McCoy say the service was bad and was making a point. Owner says the party was rude and disrespectful.
A couple of callers to our local Sports Talk radio stations claimed that restaurant staff were bringing McCoy things to sign during the meal.
Without proof, it's a he said/he said tie.
Leaving a 20 cent tip to my mind is not "not tipping", it sounds more like "tipping to make a point".
Whatever the story, the owner of PYT will never see my business again, just for the posting of the receipt. On that point I don't care who is right or wrong, the restaurant should not have done that.
hmmm I get a 20 cent tip from a man who has millions of dollars and I make a big fuss about it. I then sell his receipt for over 100k and I charge 6 bucks to ship it. Yeah that makes sense to me.
Per Fox News "It was posted by user with the name of “fauxrean” who identifies himself as a friend of the owner of the Philadelphia burger joint "to ensure something positive comes out of this somewhat negative action that has recently taken place.""The receipt isn't being auctioned by the waiter, or even the manager, from what i'm reading. Also, I can't imagine that any of those bids are real.
What would the implications have been if McCoy had left a Fiddy Cent tip?

There are two sides to every story, and McCoy may have a case. PYT has only three stars on Yelp, the popular restaurant rating website. Many of the complaints from the users there are about service, which Bowen cites as the reason for the bad tip.

So, three stars and complaints about service, yet because this guy has money, we hold him closer to the flame for his actions? I don't watch football. If this guy was walking down the street, I wouldn't know who he was. And even if someone came running up to me and said "Look! It's LeSean McCoy!", I still wouldn't know who he was.
Without being there, we will never know what the real story is. I don't find it hard to believe that some rich football players acted like jerks and I don't find it hard to believe that a restaurant with three stars gave bad service. It could go either way. I agree that it was wrong to out this guy in this manner, and if I was the football player, I'd probably tell people that I would no longer be spending my money at that establishment. Being in Philly, I'm sure his fans would back him up.
I tip. I can't remember not tipping. I have to say though, that I loathe tipping. I would prefer that a business owner, no matter what it is - food, hotel, hunting/fishing guide service, whatever it is, pay their own employees what they are worth and not make them rely upon me to make up the difference. All these people that receive or do not receive tips being pissed at the consumer should turn that disdain towards their cheap #ss employers.
What ticks me off is tipping has extended to take out. So now, when I drive to pick up my pizza, I have to tip because they put it in the box for me.
I don't care what this guy did or didn't do any more than I care what a group of New Jersey teenagers say to each other, or what real housewives from wherever had for dinner, or what Honey Boo Boo wore to her last pageant, or what some movie stars kid looks like.
I don't understand the interest in "celebrities" and in what strangers do in the course of their private lives.
Multi-million dollar athletes have no room in the karmic universe left to leave pathetic tips to restaraunt servers. If it weren't for the gift from the great genetic lottery, they'd be working along side the staff they stiff.
