Post Malone Changed A Houston Bartender’s Life With $20,000 Tip On Christmas Eve: “A Literal Christmas Miracle”
They don't make them like Post Malone.
It's always been pretty well documented that Post Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, is a good dude. From his polite disposition, his interactions with fans, even some of the gifts he's given to fans over the years, what everybody in country music has said about him... all signs point to Post Malone being the real deal. Authentic, humble, kind... just an all-around good dude.
And most recently, Post Malone is even out here changing people's lives. A story went viral on social media from a Houston woman who met Post Malone while on shift at The Railyard, a neighborhood bar and restaurant.
Picture it being Christmas Eve, and you're at work. Sadly, you're missing quality time with your children because you need to provide for them. You think that it's going to be a routine shift where you are serving those out and about the night before Christmas, hoping to spread a little Christmas cheer. Next thing you know, Post Malone saunters into the restaurant and takes a seat in front of you at the bar.
That's precisely what happened to Renee Brown, a bartender at the restaurant.
Malone walked into The Railyard right after rehearsing for the Houston Texans Christmas Day performance and left Brown a gift she would never forget.
In a social media post, Brown wrote:
"Going into work Christmas Eve, I was so sad I had to leave baby girl to go work. Oblivious that God would send me a Christmas miracle. This is hands down the most humble, personable celebrity I've had the pleasure of meeting.
He changed my life on Christmas f***ing Eve, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much, Austin."
Austin Post left The Railyard that night, tipping Brown $20,000. Brown also shared a picture of the receipt he signed, which showed that his sale amount was only a dollar, but he left her a massive tip, truly changing her life.
"A literal Christmas miracle. Grateful doesn't even begin to describe the feeling."

Given that Malone is a Texas native, he represents the spirit of Texas by giving back while he's in his home state. It's hard to be in the limelight and have a perfect reputation, but over the last year and a half, anyone who has crossed paths with Post Malone has nothing but great things to say about the "I Had Some Help" singer.
Post Malone is a rare breed. We need to protect him at all costs.
Some of the comments left on Brown's post are genuinely heartwarming. Check them out:
"So happy for you! What an awesome story and blessing. He’s an awesome person to do that."
"This made me cry. Crying over here for you."
"FANTASTIC!! I love this for you. I’ve heard he’s wonderful."
"This is so cool; he seems like such a sweetheart."
"Life changing!! What a blessing!! So happy for you."
"Glad he could give you a blessing for the holidays. What a great guy."
"Posty is absolutely an amazing human being, and I’m so happy for you. Happy Holidays, Renee!"
While you're here, fire up some Posty.
