I waited on a celebrity at work

I'm a cashier and a few days ago I waited on the guy who played Kramer on Seinfeld. I've never seen the show myself, and he had a huge straw hat on and wouldn't speak to anyone. I had to show him how to use the credit card machine and he wasn't at all friendly. He was with a very snotty middle aged blonde headed lady. After they left, everyone came running up to me telling me who he was.
Anyone else waited on a celebrity at your work? Over the years I have waited on Pauly Shore, Diana Ross, Steve Harvey, a lot of professional wrestlers, basketball and football players, etc.

In 1989 part of my job responsibilities involved calling back customers and making arrangements for our techs to go out and set up services. I called and spoke to a person’s representative who didn’t want to give information that we needed, like the types of existing outlets, so the tech could bring the right items. I explained patiently why I was asking and apologized if the questions sounded intrusive.

I heard someone on the extension tell the guy to "get off the line", he would handle it. After that guy clicked off, this one apologized, gave me the information I’d asked for and described what he was hoping to have done. We set up an appointment, and I asked if I could verify his name and the spelling (I honestly didn’t recognize it then).
"Tupac Shakur," he said.
