Oh DeAngelo....

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.

    • Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.
    • He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!
    • But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
