Stop wasting my money on barber's once I went away for college.
When I was a kid I never tipped and given I had the same barber since I was 9-10 I paid the same $10 for the longest.

Yeah I'm usually pretty good with mental math, but once any booze kicks in that ability is one of the first things to go.

Friends that I dine out with don't ever "over" order. We all work and can cover the bill no qualms, but I don't ever recall a scenario in which someone didn't want to pay because they didn't order a portion of the table.

talking occasions where multiple apps or entrees are split among the table
i didn't help myself to the calamari and mozz sticks so i'm not helping paying for them is sort of a trash mentality
if we're all just ordering a personal entree and drinks then that's different

That ain't happening with me.
Not splitting food with a group of ppl. Imma order what I want.

One of my notoriously cheap friends once adamantly refused to add an additional $5 to his portion of the check for the tip despite the fact that everyone else at the table did so.
One of my other friends got really annoyed and told him "you realize you're putting a $5 price tag on our friendship right now, don't you?" which made him (begrudgingly) cough up the additional $5.
He's still cheap, but he's been markedly less cheap when he's gone out with us ever since.

Damn, son buckled to peer pressure and threats from fake friends.One of my notoriously cheap friends once adamantly refused to add an additional $5 to his portion of the check for the tip despite the fact that everyone else at the table did so.

I would've switched that around like our friendship is really worth $5 to you?

I mean you can't really tell someone how to handle their portion of the check.

well.... i said sort of
it's one thing if you're pressed for cash
it's another entirely if you're not

He walked into it agreeing to split the check and the tip, and then tried to rescind because he thought $5 was too much. Call me crazy, but I think friends should keep their promises and cooperate with one another.
There are more clever ways to distort logic.

Ah, he's a cheap fool then. You didn't mention that initially.
My "friend" hits me with the we gotta split the check and tip prerequisite and I'm going to eat with someone else that night.

Any friend that tries to mandate you into an arrangement you're not comfortable with isn't a friend.
But then again, I've never had a "friend" that dictated to me how a check was going to be divvied up without asking what I would want to do first, and I'm not too sure how much that phenomenon even exists.

But you are demaning someone pay for something they had no parts of and then turning around and giving character analysis over it.
I don't get it but cool.
- 12,470

It basically all boils down to expectations and effective communication.
I don't care what the arrangement is, just talk about it beforehand and don't decide to throw a curveball at everyone when the check hits the table.

This is the dumbest argument in the Food Threads history!
PAY FOR WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK!
