Just make sure you always do the same when you're the one calling.
I don't usually go this far, but whenever somebody calls with one chip (or a couple of chips, but well short of the full amount), I don't table my hand until I get at least a verbal indication from the player that they are calling my full bet. If I bet $275 on the river, and they toss in one $25 chip, I literally say "Are you calling my $275 bet?". Only if they say yes in clear language do I table my cards.
If they then still refused to pay the other $250, well, we would end up with a serious problem. I don't like rat-f***s who steal, and don't tolerate it mildly.
