Not according to the restaurant owner and the waiter, it was just the opposite-a rude and abusive patron that got good service despite that, who then almost totally stiffed the server on the tip then later falsely claimed rude and poor service when the owner revealed what happened.
Haven't you ever heard the term in the restaurant business that "the customer is always right"?
Again, tipping someone is done out of courtesy, not out of obligation. The tipper can decide whatever extra amount of monetary funds that he decides to relinquish to the tippee.
These servers expect to be paid more for a tip when a person has status. They will get mad and angry when they don't, just like this server did.
I'm sure this waiter didn't make a big deal about "Joe The Bartender" not giving him a large tip that he expected for his lousy service.
I've been in exclusive hotels and even the bellhops will get mad if they feel you didn't pay them enough. Everybody always wants more for the services they do.
These workers are already getting paid a wage, so they are not going without any money. Tips are extra and they should be happy to get anything at all when their service is subpar.
All this guy had to do was wait on a couple of more extra tables without making any mistakes, and he would recoup what he felt he lost in the tip from McCoy. But being the beta that he is, he had to run to the press and make himself the center of attention, while trying to shame a man of status when it was his own fault he didn't get a big tip just to grab a couple of seconds of fame. That's pathetic. :yes:
Tips are bonuses, that's all they are. You are not obligated to get them if you don't perfom to a level of excellence.
You like to compare sports to the restaurant industry, so let's compare.
A Professional Baseball Player will sign a contract which includes bonuses that will award him extra money for performing to a extra level of excellence. If a pitcher wins 20 games he will get an extra million. If a hitter hits a certain amount of home runs or an average, he will get his extra money at the end of the season. He still gets paid regardless even if he doesn't get those 20 wins or hits those 50 Home Runs.
Same as the waiter, his bonus is how well he performed during the time of your dining experience. If he fvcked up your order, was rude about his own fvck ups, gave you slow service, then he doesn't get his bonus just as the player who didn't perform well enough to get his certain stats.
This is only the waiter's and owner's own personal opinion of how good they thought the service was. Obviously McCoy felt it wasn't up to par with what he expected it to be.
That waiter that I left the $1 and 2 cent tip for didn't do sh1t. He felt he deserved a large gratuity in which he lied and said he gave great service. So, I know how these waiters are, they expect more for doing nothing.
Finally, people who always use the "straw man" claim are full of sh1t and have lost the argument trying to make themselves appear to look correct when they are wrong. It's an easy way to duck out of the discussion claiming a "win".
There's a famous poster in here who does that all time and has lost every argument to me. In fact, I believe he has claimed that with every person he argues with. :crackup:

the point is McCoy allegedly is an a-hole towards others. Someone in this thread from the area even posted McCoy was well known as an assh0le. The waiter's picture is posted in the very article I posted. You can't tell that is a white male?
"Allegedly" an assh0le. You don't even know the man and you're making that comment. You believe one person here who makes a statement about the man because that's what you want to hear. I know people who say otherwise and the dude is a chill guy. I'm an assh0le too, so what? Assh0les still don't have to leave large tips for sh1tty service, so according to the waiter, that makes one an assh0le for not leaving a tip.

I think it's really about a rich, entitled black athlete sticking it to a white guy fan.
Ah, so there we have it, after all this, it's a race thing for you again as always.
I'm getting tired of this biased race and politics stuff in the forum.
If Brent Celek didn't leave a tip, this wouldn't even be a story and you wouldn't even care to post this in the forum. Just because McCoy happens to be black, you paint him as an assh0le calling him "rich and entitled black guy" sticking it to the "white guy".
Who cares what color the waiter is, when his service sucks, he doesn't deserve to get a tip.
Would you say the same if the waiter was black or McCoy was white? NO.
The only assh0les I see here are the waiter and the owner, trying to shame this man in the press to get some publicity out of it.
Those are the true assh0les right there, trying to stick it to the guy with status by going to the press. :yes:

Seriously? We have fools trying to turn this into a race issue?
Yes Jaylan, there's a few guys who always do try to turn it into race issue if they aren't talking against the government or "liberals" all the time. They all have been proven to be wrong several times in the last week or two. :yes:
