Flea

A bad tipper: someone whose “little arms are too short to reach down into their pockets”.
When we go to the pub, my friend Chris tips far less than I do. He is such a flea.

My friend Chris is a flea. He tips the bartender only small amounts, certainly smaller than I do.

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.

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.

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 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.
