Everyone who has ever collaborated with Post Malone speaks of his kind, unassuming nature. And the “I Had Some Help” hitmaker’s actions seem to match up with those assessments. He changed the life of a single mom working as a bartender in Houston when he left a $20,000 tip on Christmas.Eve. Now, Malone is in the headlines yet again for his altruism after dropping another substantial tip at a Pizza Hut in Utah.

Post Malone Loves Pizza Hut
Whereas other of his status may prefer to frequent more high-end pizza establishments, Post Malone likes to keep it simple with Pizza Hut. Recently, employees at a Cottonwood Heights, Utah location were preparing to open for the day when they heard a knock on the door.
“”I didn’t think it was him at first, and then I opened the door,” shift manager Kolby Aguila told a local news outlet.
It was, indeed, “him.” The Grammy winner asked Aguila if the restaurant was open. “I said, we’re open for you, man!” the “starstruck” shift manager said.
Malone chatted with the employees as they prepared his order of three medium cheese pizzas, one extra large cheese pizza, 24 boneless wings, and a large cheesesteak. Once his food was ready to go, the superstar handed over a $1,200 tip.
“I was shocked. I was, like, I couldn’t take that, and he handed me it,” Aguila said. “He’s a pretty cool man.”
Aguila added that he shared $400 of the tip with his coworker.
