On Monday, a Boise waitress got a $25 tip and a sticker that could be worth as much as $5 on eBay.

The 2-by-2 green sticker has a logo for Poison, the 1980s glam rock band with such hits as "Talk Dirty to Me" and "I Want Action"

Cheri White, a waitress at Cracker Barrel on Overland Road and Interstate 84, waited on Poison members Monday afternoon.

"I didn't know who they were. I just walked up and took their order," White said. "Then one of them said, 'Hey, here's half your tip.' And he gave me this," she said, pulling the sticker out of her order pad.

Few people, if any, noticed the band's tour bus pull off I-84 and into the Cracker Barrel parking lot. At least two members of the band, Rikki Rockett and C.C. Deville, stepped off the bus looking, well, like rock band members driving from Vancouver, Canada, to their next gig: a Tuesday show at the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot.

Before they left, the band members signed a plate, menus and receipts before quietly boarding the bus once again with two gallons of sweet ice tea to go.
