Do you nickel-and-dime a restaurant check?

[WhiteSteve]

Cam’ron here is talking about tabs being on him, and I know we don’t all have that good Dipset money, but even on a split bill, I agree with this…

I hate all the “you ate this, I ate that, I DIDN’T eat any of that…” Usually there’s not one person sitting there not eating much of anything and then someone else is eating three full courses, so we’re probably talking about a $10 swing, max, if you “overpay.”

Also, REALLY sucks for the server, huge pain in the ass to split tabs unless you announce it in the beginning.

Are YOU out here nickel-and-diming your friends at the restaurant?🤨🤨🤨

Bonus question with no answer: who’s cooler than Cam? I’ll wait….😝

In most cases, we'll tell the server beforehand that we're splitting the check (or the server will ask). Otherwise, one person may cover the drinks. Or the entire check. There's really no one-size-fits-all when it comes to checks with me and my friends.

[WhiteSteve]

That’s fair👍

In most "spilt" situations, one person will pay and others will just chip in an approx mate amount. No probs.

[WhiteSteve]

Nice, no ticky-tack bickering, haha

[Massageman]

(spilt or even split. ).

Nah I'm not gonna get into all of that. If it becomes a math equation I'm gonna be furious.

[WhiteSteve]

Fuck math🖕

[mandyfire98]

I fully agree lol

[Agape93]

I rarely do it, I'm usually paying anyways since I'm the one usually initiating shit.

[WhiteSteve]

Baller status, I respect it all day, haha😝

[Agape93]

Lol. I just see it as common sense.

I offer, I pay.
They offer, they pay.
One can't pay in full? Discuss beforehand and split accordingly.

When dining out with friends, I prefer to enjoy the experience and not worry too much about the exact breakdown of the bill. Sharing a meal is about the connection and the communal enjoyment of flavors, not just the financials. It reminds me of a time I enjoyed an elaborate Italian feast with friends. The focus was on savoring the pasta and laughter, not on who ordered an extra appetizer. It’s all about the camaraderie and the shared journey of flavors. 🍝😄

[WhiteSteve]

It’s just a good thing you were here, James. Couldn’t have done this without you🫡

[exitseven]

No, I always just pay half. I have been known to pick up the whole check

[WhiteSteve]

Life’s too short for advanced math, haha

[exitseven]

yes, there is that problem as well. I usually tip 20% because 15% is too hard to figure out

[NathanDavis]

I got not time for nonsense...

if people start making it about that, I just pay the entire bill and that's it, let's go...
