When Michael Carsley lost the fantasy football season, he found himself facing an unusual bet. As the loser, he had to spend twenty-four hours inside a Waffle House. And for every waffle he ate, an hour would be deducted from his time. Now, spending an entire day in a breakfast restaurant is not everyone’s idea of fun. But Carsley decided to make the best of it. He not only ate as many waffles as he could, but he also live-streamed the entire challenge on social media for his friends and acquaintances to see.

In the end, Carsley ate eighteen waffles and had to spend six long hours in the restaurant. The bill came to $50, making it one of the most challenging experiences of his life. However, there was one bright spot in this unusual adventure – the kind-hearted waitress who served him. Little did the server know, Carsley had more than just waffles and live-streaming on his mind. He was also hosting a live fundraiser for her benefit. By the end of his six-hour stint at the Waffle House, Carsley had collected a staggering $1,000 to give to the waitress as a token of his appreciation and kindness.
