we go out a lot and we have never seen the tip come across separately

Then,maybe it is up to your bank. Not sure because this happens to me every-time I tip with the card. And the tip is not coming out separately but the pending amount changes to the real amount ( the one inducing the tip ) once it is completely processed.
