I know we have discussed tipping here ad nauseum over the years.
Ok, so here is the situation. Just got home from going out to dinner with my dad, he is 77yo. Small, local mexican food place. Approx. 12 tables and above average food (average food really, but compared to other local places it is above average). Service is good, friendly, and very little opportunity for it to be rated exceptional. Bill for my dad and I is $40 (no bar tab). Dad insists on paying. No problem. I forgot how poorly my dad tips and I don't have any cash on hand. So he tips $2 on the bill and I know he believes that this is perfectly OK. He isn't trying to be disrespectful, it's just how he is. I privately apologize to the waitress.
When we leave in separate cars, I go to the nearest ATM and get money and go back to the restaurant (approx. 10 mins) and give the waitress another $10. (Dad doesn't know this.)
How would handle this situation? It isn't worth the argument to bring it to dad's attention.
