There are claims Robert Pattinson is a terrible tipper.
The Twilight hunk has been criticised after only leaving waiting staff $US50 following a luxurious meal with four friends at New York's Il Cantinori restaurant last week.
Despite the first-class service they received, it is claimed the 23-year-old actor failed to reward staff appropriately at the Greenwich Village eatery.
Pattinson - who was in New York to work on his latest movie Remember Me - and his friends arrived at the restaurant at 10pm and sipped bottles of Italian beer and Chianti red wine until they left at midnight.
A source told America's OK! magazine: "They were the last diners to leave."
Despite the disappointing tip, Pattinson - who tucked into the Caprese salad and the veal Milanese - was described as "nice and friendly" by waiting staff.
In the US, it is customary for diners to give staff at least an additional 15% on top of the bill total. American waiting staff rely heavily on their tips due to the low hourly rates they usually receive.
