Eagles running back LeSean McCoy left a waiter at a Philadelphia burger joint a 20-cent tip on a 60-dollar tab.

The true details behind the meager gratuity are cloudy, but both parties have shared some thoughts on the matter.

Thus far, the majority of the commentary has come from the waiter and the establishment’s management.

After the incident, the owner of the restaurant posted the credit card receipt showing the 20-cent write in on social media.

Both he and the waiter said that McCoy and his group were behaving rudely and treating the staff poorly.

The waiter acknowledges that he did forget the table’s appetizer, but says it was extremely busy at the time.

He also mentioned that getting an order from McCoy and his dining companions was quite difficult.

Further, the group was described as being verbally abusive, making derogatory comments about women and showing ‘contempt’ for the restaurant workers.

Les Bowen, a sports reporter for the Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com, said that McCoy told him the reason behind the bad tip was poor service, but didn’t elaborate.

The public’s response to the situation has been mixed.
