I don't drink alcohol. So, I quit eating out with some friends because they loaded up their drinks on my part of the bill. I asked for seperate checks and the restaurant wouldn't break up the bill. I said no problem, and quit hanging with them. I now eat out with folks who are non-drinkers, and aren't con artists. It works better for my piece of mind. And, I love cooking for them and having them over. They don't get drunk and make a mess of my place.
Yup. This was exactly the reality-check he needed to realize that bending over backwards to appease greedy and/or cheap people like Greg and Susan is not the way to go. Bending over backwards for Greg and Susan only makes them feel more entitled to ordering the most expensive food and not having to pay for it.
What you did was not immature. It was smart. Those 2 people are world-class moochers who got caught, for once. Hope your friend Dan learns from this. Next time you all get together, several of you need to make it plain that you will only be paying for what you order, and not splittling an unreasonable bill.
If i was hungry i'd order food and not be paying for theirs. Why would anyone do that when it's obvious they just want everyone else to pay for their extravagant dinner.
Why didn’t he just insist on paying for his own food & let the moochers pay for theirs & watch their expressions… Thats what I’d have done & it would’ve definitely taught them a lesson 😎
Australia doesn't do separate checks unless you specify before hand like if youve booked a table in advance you can say its a table for 6 but there'd be 5 checks otherwise you have no choice but to spilt the bill
@@alishiahampson3351Why does the restaurant have to do this for you? You can split the bill however you want yourself at the table, as long as you have discussed this with your companions before you order. You can all pay the same amount, or everyone pays for what they've ordered. One person pays the entire check, then the others pay that person what they owe them. But then, I'm from the Netherlands. "Going Dutch" is in our blood. It doesn't mean the bill is always split evenly however. From my experience most people just pay for what they've actually ordered and people do this themselves as many restaurants refuse to split the bill. There're even apps to do the math and send payment requests.
I used to work at a restaurant. It is very easy for a server to divide a bill appropriately. Takes barely any time. Just have each person pay for what they get.
This was an episode on Friends many years ago. The six always split the bill but three of them made substantially less than the other 3 and were tired of subsidizing the wealthier three.
When you have creatures like the two entitled users above it’s imperative to recognize early on that they are not your friends. Distance yourself immediately, if other people want to associate with them let them do so without you.
Wait wait wait... They had to pay more than they had accounted for when their steaks alone were more expensive than the part they had to actually pay??? 🤬🤬🤬
The first part: They accounted for having the bill to be split six ways.... But it didn't happen. It was split in three. Second part: The price of the steak that they ate is more than they have paid for. 2 steaks = 400 = 200 × 2 Non-Steak = 50 Total = 450 Split 3 ways = 150 Dan was pissed because he paid 150 instead of 50, or 75 if split 6 ways. The moochers were angry for paying 150 each and NOT 75. The two got 50 bucks discount each, instead of 125 bucks discount that they have wanted.
Get some new friends. My guess is the two other people who canceled their orders and just had drinks will be getting some new friends soon, so the "blind" friend will be stuck with the two mooches anyway. So he'd better get used to those huge bills if he doesnt have the guts to dump the mooches.
I never understand splitting the bill in identical portions, everyone pays for what they ate or one person pays for everyone and then everyone gives that person the amount they ordered for
Wtf is "they split the bill if you are lucky"? Like what are they going to do if everyone tells them they are going to pay just what they consumed and nothing more? Call the cops on you?
If Dan wants to be a doormat, leave him there to be a doormat. You told him you didnt want to come, he had to push. Tell him to shove off. As for Greg and Susan, if theyre in such 'financial hardship', they really shouldnt be ordering $200 meals. Piss off
Everyone should just order separately what they want - there’s often someone who, through no fault of their own, is on a limited budget which, if someone else is controlling it, won’t get them much and they might not be able to afford more than one course, while someone else might order the most expensive items on the menu and others are somewhere in between - unless the restaurant has a standard meal deal where you can get any starter, any main and any dessert for a tenner, plus hot beverage and a cold drink like beer or wine or fizzy drinks, it’s a bit much for people on a restricted not necessarily of their own making budget to have to find more than they have out of nowhere - everyone should be able to work to their own personal budget and get their own choice of food - but those who are on a budget controlled by someone who thinks that a few pennies is enough and refuses to make sufficient money available, even if they can afford to do so, that person should not be expected to produce additional money out of thin air - they only have limited funds - everyone should only get their own meal and not have to fund other people who order everything on the menu, but refuse to pay more than a set amount - everyone should ideally have full access to their own money and be able to order whatever they want and have the funds to pay for it - I ordered the fish and chips and that’s all I am paying for - I am not paying for smoked salmon and caviar! Restaurants should make a note of what each person orders and bill that person - not expect it to be split ten ways! You sometimes get parties of usually mixed adults and children (not necessarily parents) - the adults are in absolute total control over the situation and either make all the kids have the same thing whether they like it or not or skimp and do one between two because one each is “too expensive” on their limited, parent-provided budget - most restaurants would probably make them order one each or leave, as there’s no food sharing permitted - minimum one meal per person!
Going out to eat regularly doesn't qualify as a financial hardship. If Greg and Susan are that hard up for money, they should stay home and cook their meals or order cheaper items in restaurants. Their empty pockets don't necessitate their "friends" paying for them.
This would never happen in my country, the Netherlands. No Dutch person would pay thát much more and we'll sure let them know. "Going Dutch" doesn't have to mean you're splitting the bill evenly. Most restaurants refuse to split the bill here, so we do it ourselves at the table. One person pays the check and the others pay that person. There're even apps to do the math and send payment requests. You can split the bill however you want: evenly or everyone pays for their own food and drinks. As long as you've come to an agreement before you order.
If there is no agreement beforehand on how much is being spent per person, I won't go, got no desire to humour someone ordering the most expensive stuff on the menu, much prefer places where you only pay for what you ordered. At the most you should have given Dan a heads up on what you were planning to do or just not gone.
Everyone there knew your two "under-privileged" friends were going to try to freeload. Your "friend" Dan knew he was going to try and stick you and your other two friends with the majority of the bill. He then tries to gas-light you into thinking you are the a-hole. Selfishness and entitlement are becoming international problems I see.
@@wendyyoung7950 Pretty weird to split the bill tbh, what's the logic? People should just pay for what they want, do you have a limit on how much each person can order?
@@Yue_Jin maybe its because we are not misery guts who nitpick over every cent. Certainly if all you have had is a drink or two that is all you should pay for, otherwise split the bill, it will even out over time

