When it was discovered that the Philadelphia Eagles player left such a small tip, there were reactions from the restaurant and even actor Charlie Sheen. McCoy initially didn’t have much to say about the incident until now. Hit the jump for details.
Via ESPN:
I tip on my service,” McCoy said Thursday. “There’s a difference between good service and bad service and just having a bad day. There’s a big difference between just being rude and disrespectful. That’s how that went.”
McCoy and some friends had lunch Monday afternoon at PYT, a burger place in the Northern Liberties section of the city. The check came to $61.56. McCoy, who has a base salary of $7.6 million in 2014, added a 20-cent gratuity and signed the tab with a flourish.
“A 20-cent tip is kind of a statement,” McCoy said. “You can’t disrespect somebody and expect them to tip you. I don’t care who the person is. That’s why I left my card, so they could see my name.”
In regards to Charlie Sheen’s involvement in the situation:
“It’s good to finally see him do something positive”.
