Single mom blown away after Post Malone leaves her life-changing tip
Post Malone couldn't be any further away from Scrooge when it comes to tipping service workers.
The rapper and producer, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, has multiple hit records and albums under his belt at the young age of 29, and has accumulated even more awards to his name to prove it.
Post could easily come across cocky and arrogant, but his fans say the opposite is true - as one user on Reddit revealed the star left a whopping $3,000 tip on top of his $3,475.50 bill in November 2023.

Now, it appears the F-1 Trillion hitmaker is up to his generous tricks again, having reportedly left a life-changing sum of money in a tip to another service worker on Christmas Eve.
The employee, Renee Brown, is a single mother who has been making ends meet by working at the dive bar, The Railyard, in Houston, Texas.
The 36-year-old was working on December 24 into the early morning of Christmas Day and was struggling with leaving her nine-year-old daughter, Iliana, for the special day.
She wrote on her Instagram page: "Going into work Christmas Eve I was so sad I had to leave baby girl to go to work. Oblivious that God would send me a Christmas miracle."
That miracle happened to be the bearded and tatted up Post and his pals who gifted her with a present of a lifetime.
Renee continued: "This is hands down the most humble, personable celebrity I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.
"He changed my life on Christmas f**king Eve, and will forever be grateful. Thank you so much, Austin."
Speaking exclusively to Music Mayhem, the mom said she was in the midst of a busy shift and thought her coworker was 'kidding' when he told her Post was in the building.
Eventually, she spied him sat on the patio and told customers 'not to be weird and bug him' in a bid to give him 'a sense of normalcy'.
Post's party then enjoyed drinking and playing music on the jukebox until closing time on December 25.
When it was time to pay, Post had no check as regulars in the bar and his buddies had covered the bill.
Renee said the star insisted he was charged for something to give her a tip, and so she gave him a $1 receipt.
"I continued my close and collected all my checks and started to enter my tips", she continued, "Then I got to his. It was a tip for $20,000."
When she saw the amount, she said: “I immediately broke down crying. It was a very emotional night already being away from home, being swamped behind the bar, trying to process that they were even there and then the tip on top."
Renee managed to thank Post Malone personally and snap a pic, adding to the news outlet: "I know I was crying and thanking him, but he has no ideas exactly how much this meant to me.”
The struggling mom revealed she had endured a tough time, working two jobs, homeschooling her daughter and had been without a car for two years, rendering her 'constantly exhausted'.
The bartender said the tip means she can now afford her bills and hopes to launch her own business.
“Things have been extremely difficult, and this was truly a blessing that I can’t fully put into words", she added. “The visit alone was absolutely amazing and something I could talk about and remember for the rest of my life.”
