Did anyone else catch Pat McAfee’s show where he discussed how Rocco’s GM was angry, rude and insulting to him, telling him he couldn’t pay with a check because it would bounce? Rocco’s is getting torched on social media.

People trying to give multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. Credit card limits aren’t typically that big

Rocco’s owner is probably a crazy ‘tolerant’ lib

Not to mention the credit card fees on something like that would be a major consideration.

2% on a $200k purchase would be $4K.

Should've just done a wire transfer if he were worried about a check but there could always be more to the story so who knows?

From now on, the winner in my eyes will be the school with the lowest number of shots.

Tx in the lead, GA in 2nd and OU in 3rd



Better off donating directly to food pantry in your city. Once they made this corporate it lost appeal. At one point it was truly a fan contest. LSU likely ruined it by corp buying up drinks.

Just a psy-op to try to protect LSU’s record. Nice try…

A bar - no matter it's history associated with a major sporting event - is still a business and public perception is pretty important to that business. How they treat a customer, even one you'd think would be a VIP, says a lot to potential future customers.

Not Pat McAfee at Rocco’s. The GM of Rocco’s told McAfee his check would bounce.

I wonder if he didn’t realize who he was talking to or if he is just that stupid.

Probably a combination of both...their jello shots suck! had one last year and besides being unable to taste alcohol, it was warm...

I wonder how the GM will fare in all of this. Fox News, USA Today, Yahoo Sports, and others have picked up on the story.

That guy is a major douche bag and donate $.50 of every shot to charity, but advertises that most of it goes to charity

He’s cleaning up every year and people continue to do it

I’m glad Pat called them out especially the way they apparently treated LSU fan Coop. Pat seems like good people.

Rocco’s only donates $1.50 from each shot and pockets the other $3.50. They are still making about $3 per shot.
