Country star Walker Hayes surprised three Waffle House employees in Tennessee when he gave them huge tips to mark the holiday season. 

The 44-year-old singer was joined by entrepreneur and social media influencer Lexy Burke at one of the restaurant chain’s locations in Nashville, where they handed $1,200 in tips to workers following a meal.

Known as the “Serial Tipper,” Burke, a former server, collects donations from her followers to provide restaurant staff with generous tips. Burke launched the online movement in May 2020 to support food service workers after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and she has continued her efforts since then.

“Honestly, I’m just so grateful Lexy included me in something so generous that she has cultivated,” Hayes told Southern Living magazine.

He continued, “As far as giving back is concerned, it is wild to be on this side of the gift. We’ve had people give us cars when we were hurting financially, so we know what it’s like to need a little help.”

“You ready to tip?” Burke asked Hayes.

“Let’s big tip these people,” he replied with a smile.

Burke was seen chatting with a waitress, who said she also works at a hospital. The server marveled over Hayes’ appearance at the restaurant, telling Burke, “Wow, he walked in while I was working. I don’t ever get to see anybody good.”

Another employee played Hayes’ song “Fancy Like Christmas” on the jukebox while the singer placed his order with the waitress.

“I’m trying to get this item on the menu. It’s called the Waffle Hayes,” he said. “It’s basically a waffle but with two eggs over-easy and bacon and cheese in it and folded like a taco.”

“We have customers come in and get that,” the waitress told him.

“If they get that, that’s what I want,” Hayes said.

After finishing their meal, Burke told the waitress and two other workers about her serial tipping movement.

“I do this thing like every holiday season on my social media where I just ask people to send in some spare change,” she said. “So they do that and then my friend Walker wanted to contribute as well.”

Burke told the astonished employees that they were giving them $400 each for a total of $1,200.

“What’s up?!” Hayes said before assuring them that Burke was serious.

“On my God,” said one worker, to which Hayes replied, “I know!”

“This is from tons of people who just wanted to make y’all’s night,” Burke said. “A lot of love.”

Burke gave the waitress a stack of $100 bills while Hayes cheered.

“Can I hug you?” the waitress asked.

The two hugged and the waitress said, “I’m going to hug everybody. Thank you so much.”

At the end of the video, the employees addressed Burke’s followers, calling out “Thank you!”

Before skyrocketing to fame with the success of his 2021 viral hit “Fancy Like,” Hayes struggled for over a decade as an aspiring singer-songwriter and worked at a Costco in Nashville. During a July 2023 interview with Fox News Digital, Hayes detailed his battle with alcoholism. 

The father of six shared that he was able to embrace sobriety and his faith with the help of his friend Craig Cooper, a pastor who helped him and his family when they needed it most.

While speaking with Southern Living, Hayes said, “I really never dreamed we would have much to offer anyone.”

“So grateful, especially in this season, to help anyone, however we can,” he added.

A sheriff’s office in central Florida is searching for 30 people they say were a part of an “intersection takeover” that terrorized drivers and damaged cars.

The mob shut down the intersection of South John Young Parkway and Central Florida Parkway on Nov. 30, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) said on Facebook. 

The large group “set a fire in the roadway, and used the space for cars to do donuts around the flames,” prior to harassing innocent drivers, blocking them from passing. 

“There’s a baby in the car,” someone can be heard shouting in the scene footage shared by the sheriff’s office.

The suspects “in some cases, climbed on and damaged vehicles,” OCSO said. The law enforcement agency said the “reckless and violent behavior poses a serious danger” to the community, and it is committed to “holding those responsible accountable.”

A Tesla driver said damage to his car was estimated at $60,000 after “dozens of people jumped on top of his vehicle and began to kick his vehicle windshield, causing it to break,” according to an affidavit obtained by the Miami Herald.

Some of the suspects appeared to try to conceal their identities, while others had their cell phones out recording the action. 

“I feel so really bad for the people that were just there trying to go about their daily lives and got caught up in that mess,” Dave Nutting, a law enforcement specialist and retired deputy with the sheriff’s office, told FOX 35 Orlando.

No arrests or injuries have been reported as a result of the incident.

The sheriff’s office said that If anyone recognizes any of the 30 people whose faces were shared in their video, they should contact Crimeline at 800-423-8477. People who share information with the hotline may remain anonymous. 

President-elect Trump is pressing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to name his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to fill Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat in the Sunshine State, Fox Digital has learned. 

President-elect Trump named Rubio as his pick for secretary of state last month, leaving DeSantis the decision to name a successor to the position. DeSantis said last month that he will likely name his pick for the seat by early January. 

Speculation has mounted in recent weeks that Lara Trump is a likely choice for the role, as Republican lawmakers such as Sens. Rick Scott, Lindsey Graham, Katie Britt and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida voiced support for her filling Rubio’s Senate shoes. Lara Trump is married to the 45th president’s son, Eric Trump, and co-chaired the RNC amid the 2024 presidential campaign. 

A source in President-elect Trump’s political orbit said Tuesday that the former and upcoming president is pressing DeSantis to name Lara Trump. The comment comes as DeSantis and Trump are expected to attend the annual Army-Navy college football game this coming weekend, Fox Digital previously reported.

Amid speculation over Rubio’s potential replacement, Lara Trump announced this week that she will step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) after serving in the position throughout the presidential campaign. She explained in a social media post that she fulfilled three goals she sought as GOP co-chair, and would “formally step down from the RNC at our next meeting.” 

LARA TRUMP SAYS SHE’D ‘LOVE TO CONSIDER’ FILLING RUBIO’S SENATE SEAT IF ASKED BY DESANTIS

“It is something I would seriously consider,” she told The Associated Press. “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that’s real for me. But yeah, I would 100% consider it.”

She additionally told Fox News’ Sean Hannity last month that she “would love to serve the people of Florida” and “would love to consider” filling the seat if asked.

This is not the first time Lara Trump has been in the midst of Senate speculation. Following the 2020 presidential election, rumors spread across Washington, D.C., that the Trump daughter-in-law was considering a Senate run in her home state of North Carolina. She ultimately decided against a run, endorsing now-Sen. Ted Budd.
