David Letterman is following in Lana Del Rey’s footsteps by trading in his Hollywood job for a role as a grocery store clerk.One day after the singer, 38, made headlines for working as a waitress at an Alabama Waffle House, Letterman, 76, surprised shoppers at an Iowa location of the grocery store chain Hy-Vee on Friday, July 21, and shared an inside look into his shift with fans online.Letterman kicked things off by purchasing “cheesy breadsticks and flatbread pizza” while recalling his past job at an “independent-owned” grocery store in his hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana. “And if I can give something back to the marketing community, I would like to do that.
