Neither. I quietly factor it into everything else I know about the person, and consider what this says long-term about their character. Are they on a tight budget, or naturally frugal? Or are they excessively demanding and self-focused, such that the poor tip is just the tip of the iceberg as far as "issues" are concerned. If you feel like making a scene (I wouldn't -- what does that say about YOU?) or an issue over it, that seems to indicate that this is not something that you could just ignore, but rather something that over time would create resentment and repeated arguments. Don't expect to change him permanently on this or any other issue... he may placate you by leaving bigger tips for a while, while inside his opinion remains that his preferred way of tipping is fine and you're bossy and hard to please. If, after considering these things, you can permanently convince yourself that the poor tips are not indicitive of a bigger character flaw but rather an endearing quirk, then quietly and discretely slip a few bills under your plate and let it go. Let it go. If you can't, then let him go. BTW -- big tips can be a bad sign too. my ex-husband left whoppers... he also was very self-indulgent and was diverting huge amounts of money to his mistress. Also (another warning) people who are bi-polar can be really generous when they are manic, as my friend whose husband started handing out $100 bills to strangers and gave away his cell phone when the battery went low will verify.

I would not make a big deal of it..but I would leave a tip myself, maybe they'll get the hint..but that should tell you how they treat others...unless of course the service was terrible..it just depends. I still tip at least average even if the service was awful. But then again, I can't stand cheap people, and I am not talking about poor people ..I am talking about people who are stingy and cheap..especially when you know they have the money to tip! Depending on how comfortable you were with them..talk to them about it and explain where you are coming from on the tip thing..but I would do that at a time other than dinner!haha..Good luck!

Hey Princess,
You can try increasing the tip and saying something like, "I really think this service was excellent, and I want to add to your tip honey."
It says a lot about you to your date. By no means would it be fitting for a "lady", let alone a "Princess" to make a public spectacle of herself. Once you get in your vehicle, if travelling together, let your date know how you feel. It gives them an opportunity to go back into the restaurant and give another tip at that time.

No, I don't make a scene.. I just say I forgot something when we get outside and go back to the table and leave a tip. I used to be a waitress, and I know how important tips are, so if he's cheap.. and some men are ( I don't consider it a fault or something to get all witchy over ) I just leave one myself.

It's pretty obvious that people that don't tip well have never had to live check to check or else they would! I've been out with people that don't tip very well and I never said anything about (if I felt the Waiter/Waitress deserved it) I just slid some more money on their table for the tip without being noticed.

its not a reason to create a scene. You can always add to the tip and make it more appropriate if you feel its too small. For the record, lots of people are bad tippers.

No, tipping is at the disscretion of the person paying.....if they had ever worked in the service business they would probably tips better.......then again, if they tipped, it would be less money to spend on you.....
If this is the biggest problem you have with your date....God is watching over you nicely

Just tell him," Oh, i thought that was really good. Maybe u should give a higher tip." Just don't make a big scene about it.
