is not a jerk. I only found out who she was later when approximately 50 straight boys I worked with excitedly informed me.

This was when “Trap Queen” was huuuuuge. He was quiet, polite, and spent a ton of money. What more can ya ask for?

Came into one of my restaurants several times. I believe she got a grilled cheese and a glass of white wine when I served her. Always a gem of a human being.

I’m such a big fan of The Office so this was an exciting one for me. Very nice, asked multiple questions about a certain item he wanted to buy, ultimately did not buy it. That’s okay! I didn’t make commission anyway and was just very excited to be talking to him. 10/10 experience, would recommend to a friend.
