"New update to the drama: Charlie Sheen pledges $1000 tip to restaurant server who was left just 20 cents by Philadelphia Eagles star LeSean McCoy"

Um, aren’t tips voluntary and optional?
Attempting to publicly humiliate a customer rather than hold the server responsible for a tip, which is so obviously chosen to send a message, is simply to confirm that the owner of the establishment shares the entitlement mentality of the server. This might explain why bad service goes unpunished in this establishment.
I wonder what other customer behaviors might merit public shaming by this owner? Sloshing one's coffee into the saucer? Spilling salt on the table. Asking for a second napkin? Perhaps the owner should post his public shaming policy so that customers are forewarned that they might face more than just bad food or bad service.
i think people who leave small or no tips on large tabs are dinks.
i think that unless extreme circumstances are at play, the people who name people who leave small VOLUNTARY tips, are also dinks.
if you want to make sure servers get tips, force people to pay a certain percentage tip by adding it to the bill, but make everyone aware of it before they “get surprised” on the bill. that way they can decide if they want to eat there or not.
Giving the bros the benefit of the doubt, rude, bad or no service IS possible.
The point to me though is that it’s these kind of incidents that continue to dent the reputation of the NFL. I used to eat, sleep and drink (literally) the Cowboys. Haven’t watched em in 20 years!
These morons need to be trained, if possible. I suggest a 150 hour course (1 full month) upon being drafted! After that 10 hours “continuing education” per year.
Courses could include how not to hit your wife, how not to do drugs, how not to murder people, how not to assault people in bars, how not to kill yourself in car wrecks, how to tip, how to accept NO from a woman, how to count, how to read, ALL WAYS TO DAMAGE THE REPUTATION OF YOUR EMPLOYER THE NFL and what that means to your future, .....and on and on, endlessly!
What did I forget? Rape?
He admits to getting the order wrong and then avoiding the table even though they were calling for him to come back.
And I'll betcha the waiter is one of them fellers who engage in an alternate lifestyle because he continually claims they were rude to him.
I am surprised their wasn't a claim of hate tipping a homosexual waiter.
I do not mean this in any racist manner , but..... I work in the tourism industry and have for years. Black Americans DO NOT TIP. Everyone I know in this business here shares my observation. It like they come from a different county or culture where tipping is not practiced . Australia , Japan, many places in Europe. Whenever I have an African American guest I never expect a tip . It removes any anxiety for not receiving one anyway.
My bet is he screwed up ...meant to leave $20. and left off some zeroes.
I screwed up once as I thought someone else in the party was going to get the tip ....I picked up the tab for all...and also left a couple of extra bucks too.(not near enough)
The waitress really let me have it
I would boycott the place.
This is a shakedown threat to the public.
This is nothing. I work in the Nevada casino industry. Last weekend we had someone win $20,000. They tipped the slot people who helped them not a dime.
Lucky he got the 20 cents.... A certain segment of our society were never even taught the meaning of the word “tip” or why.
Having family that have been in the restaurant biz for my whole life informs me of this.
What I get from this article: don’t want Lesean McCoy as a customer and don’t want this guy as my waiter
Guess he didn’t want to “act White” by leaving a normal tip.
Years ago, a bunch of us went out to dinner, and got truly abysmal service. Entrees delivered to various people at the table over a two-HOUR period, no refills on even water, etc.
I went classic, and left a 39 cent tip on a $100+ meal.
The waiters FOLLOWED US OUT TO COMPLAIN.
I smiled, and told them that tips were to reward good service, and, given the service we received, I was generous. . .
Luckily, I had paid in cash. . .
Here’s a tip. Negroes don’t tip!
A tip is a GIFT for good service. It is not a mandatory charge.
Good service = good tip. Bad service = bad tip. Simple as that.
When I receive good professional service I give a good tip. If not, I always leave one penny on the table so that maybe they will get the hint and improve their attitude.
I leave the penny so that there will be no doubt in their minds that I may have simply forgot to leave a tip.
My son in law worked as a waiter when he was in college and lets just say that a “certain” group of people behave like this more often than not.
For those with restless knee jerk syndrome, the “than not” implies a “not all”
By shaming their customer like this, they have shown themselves to be a small and petty as he.
Was he by himself? If so, a 60 buck burger bill should be more than enough. If not, he had others who should’ve chipped in.
Wow, what an entitled little hipster waiter.
He’s acting like a senior citizen who thinks they deserve to get 15% of my salary for doing nothing.
.....discuss amongst yourselves......
