FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[solewoman]

Which is VERY dumb considering we have had handheld calculators for damn near 15 years at this point.

People forget they have calcs on their phones.

 

[Master Zik]

Y’all tip ur barbers doe ?

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.

 

[solewoman]

The times I miss dating an accountant.

Lol. It’s not hard at all.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I don't see how the dude was being timid at all. Also just sounded like he put emphasis on "beef patty" because no one gets their egg sandwiches on anything other than a kaiser roll.

Very odd interpretation.

We don't need your negativity today man.

 

[Mark Antony]

Lol. It’s not hard at all.

Sure is when you're drinking. She just had a brain for numbers, and I passed engineering level calculus.

 

[solewoman]

^i disagree

 

[Mark Antony]

^i disagree

 

[Comparison Ford]

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.

 

[macbk]

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.

 

[heelsandeers]

I mean pay for what you ordered and things should be fine.

I don't want any parts of paying for someone else. You need money to cover your order then verbally ask for help. Don't assume we splitting anything.

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.

Why do we have to speak in extremes?

 

[Comparison Ford]

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.

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

 

[Mark Antony]

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

 

[heelsandeers]

Why do we have to speak in extremes?

well.... i said sort of

it's one thing if you're pressed for cash

it's another entirely if you're not

 

[Comparison Ford]

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.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

well.... i said sort of

it's one thing if you're pressed for cash

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.

 

[Comparison Ford]

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.

 

[kingkoopa]

This is the dumbest argument in the Food Threads history!

PAY FOR WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK!

 

[lawdog1]

This is the dumbest argument in the Food Threads history!

That is a mighty bold statement, my friend.

There have been a lot of very dumb arguments in here

 

[Comparison Ford]

Yeah this one doesn’t even crack the top 10.
