wanted to pay a 20 percent tip, but thought that paying 20 percent means paying 20 cents.

Good thing he doesn't play DB. He'd never be able to tip a pass away from the receiver.
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy is not backing down after the owner of a Philly burger restaurant wrote a scathing Facebook post calling him a bad customer.
McCoy left a 20-cent tip on a $61 meal at PYT on Monday afternoon. After he left, the restaurant's owner Tommy Up posted a photo of the receipt on Facebook. A day later, he wrote a long post where he accused McCoy and his group of being "verbally abusive" toward the staff and only tipping 0.03% despite "impeccable service."...
"As soon as they sat down, they were pretty rude. I asked some questions, they weren't really responsive. They were cursing, making derogatory comments. I put their order in and forgot one of their appetizers, which I apologized for. They ordered things, and once they got it, said 'We ain't eating this (bleep)! We don't want it.'"
McCoy is not apologizing. He said in his media availability on Thursday he said that he tips for service and he wouldn't change a thing about how he tipped at PYT that afternoon. He also claimed the server was the rude one.

The receipt showing the 20-cent tip Eagles running back LeSean McCoy left on a $61.56 bill at a Philadelphia burger joint last week is up for sale on eBay. Current bid: $85,000.
From the seller's description:
The item up for Auction is the controversial $0.20 Receipt for Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean "Shady" McCoy's meal at Philadelphia Restaurant, PYT. The aforementioned receipt has caused quite the media buzz amongst social media/news networks/celebrities along with many others. Not only do you get to keep a memento of weird current events/social media history but you also get an autograph from incredibly talented Philadelphia Eagles running back, LeSean McCoy!!! As to how I came into possession of this item: My good friend Tommy Up has left this receipt in my possession in order to ensure something positive comes out of this somewhat negative action that has recently taken place.
The auction, which has solicited more than 100 bids, ends on Saturday. Proceeds from the sale will go toward "the largest tip possible to all PYT employees for their hard work and dedication."...
"The twenty cent tip that the Eagles' LeSean McCoy just left our server on his $60 check is going to come in really handy for that new official NFL McCoy jersey he had his heart set on," Up wrote on Facebook. "That is a .03% tip. New record!"

If there are any, I'm sure they aren't sports fans!
