Apparently Dak is a big tipper

[Corso]

I really don't like when people are rude to wait staff. Even if they make a mistake, there's no need to be a dick about it. I'm not the type of person who could be a waiter, and just stand there and take it while some db who wants to feel big berates me over his steak being undercooked.

What a db! I only berate if it's overcooked...

Well yeah, overcooking a steak should be a crime punishable by death, and even though it's the cook who actually did it, the waiter was an accomplice after the fact.

That whole Gatorade cup thing cracked me up. I'm not even ranking on Dak over it, it's nice that he doesn't expect people to follow him around and pick up after him, but neither do I. I just like to rank on all the people who raised his pedestal up another 10 feet because of it. I mean, there was a whole friggin' thread devoted to it! How Dakophantic can people be???

This $1000 tip thread I understand. It's at least more than most of us are capable of doing, and it shows actual appreciation for what someone else is doing in her job. In and of itself, it still doesn't mean he's a philanthropic super nice guy, but it's something to justify liking him personally.

To me this is the same thing as the Gatorade cup. The only difference is most don't have that type of money to do that. If others had that type of money to do it they would and I know this from experience. My dad and his business partners have left tips like that but because they're not people the average person knows it's just eh like it should be period. You should be nice regardless but when folks hero worship people they make small things bigger than they are. That's just how I see it and as usual folks going to disagree and that's ok too. Probably because I'm around people that can and do do this anyway this doesn't impress me like most people.

I would expect no less from an emotional person like yourself either. The ole emotional heartstrings doesn't make sense logic. So if I say that Dak being nice is something I don't really care about the next logical step is that I want an abuser and overall mean person? Do you see how stupid you sound? That's not the next logical step at all. Please use common sense I beg of you. Why would I give him credit for doing what we expect from everybody? Please spare me this emotional garbage. Like I keep saying most people are "nice" so that doesn't impress me but when you hero worship folks the smallest junk impresses you. If he gave his whole check I wouldn't care and lastly I didn't complain about Dak at all untruth teller. I'm complaining about y'all Dak worshippers giving the man credit for nothing.

I’m not going going to argue with you anymore. It’s clear that you don’t like Dak. I think Dak is (from what we see) a good character and a good man. You’re not going to change my mind on it. You’re also not going to change my mind on the fact that he is a growing QB that could become a really good QB one day. You seem like a pessimist. Finding everything and anything you can to hate on anyone (specifically Dak). Dude gives a 1000$ tip (which isn’t something you can give credit to someone for doing because I wanna know what normal person gives 1000$ tips. Hell, some celebrities don’t even do that), and you still hate on him. Also I’m not a Dak worshipper. I have complained and criticized him when due. I give him credit when he is due (like he should be right now). You act like he’s the worst QB that’s ever played in the league and he shouldn’t be credited for anything. I wouldn’t waste my time replying to me cause I rest my case.

On the other hand, there are a lot of well-to-do people who wouldn't even consider giving back this way (I think you alluded to this in one of your posts) so, while it doesn't necessarily make him a great guy, it's better than being one of those guys.

You're not arguing with me in the first place. I disagree with you and others groupie ways. You're allowed to have them just like I'm allowed to call you out on them. Also spare me that tired lazy online logic of I hate Dak because I don't kiss his butt like you do. He's an avg qb and the other stuff don't matter. If telling the truth is what qualifies as hate in 2019 guilty as charged now what? When did I try to change your mind? Get over yourself.

I don't seem like a pessimist it's just you seem like an enabler that makes you think I'm negative. If someone demonstrates over years the same flipping flaws I'm not about to be like yep they're going to fix it now. Funny thing neither do most of y'all outside of being Dak groupies. If some regular person was out of shape for 3/4 years in a row you wouldn't be optimistic that year 4 was the one they'd put it all together get real. Y'all just want it to happen but I'm under no illusion that just because I want it to happen it will on something I don't control. Again liar I didn't hate on Dak just treated him like a normal person. I was "hating" on you human worshippers. Dak isn't normal financially just like my dad (who I mentioned but guess you too busy being emotional not reading the whole post) so again not impressed. Like I said you want to be impressed he impressed and I'm going to make fun of it because I don't think it's praise worthy.

