Each day, Twitter user @_emcarr's grandfather, Mr. Johnson, visits the burger chain's El Paso location for breakfast. According to her tweets, he started his daily visits shortly after his wife passed away.

It seems like he's made some good friends at the store, because they had a secret plan for when Mr. Johnson's birthday rolled around. Employees brought in balloons and an orange and birthday cake that read, "Happy Birthday Mr. Johnson, Customer #1, Whataburger."
