It's happened to all of us. We're out to dinner with someone who insists on taking care of the check and when you sneak a peek atthe tip they leave for the server，您对它的不适当感到震惊。或者，也许您有单独的支票，而您将习惯15-20％留下，但其他人只剩下5％。将下巴从地板上拿起并将舌头插入嘴里后，您该怎么办？不同的情况需要不同的反应。唯一的确定性是必须做些事情。
The Discreet Correction
This is probably the most common fix for a lousy tip and it's best used when the bad tipper is a family member whose feelings you don't want to hurt. As you're leaving the restaurant, you announce you "left something at the table" or you "need to go to the restroom." Once you are certain the offending tipper is no longer within eyesight, you hunt down your server to make amends. Do whatever it takes to find them and when you do, you hand that server more money. If you don't have cash, you get the server's Venmo or CashApp handle and send that money digitally. Get their address and mail them a check if you have to. Do whatever is necessary to rectify the situation. Sure, you could leave the extra money on the table, but don't you want the server to know it wasn't you who left the bad tip and that you're the one making up for it?

Heading It Off at the Pass
This is the method you use when it's not your first time at the rodeo with a known bad tipper. Maybe the last time you went out to dinner with them, you had to perform the Discreet Correction method, but now you know better. This is your opportunity to say, "You are always so generous, why don't I take care of the tip this time?" Or, if they insist on leaving the tip, you will have to meet up with your server and apologize in advance for the certain disappointment to come. Slip the server a few extra bills along with an explanation that your Great Aunt Sally still tips like she did in the 1970s.

温和的解释
This is for those times you are out with someone who you think can handle some tough love. When the bill is $49.65 and they add $5 for the tip, you look them firmly in the eye. Place your right hand on top of their hand. Now put your left hand on top of your right hand. Tilt your head slightly to the left and then say the following: "Servers depend on tips to make their living and I want to make sure you fully understand that. For good service you should be leaving 20%. I could have left some extra money to make up for it, but I know you would want to know how to be a better customer and a better person all around." Hopefully, this direct plea for extra cents and sensibility will be heard and understood. If not, you have no other option at hand.

Full Scorched Earth
与可怜的猛铁队打交道的这种技术可能是最有风险，但最有意义的方法。这是为了尝试其他所有事情，似乎什么都没有起作用。温和的解释没有粘住，像鳄梨那样滑落他们的人。您厌倦了偷偷摸摸的廉价背后20美元的钞票，因此谨慎的修正并在通行证上驶去不再是选择。如果您使用完整的焦土方法，请准备好要么失去这个人，要么永远不会再和他们一起吃饭。
当他们带着非常短的手臂伸到非常深的口袋里时，请深吸一口气，因为您要去核核，而且没有回头。“不！”你喊。“这不好。唐娜·夏天（Donna Summer）为她的钱努力工作，我们的服务器也是如此。我可以更长的宽容您的行为，我将不再启用您！”
At this point, pick up the check and raise it high over your head. "Tipping your server is part of our social contract. It's as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie." This is when you cue the fans and smoke machines that will help emphasize your point and you climb on top of the table. "I will be leaving a tip for our server and I will be leaving you, (insert bad tipper's name) to face the wrath of being a bad tipper. You will no longer be considered my (insert relationship) until your wrongs have been righted."
Donna Summer worked hard for her money and so did our server!
当风扇以最戏剧性的方式吹起烟雾和头发，请取回部分支票的付款方式。“我很乐意付这笔账单，我很好，因为我知道在餐厅里奖励优质服务的重要性。”眼泪从您的脸上流下来，希望至少有一个其他餐厅的人用手机录制现场，这样您就可以病毒，握手并将拳头抬到天花板上。“正如上帝是我的见证人，我再也不会和这个人一起饿了！”
In breathtaking form, point at the accused and then quickly hop off the table, say thank you to your server, and skedaddle your way out of there. You now know you will no longer have to deal with that friend or family member who is a bad tipper. They will wallow in their shame.
Clearly, some methods are not for all people. Use at your own discretion.
