Doesn’t cost extra to be nice to someone.
That young man will never forget this experience

Post Malone was raised right. Credit to his parents, they did their job.

[clorb]

The fact that he pointed out how patient Post was warms my heart

[matthewdunstan]

"Austin, nice to meet you.." Speaks volumes !

[alecbonerchamp]

The fact he said “he was very patient with me” made me want to cry 😢.

Posty is a legend. Also a very good dude. Cheers to him for taking the time

I like how he introduced himself as Austin. Real dude.

This man, no matter what he looks like or what he does, has such a huge heart. The way he treats other people is just crazy

i met him in front of the Montage hotel in Laguna Beach. bro was just drinking and talking to the hotel staff when my family politely asked him for a photo. he said sure and my mom wanting to get a comment in said "my son knows the lyrics all your songs" (i dont). and Post said "i dont even know all the lyrics to my songs." i want to thank him for the kindness he showed me and my family that day. it was the day after one of my close friends passed away. i will always cherish that meeting with him and i still show that picture to friends for a good story time.

That mom seems really genuine and caring. You can tell she puts her son first, the way she looks at him and talks about him. Nothing to say about Post Malone… simply a class act. He’s always been so down to earth

[racecarbed]

He's a genuinely nice person and a hell of a musician.

[fatjoshddr]

say what you want about him, he is genuinely such a nice person

[rhondawiggins]

I am a huge fan of Post Malone and I’m 70 years old. He is an amazing musician and obviously a wonderful person.😊

[rozg]

And that didn’t take up much of his time. Love seeing kind people. Celebrity or non celebrity. Happy Birthday Andrew.

[gegecatlord]

Like his music or not you can't deny he's a straight-up dude and down-to-earth which is rare nowadays

[mrbeans]

This dude is one of a kind! He was so misunderstood when he first came out, and hes like the kindest person on earth!

[grimreaper]

The fact that someone being nice to someone is crazy shocking news really says a lot.