I guarantee Dan’s gonna start growing a backbone now he’s left holding the bag for the moochers by himself.

Yeah Dan is TA. And if Greg and Susan are so poor, stop going to restaurants!
Funny thing is op wasnt going to come at all but it was Dan who insisted he come. And now Dan say op could have not come instead of what he did
Exactly. Dan knew what was going on.
Ir Dan is so worried about them he can help them with his own money, bet he’s going to think twice now
Right. The OP did try to decline. It was Dan who encouraged him to attend. Play stupid games win stupid prizes

In other words....
Dutch treat!!!
😆😆😆😆
Just ask for separate checks. I've never split the bill evenly with friends. It's always separate checks or one of us treats by choice.
If i was hungry i'd order food and not be paying for theirs. Why would anyone do that when it's obvious they just want everyone else to pay for their extravagant dinner.

Family members have tried to pull this on my husband before and when the waiter asked about all together or separate we immediately answer separate
Absolutely NTAH, anyone who does this absolutely deserves to be called out. And they should pay for their own meal.
Wait wait wait... They had to pay more than they had accounted for when their steaks alone were more expensive than the part they had to actually pay??? 🤬🤬🤬

Stay away from all of these people. For any social gathering invitation, you decline.
Not immature. You were totally in the right!
Tell the waiter you are a separate check and order wht you want. PERIOD. Problem solved.
Seems like the 2 have financial trouble for a reason!
I never understand splitting the bill in identical portions, everyone pays for what they ate or one person pays for everyone and then everyone gives that person the amount they ordered for
Not petty at all. If you want to use a p word, you're response was perfect.nta.
Wtf is "they split the bill if you are lucky"? Like what are they going to do if everyone tells them they are going to pay just what they consumed and nothing more? Call the cops on you?
NTA. I’m proud of you.
This is why everyone pays their own way, this split the bill is BS

Just have everybody order the same over-priced meals.

My favorite part "we had to pay more than we accounted for while ordering steaks that were even more expensive than the part they had to actually pay.
@fionaeckert4556 right? 😅 I don't know how an adult looking at a menu with prices listed could say they didn't budget for what they ordered 🤔
Dan wanted them there, so he should be the one they're mooching off of.
This would never happen in my country, the Netherlands. No Dutch person would pay thát much more and we'll sure let them know.

If you are poor, do not order expensive stuff. Easy.
Champ
You can't force someone to eat

Umm just bring cash in small bills

Assuming everyone at the table had a mouth. If they sit there and let others take advantage of you, that is on them. You didn’t do anything wrong.
