Spoiler Alert: DeAngelo left $.75 on a $128.00 bill because he received poor service, and is defending himself on social media about the server's post.

I don't care how bad the service is....  If you're making millions of dollars in your career, you should do the right thing and pay it forward. If you have a complaint, there's ways of going about it without hurting that server's income.  

If any player of recent Panthers history has been on the receiving end of a 'pay it forward' contract, it's that guy.

Nah man. Bad service doesn't deserve a tip based on how wealthy the customer is. I don't owe you good money if you half-assedly take my order, mess it up, take your sweet time picking up the meal at the window and then ignore me until you decide to bring me the check. Even if you draw a smiley face on it.

Take my order and make good suggestions, take care of my family, get me the right food while it is still hot, check in with me and keep the glasses filled, then you can expect a generous tip. 

Otherwise, it's not my fault you're lousy at your job. Nor is it DeAngelo's so get off his back. 

And really, dude, we ain't getting back together. Let him go and he needs to let us go. We're seeing other running backs now and he seems to be in a stable relationship. It's for the best if we all act that way.

I could have Bill Gates money and wouldn't tip bad service.  However if I had that type of money I would buy the place just to fire that person.. thus the reason I don't have Bill Gates money. 

 

j/k btw.

 

 

 

An assassin would be cheaper.

You don't tip if the service is shitty. I don't care if you're loaded or dirty poor. Tips should be for adequate to exceptional service. That is the reason it's called a "tip" and not part of their wage

The system is fuged and service industry workers should get a living wage, but that's the way it works right now. Don't be a shitty server if you want tips. Yes, I've worked in the service industry.

tips are built into these people's wages and a bad tip is generally considered to be 10% or so. the correct tip amount for basically good service is 20%. if you are giving less than $1.00 on a bill over $100, that isn't just showing someone disapproval, that's just being a shitty person looking for an excuse to leave no tip at all.

the way you guys above are talking makes me think you generally tip less than 20% and are always looking for a reason to give even less.

basically what he did is tell someone you didn't do your job good enough so you must forego all money for it. that is unacceptable. sorry, but tips themselves are not optional, when you go out and get a meal you have to tip a reasonable amount. if you don't want to tip anything then don't go out to eat or get it to go.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
