Burke, known for her online "Serial Tipper" movement, collects donations from her followers to generously tip restaurant staff. This initiative began in 2020 as a way to support food service workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hayes expressed gratitude for being included in Burke's generous effort, reflecting on his own past experiences receiving assistance during financial hardship.

The heartwarming exchange was captured in a video posted on Instagram. Burke introduced Hayes as a "surprise contributor" before they entered the Nashville Waffle House. Inside, one waitress expressed her excitement at seeing the country star, while another played his festive tune, "Fancy Like Christmas," on the jukebox. Hayes even jokingly inquired about ordering a "Waffle Hayes," a customized waffle creation he described.
