Waitress stunned after receiving 'biggest tip of her life' from Post Malone
The woman was blown away by the star's generosity
Claire Reid
A woman who has been waiting tables for almost two decades was left stunned after Post Malone gave her ‘by far’ the biggest tip of her life.
The subject of tipping has been a bit of a contentious one in the US in recent months, with one American saying it’s gone ‘too far’ and another shopper gobsmacked after being asked for a tip at a self-service check out.

However, it seems that Post Malone - real name Austin Richard Post - doesn’t seem to mind at all, as he recently tipped a whopping $3,000 (£2,445), as well as paying a 22 percent service charge totalling $535.26 (£436.28).
Sharing a photo of the receipt on Reddit, the woman wrote: “Been serving nearly 20 years and by far the best tip I have ever received. Such a genuine and cool dude.”
The post was soon flooded with responses from impressed fans of the star, as well as others who shared that they’d also served Post Malone and similarly hefty tips.
One fan said: “He lives here in Utah where I live. He’s known in the community to be the nicest, most generous guy. Everyone loves him.”
Another said: “I was working at a place that did a pooled house. Post Malone came in with a group, and we all made rent that night. Thanks Posty!”
A third wrote: “I worked his birthday party this year and he tipped each of us servers $1000 (£815.09), for maybe five hours of work and was ridiculously sweet.”
Someone else said: “I have a friend who dealt for him at a casino and she said the exact same thing. Posty tipped her well and she said he was an absolute sweetheart the whole night.”
Robert Cianflone/Getty ImagesThis isn’t the first time the Rockstar singer has shown off his big-heart. Earlier this year, Glasgow-based Gregor Hunter Coleman says Post offered to help him out with his house deposit after meeting him in a bar.
Coleman said Post approached him after hearing him sing and told him he ‘smashed it’ before asking if he wanted a drink, which Coleman declined, explaining that he wasn’t drinking at the time as he was saving for a house.
The rapper respected Coleman's decision and instead invited him to do a set at his concert's official after-party.

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's hilarious reaction to being caught chatting during Post Malone performance
The two famous pals had a funny reaction to being projected on the big screen

Taylor Swift clearly forgot she is probably going to be the most eyeballed person in the crowd at the Super Bowl tonight.
Despite having years in the spotlight, it seemed to slip the singer's mind that her every move at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will be broadcast around the world.
She was spotted having a good old gossip with her best pal Blake Lively shortly before kick off - and right in the middle of Post Malone's performance.

Swift was seen cuddling up to her close friend and fellow celeb while swaying to his rendition of 'America the Beautiful' in the stands and appearing to also be engaged in quiet conversation.
As they uttered a few words to one another as Post Malone belted his heart out, the fan camera panned to the famous pair and caught them in the act.
For the first few seconds, they didn't seem to realise that their sneaky chat was being shown to everyone else in the stadium - but their reaction when the penny dropped was pretty hilarious.
Swift was seen gasping and bursting into giggles as Lively - who's jaw had already dropped - whispered in her ear to alert her that they should probably save it for later.
All eyes are on the 'Bad Blood' singer tonight as her boyfriend Travis Kelce does his thing on the football field below as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
CBSAfter hopping on a plane from Tokyo straight after stepping off stage, she hightailed it straight to Las Vegas to make it back in time to watch her man.
Swift was seen arriving at the pivotal game alongside Lively and rapper Ice Spice.
Her presence at Kelce's NFL games has caused a bit of a stir of late, although it has made some people a lot of money thanks to a boom in viewership, merchandise deals and ticket sales.
The pop star's other half isn't a fan of all the craziness that's followed him since they struck up a romance, though.
Although the tight end said it's been 'nothing but fun', Kelce admitted he isn't too happy about a certain conspiracy theory about their romance that has been circulating online.

Some suspicious social media users have claimed by that the result of Sunday's (11 February) game is already a done deal and that the Chiefs are going to roar to victory simply because of the pair's romance.
They reckon that the sheer power and sway Swift has over her fans - and arguably, the globe - will easily translate to the football field.
But Kelce hasn't taken the conspiracy theory lightly and he had some pretty stern words for people stirring up speculation.
When asked what he thought of people who doubted the authenticity of their relationship, he laughed as he said: "You're all crazy."
Kelce then added: "Every last one of you, you're crazy."Featured Image Credit: CBS

David Beckham reveals last words Sven-Göran Eriksson said to him as pair said goodbye
Former England star David Beckham paid tribute to his manager
Jess Battison
David Beckham has shared the last words Sven-Göran Eriksson said to him as the pair said 'goodbye'.
It was announced this morning (26 August) that the former England manager has died at the age of 76.
A statement on the Swede's site confirmed he had passed away after being diagnosed with cancer, surrounded by his family.
The first foreign manager of the England men's team, he took charge of 67 matches from 2001 to 2006 leading the team to the quarter-finals of three major tournaments in succession.
Paying tribute to Eriksson, Beckham shared a recent video of the iconic football player and coach duo to Instagram.

"I will be forever grateful for you making me your captain but I will forever hold these last memories of this day with you and your family...
"Thank you Sven and in your last words to me 'It will be ok'."
Beckham's ex-teammate, Wayne Rooney, also paid tribute to their former manager after Eriksson handed the player his international debut in 2003.
The ex-England captain wrote on X: “Rest in peace, Sven. A special man.
“Thanks for the memories and all your help and advice. Thoughts and prayers with all his family and friends.”
Fellow player Michael Owen also posted: "Rest In Peace Sven-Goran Eriksson. One of the very best and a man who will be sadly missed by everyone in the world of football."
The Prince of Wales shared a personal tribute to the former manager as he wrote: "Sad to hear about the passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson. I met him several times as England manager and was always struck by his charisma and passion for the game. My thoughts are with his family and friends. A true gentleman of the game. W.”
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham also paid tribute to Eriksson, who famously led the Three Lions to that 5-1 win over Germany in a World Cup qualifier in Munich in September 2001.

“Sven will be rightly recognised and forever remembered for his significant work with the England team, and for his wider contribution to the game.
“On behalf of my colleagues at the FA, past and present, our thoughts are with his friends and family today. He will be much missed, and we will pay tribute to him when we play Finland at Wembley next month.”
Eriksson's life and legendary career was recently told in a new Amazon Prime documentary where he talked about how he hoped to be remembered.
“I hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do,” he said.
“Don’t be sorry, smile. Thank you for everything, coaches, players, the crowds, it’s been fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of your life. And live it.”
