Charlie Sheen Pledges $1K to Server Stiffed by Eagles Running Back

Sheen, in a tweet Tuesday, said he pledges to give $1,000 to the server who received a $0.20 tip from Eagles running back LeSean McCoy.

Turns out the server who was stiffed by Eagles player LeSean McCoy will get his fair share—and some, thanks to actor Charlie Sheen.

Sheen, in a tweet Tuesday, said he pledges to give $1,000 to the server who received a $0.20 tip from the professional athlete after he dined in a Philadelphia restaurant Monday.

The controversy over the tiny tip blew up this week after PYT owner Tommy Up posted a photo of McCoy’s receipt on Facebook, saying his staff got “two dimes from an insulting multimillionaire.”

“Dear Tommy Up at PYT in Philly. Please tell Rob K I’m pledging 1000 dollars to him for the tip debacle just wanna help. c #NoJudgement,” Sheen’s tweet, which was re-tweeted more than 900 times, reads.

Up said McCoy and three others dined at the restaurant Monday and got “excellent service.” Despite that, McCoy and the group were verbally abusive to the staff “in the most insulting ways.”

Server Rob Knelly told the Star Ledger that McCoy and his group were rude as soon as they sat down.

After McCoy and the group left, Up said he looked over and saw the server with a confused look on his face.

“I took the receipt out of his hand and I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so callous,” Up said, noting the $0.20 tip was just .03 percent. “Twenty cents that our server has to split with the food runner and the bartender. Two dimes from an insulting multimillionaire.”

McCoy hasn’t commented publicly about the incident.
