A low tipper in a bar or restaurant. Refers to someone who, like a flea, has arms that are too short to reach down into his/her pockets.
The bartender served a pair of guys and, hoping for a good tip, presented the bar tab to the guy he knew was not a flea.

The official name of the court building at Kent and Wellington Streets in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes it is colloquially and erroneously called "The Supreme Court Building" (even by experienced journalists) because it houses the Supreme Court of Canada. But it is officially called the "Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building" because the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court also both regularly sit in their own courtrooms within the building.
I'm going to the Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building to watch a Federal Court of Appeal hearing.

My doctor says my triglycerides are too high because of alcohol. So I need to order a smaller-sized beer. Bartender, give me a Fisher Price beer please!

Someone who gives very low tips; in a bar or restaurant; a bad tipper; someone who, like a flea, has (so to speak) arms that are so short, they cannot reach into his pockets.
Hoping for a good tip, the bartender presented the bill to the guy in the red shirt, not his friend. That’s because the friend is a flea.

A person who doesn’t tip or tips very small amounts in a bar or restaurant. Refers to people who, like a flea, metaphorically have arms that are too short to reach down to their pockets.
In the hope of getting a decent tip, the bartender presented the bar tab to the person that he knows tips well, not to the flea next to him.

A person who is a bad tipper. Someone who does not reach into his or her pockets to tip, almost as if he or she has short arms like a flea.
The bartender, wanting a big tip, did not present the bar tab to the flea. He presented it to his buddy instead.
