If you go to the Dollar General off South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, you’re likely to get more than just the items you purchase: you might get a song too.

Cashier Luke Holliday loves to break into song while he works, and one of his customers recently captured him doing it and posted it to YouTube. The video went viral and the attention led to some unexpected results.

Current State talks with the famous “singing cashier” himself, Luke Holliday.
