Chief meteorologist Zach Daniel made a family's night when he and Virginia's CBS 6 unexpectedly paid for their meal at Denny's.
"Sorry to interrupt your dinner," he told them. "We are starting the CBS 6 season of giving… What that means is they're letting us go out in the community and do something for somebody each day. Today is my day."
Of course the La Paz family of six was pleased, just like the lucky supermarket customers whose groceries were paid for by another news station.
But, it wasn't just the family that was in for a surprise. The waitress serving them that night got five minutes of fame that she'll probably remember forever. Just wait til you see her moment in the spotlight — it'll surely put a smile on your face!
Several viewers commended the news station for this special moment, including one who recalled being served by this waitress the last time she was eating at Denny's.
"She was having a bad day for sure but still had a smile on her face trying to keep her head up even when there was a great lack of support by most of her coworkers," the Facebook user wrote.
