Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy is not backing down despite criticism over a .20 cent tip he left at a Philly burger joint.
Tommy Up, the owner of PYT restaurant, wrote a sharply worded Facebook post calling McCoy a bad customer.
Up posted a receipt on Facebook showing McCoy left a 20-cent tip on a $61 meal. “Twenty cents that our server has to split with the food runner and the bartender. Two dimes from an insulting multimillionaire,” he wrote.
Rob Knelly, the server, says McCoy and his friends cursed at him and made derogatory remarks.
Knelly admits he messed up McCoy’s order by forgetting an appetizer, but he said the group was rude to him from the moment they sat down.
“As soon as they sat down, they were pretty rude. I asked some questions, they weren’t really responsive,” Knelly told NJ.com. “They were cursing, making derogatory comments. I put their order in and forgot one of their appetizers, which I apologized for. They ordered things, and once they got it, said ‘We ain’t eating this (bleep)! We don’t want it.'”
The Facebook post received over 14,000 “likes”, and actor Charlie Sheen offered to donate $1,000 to the server. But not all of the comments were favorable. The owner admitted receiving hate mail.
“Eagles fans, I feel ya. Id be pissed too. But a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do and stick up for his friends,” Up wrote.
McCoy says he isn’t backing down. During a media availability session, McCoy said he would leave a .20 cent tip again under the same circumstances.
McCoy told the media he tips for service and he claimed the server was the rude one.

I grew up with Lesean in Harrisburg. but thats how are we are from the burg… if you give us bad service… we will show you what its hitting for in your tip.. I dont blame him.. i left a 5 cent tip for this bish at eat n park before… it just is what it is..
What’s the big deal? If I receive bad service at a restaurant, I don’t tip at all.

Did he write something vulgar on the receipt? People need to get a life and stop looking for sympathy. I’m bout to stop fuggin with restaurants. You do a service (which by the way is getting worse and higher) We pay and yall still aint satisfied

She didn’t know what it meant and when she told her bf and he told her its origination, she got even more

Why she aint know what it meant
I don’t know who to believe in this story. Either way, whatever. If it really was bad service then you got 20 cents. If he was being cheap, he is a lame.
Well aren’t you a piece of shyt
Bastard !

:wave: princeofradio, Nice seeing U still around!
In the end the server is #Winning sheen sent her a thousand bucks
If I don’t tip I have spoken to the manager about the service. Don’t just not tip and be quiet about.
——————-
My Exact Sentiments! And I do tip
As a person that has worked in the restaurant industry, I know how it goes…. people live off of tips. I can tell ya this … can’t go out with me and ya don’t tip….. hell no
I wish I might pay $60 dollars for some dam-n burgers. That tip was already included.
This the new American Wave now. Just run to the media and try to shame a person? From Tia Mowry to this waiter.
It ain’t work for Ferguson though

Ferguson is working for themselves, They marched and protested Tuesday, I think.
I respect that, I Even donated to their jail support
If I receive poor service, the waiter is getting a poor tip AND the manager will know why. One time I left 2 pennies (my two cents) and a note for the server as to why. She was rude, kept us waiting, acted like we were bothering her asking for a refill after 15 minutes of empty cups, and then spilled water on me. My thing is, if you don’t like people you need another line of work. Period.
After speaking to the manager she gave me a gift card for the restaurant for a later date.
They getting out of hand with those tips jars tho.

chile they got them at the corner store now. Im like man go head. I aint tipping nobody when Im already paying a dollar for this little ass bag of doritos that used to be 25 cents
pay a cashier to take my money? a-ree-va-der-chee Felicia
I start at 15% and go from there. If you rude, you get the bare min. Sorry, if you want my money and my business, be respectful.
I took my daughter out to eat once, because she had done good in school and that’s what she asked for. My funds were low but I said I would do what I could since she had done the same for me. So we eat, and the waitress was nice and accomodating, but I just didnt have any extra to leave a tip. Nothing against her. Welp, she walks up to me in the parking lot, AFTER I HAD LEFT, and says “did you not like the service?” I told her I did and why is she asking. She says “well you didnt leave a tip” For the sake of my child that was with me, I politely said “well ma’am I just didnt have it to leave”.
I politely called the owner of the establishment after I left, and well I cant say Ive ever seen her there again….
Morning roses. While I always try to leave at least 20 pct. If your service is not deserving of one you will not receive one. He left 20 cents so the server would KNOW he meant that ish. I am in the habit of leaving suggestions on how you can EARN a tip next time.

