"He drove an old '80s BMW, had an attitude, and never left more than two bucks."

I'm an Associate Editor on BuzzFeed's Pop Culture team who spends my days fangirling over all my favorite TV shows and movies.

The people who shared their stories allegedly speak from personal encounters. Obviously, we weren't there when they happened, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt.

"He always ordered two meals. Then, as we were cleaning up the restaurant for the night, he would come in, sit very quietly, and eat his two meals. He always sat at the same table, and I was the only one to whom he would speak. He was very sweet. He seemed to know he was a bit neurotic. After he had finished, he’d quietly sort of bow a little to all of us by way of a thank you. And he always left me a tip of at least 50% of the bill. Lots and lots of celebrities came into our restaurant. He was by far the kindest."

"Later, I found out that celebrities often do more to hide their voices than their faces because you can wear a hat, not shave for a couple of days, whatever — and be fairly incognito, but if someone hears your voice, it’s a dead giveaway. Anyway, he came in a few times for lunch and was always super cool to me after that first time, I think, because I didn’t get all weird on him. Left a nice tip every time, like 50%, which isn’t much for just a burger and fries, but does add up and is more than the 20% most people gave me."

"He said to me, 'I’ll be sitting right here, you bring me the check when you’re done.' I took a quick glance at Willingham and noticed an earpiece and wire running along his side and a concealed pistol in a holster mostly covered by an overcoat. As it turns out, Willingham was Oprah Winfrey’s bodyguard.

And so I approached Oprah’s table, not sure what to expect. I introduced myself, and Oprah politely called me by my first name, saying, 'Well, this is my first time in this restaurant. Can you please just walk me through your menu?', which I did without concern.Make a long story short, Oprah ordered a cup of chicken soup and a cup of hot tea. Her guest, the college student, got a sandwich and fries. The total check was about $35. And Willingham left a 100% tip. On her way out of the restaurant, Oprah stopped to say hello to some diners. She was a pure delight!"
