Cynthia Carter works in the drive-thru at a Popeyes fast-food restaurant in Kenner, Louisiana. For the past 30 years she has been singing the menu to customers,

WGNO reported. She sings the entire menu, including the chicken, side dishes and desserts.

“She sounds like Patti LaBelle,” one customer told WGNO.

But unlike the soul singer, Carter is no Lady Marmalade when it comes to singing the menu.

Carter began singing 30 years ago when a customer in line broke into song, WGNO reported. Carter responded by singing back.

She has been serenading customers ever since.
