i don't even have the energy to bring it up any more, it just leads to a huge argument. If I tell them it's not enough, they tell me i'm wrong and that i can look it up online that they are right (they barely even know how to use the internet and just continue to say i'm wrong if i look up/print/email articles for them). if i offer to pay the tip, they call me ungrateful and that whoever pays the bill gets to determine how much is tipped and that if i want to pay the tip i can also pay the bill. if i just add more money they'll take it and pocket it for themselves to "teach me a lesson". I used to sneak around their back, be the last one to leave the table and add to the tip in secret but then they caught me once and now make me leave the restaurant first (that one was a huge fight where we didn't talk for 6 months). and then if i just refuse to go out and eat with them, they'll start crying and call me ungrateful. And no, i can't currently afford to treat them (in the process of making some major business moves).

Don't eat out with them anymore, simple. Who cares if they cry or call you names.

i'm not reading your post sorry man

anyway my thoughts based on presumption are that if they're footing the bill, be grateful for their contribution to your well being. when your own faculties are together, then you can take care of that waiter/waitress. if you have the goodness to feel sorry for them, that means you won't make the same "mistakes" your parents do when eating out.

Tipping in secret leads to a 6 month silent treatment

Holy shit lmfao

tips are always in cash, unless you pay the bill with the card and then add the tip. can't tip separately on a different card

Yeah, didn't realize my mistake until after.

Ask for two bills, pay for your own and tip slightly higher to offset?

Yeah, too bad. They actively take your tips away, so they clearly don't care about offending you.

I have no time for garbage manipulation like that, family or not.

Tips shouldn't be percentage based anyway. It takes just as much effort to bring 4 $25 entrees/drinks as it does to bring 4 $5 entrees/free water. Why should they get 5 times the tip for the same exact effort?

You could cover them if it really bothers you. I mean they did just drop $100 to feed you.
