Restaurant owner says LeSean McCoy was 'verbally abusive to our staff' before leaving 20-cent tip
Bill Streicher/USA TODAY Sports
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy ate at PYT burger restaurant this weekend, and the restaurant caused a stir after posting McCoy’s receipt on its Facebook page. The receipt showed that McCoy tipped just 20 cents on a $61.56 tab, which PYT says is a “new record.” When asked about the tip on Monday, McCoy had a short message for reporters.
Popular opinion on the tip seems to be split. Some believe McCoy’s tip may have been due to poor service, and some believe McCoy might just be a bad tipper. McCoy didn’t explain his side of the story, but PYT owner Tommy Up addressed the situation in a lengthy Facebook post. According to Up, McCoy was “verbally abusive to our staff in the most insulting ways.”

Mr McCoy and his three companions came into my place on Monday afternoon, and immediately the whole staff was excited. Mr McCoy is a skilled athlete and is one of our beloved Philadelphia Eagles. A true Philly legend and a sports hero. Understandably my staff was really pumped, especially on the heels of they terrific win the day before. (Go Eagles!).
Mr McCoy and his friend sat inside at a booth next to my management and next to me. They were given excellent service. Impeccable service. If anything, our server was a little nervous as was our food runner, because they are big, big fans.
He and his group, from the moment they sat down, were verbally abusive to our staff in the most insulting ways. The derogatory statements about women and their sheer contempt for the staff serving them wasn’t the end, however. After Mr McCoy and his group left I looked over and saw their server, my friend, with his head bowed down and with a very confused look on his face. I took the receipt out of his hand and I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so callous. Mr McCoy had left a .03% tip for our staff. Our staff that was beyond excited to see him walk into our burger joint and was excited to serve him. That’s twenty cents on a tab of over $60. Twenty cents that our server has to split with the food runner and the bartender. Two dimes from an insulting multimillionaire