Lastly liar stop making up expletive. If damn near all my post say he's average how the flip do I act like he's the worst starting qb ever? Stop using emotions and use actual logic. You look stupid exaggerating things I've posted when people can see exactly what I've posted about Dak for themselves. I don't think I've ever said he's the worst just he's Alex Smith so please stop lying all the time about what I've said about Daks abilities. If that was the case you're resting you've lost already for all the lies you put in the case counselor.

You must not get out much or come from an extremely privileged background if that's your definition of a dive

Or you must know nothing about the city I've lived in for 20 years.

I mainly agree but I don't think just because someone has money they need to tip way above and beyond. It's cool if you do but shouldn't be expected and I don't think it makes you some good guy. I'm sure it's people that folks now think are bad that tipped nice. I don't judge people on that because then ime it leads to people judging those that can't do that and the reasons why. Believe me I've heard from people that have opinions on why and I'm sure most don't want to hear why so that's why I personally try to stay out of that type of judging. On other issues like Dak stuff I'm flawed as ever though lol.

If someone says this act is really nice and you think that is "worship", its really about you and not the people posting here.

Use context sir or don't but if you think this is all based on just tipping you're not being smart at all on this issue. It's nothing about me but if as usual online you want to make it be to feel better so be it.

It is his money and he can do whatever he wants with it but I hope he refrains from doing it often. The practice carries the potential of attracting fake scandals and opportunists.

One of social media's pitfalls is it ability to communicate vast amounts of information that can be disseminated by individuals wanting to take personal advantage to get their 15 seconds of fame. Next time, a waiter may recognize Prescott and remember this story but Prescott may believe the waiter does not deserve a $1,000 tip. Or next time, another waiter may have read how Prescott tipped $1K and considered he or she provided a $2,000 level of service because their mind is warped like that. Scenarios can vary but they all could result in someone being disgruntled, taking to social media, and twisting the situation to serve their own misplaced ego.

Then again, any celebrity should comprehend the pitfalls of interacting with the general public and act accordingly. Kindness is a virtue but dispensing it without forethought can make anyone a target for malicious foolishness.

It was just a really kool thing he did. Made that waiter/waitress day or week. I love it when people that can do that do it.

 

[Kaiser]

Use context sir

The context is that Dak has been a quality human being since day one. The context is also that he has been a team leader since Day One, unlike Carson Wentz, who has multiple teammates badmouthing him in the press.

The context is that this is one more in a series of positive things written about Prescott (and I'm not even saying this incident is true, most of these stories good or bad are fake).

So if fans agree its a good thing, its not about "worship", its common sense.

I put my self though Undergrad waiting tables in San Diego 25 years ago. DE Leslie ONeil was a good dude and I still remember 100% tips he left back then (tips like the OP were unheard of back then). He was a good guy but it didn't hurt that he knew we would come up with excuses to have the hot hostesses bring something to his table.

Kellen Winslow, HOF TE who made tons of money..... not so much.

He is certainly doing all the right things. Saying the right things. Just needs to elevate parts of his game a little and he is a franchise player..

Who argued he wasn't a "quality" human being? I'm a fan I don't agree it's about worship to me. You don't ok but you're not changing my mind like I'm not changing yours so what's your point? You want to tell me how much more of a fan you are or something? We disagree so what's next?

I am sure lots of well to do people don’t tip well. My wife and I are not well off but we try to make sure to tip well. And I have noticed and been around people that serve or served for a living and they always tip extremely well.

Yeah, ONeil wasn't a superstar but his contract was probably like 10 Million in today's dollars. What he left me was pennies against his paycheck.

And if you have done the job you kind of have to tip well, I can still remember customers I had back then that were really nasty to me.

My point is that its stupid for you to call three quarters of this board "Dak Worshipers" .

They are and it's not just for this one thing. The fact you think it is makes me think you're also on the Dak serum. 3/4 of the board didn't even post in the thread so try again.