I usually do at least 20% (easier to calculate) and if I didn’t like the service it’s 15% and I leave a Yelp review.
So.. unless it is stipulated a tip is NOT mandatory. It is nice and customary but not MANDATORY. Say that with me people TIPS ARE NOT MANDATORY. If a person feels that you gave them poor service that is their opinion. It does not give you the right to post their receipt and personal dining experience on the internet to try and blast them because YOU are salty. You chose that profession. If you need something that affords you a better standard of living do the education and work a job that doesn’t reply on tips for most of its pay.
So you are mad because he has MILLIONS and you are all in his checkbook saying coulda woulda shoulda :stop: If Joe Blow came in and tipped you .20 you wouldn’t say NATHANIEL. He could be richer than dude. But because he is “famous to you” he is held to a higher tip standard. FOH.

See this is out of line. Do not follow me out of the restaurant to inquire about your tip.

YEARS ago my mom and I went out to eat. When leaving, the manager asked ho was everything. My momma said, “Let’s just say I won’t be here again.”
They closed like 6months later.

I just told someone, if you do a good job, trust you will get a tip more than likely. I bout feel like I OWE YOU!

I have served in restaurants, and I have been serviced too. Being Black, and this comes from my duel– sitting down in a restaurant is like walking into a retail store—you are sized-up ON SIGHT. With that said, I read my waiter or waitress’ body language and if I think I’m getting passive service because he or she has convinced themselves that the little nigglet won’t tip…then I have no shame letting my tip reflect their uninitiated sentiments. By the way Sandra, I mainly come to your site to admire your grammar skills.

Angie done put her soul out on the blog and them nuccas was like FOH you should have went to Moes, Zaxby’s or Sonics if you wanted to eat out high end and feel special. You can eat outside on the picnic tables at Sonics, have fresh ingredients made in front of you at Moes or homestyle chicken made to order from Zaxby’s. What more did your DORTER NEED? :contained hand and face:
For the record I have never not tipped. I even tipped people at least $1 if I order a takeout of like a five piece wings for $8
My husband will tell the manager like this is NOT ok. And the server. Normally they try to make up for it and he leaves the minimum 15% because they have comped something.
Black People! You are Not paying people for things they are suppose to do. When you go to a restaurant where you are “serviced” you are paying for the Food and the Service. Had you ordered you food at a walk up counter, like at McDonald’s, then you are not paying for service. So the rule is you pay for what you get. How would you like it if you went to Olive Garden, ordered your food at the counter, and then picked you plate up at the window, only to sit down and remember you forgot to grad a bottle of ketchup and refilled your drinks. Or even mixed your bar drinks for that matter. Stop being second-citizens!!!!!!!!!!
GOODBYE

Thanks Luv N .. I’m mostly a lurker but will come out when something i can relate to lol.. have a good weekend love!
VDot, they treat us like animals because they think we can’t assimilate.
A tip is EARNED or NOT!
You are NOT obligated to tip! PERIOD!
You have other cultures that will leave $2.00 against a LARGE BILL!
This has nothing to do against the server. The idea that the establishment low-balls a server is NOT the customer’s fault!
I think the whole story is shady. What owner/manager has a celeb/athlete in their restaurant and does at least go by the table to see if the service is ok…this guy says he was at the table next to McCoy….somebody looking for a payday. If you were there and “witnessed” him and his friends being rude to your staff why not speak up? FOH
I got out to eat on a fairly regular basis. I can honestly say there has only been a few times (very little) that I’ve gotten bad service. This leads me to believe that it’s a two-way effort- from the waiter and customer.
I always check myself FIRST to make sure I’m seeing things straight. Your attitude can’t be f–ked up and you expect to receive perfect service and your group cannot be loud, self-righteous and overbearing and expect the waiter to do back flips to service you.
Nevertheless, the waiter needs to be professional at ALL times.
Telling someone to get a better job is easier said than done. I work in higher education, and while you may say they need schooling, many of them are doing just that. Working their way through school as a waiter/waitress to get a better job.
Sorry, for any typos. I’m rushing…
