Not wanting to split the bill?
Advertisements
I am out on a vacation with a friend.. It was supposed to be a 3 day trip. I usually eat only once a day and survive on coffee because of this new diet I’m trying.
He likes to eat in fancy places and everytime we go to a breakfast or lunch place he orders whatever he wants and I just get coffee.
When the times comes for bill he gets one bill and makes me transfer him half the account. It really pissed me off when he ordered almost 30$ worth of food and I just got coffee and had to send him 17$.
I called him out on this today and he called me petty for keeping tabs on small things despite of making 6 figure salary.

- That’s not how bill splitting should work and he has to know he is taking advantage.
- You pay for what you order. From now on tell the server you’ll be needing two checks, then there is no argument. Just because you have enough money doesn’t mean you need to spend it on him, and he’s not being a good friend by assuming you’d be okay with this.
- You should’ve stopped him the first time. Why did you pay?
- Do this: as soon as a wait person shows up to take your order, ask “Is is possible for us to get separate checks?” (for 2 people, I’ve never had anyone say “No.”)
- Next time don’t get the coffee when he’s with you; pick it up elsewhere. He doesn’t sound very nice. No wonder he needs a fancy breakfast every day—when it’s half price, it tastes better!
- YOU are making a 6 figure salary. That doesn’t mean HE gets to have a cut of it.
If you wanna get back at him, next time order something insanely expensive and then split the bill and tell him he’s just being petty for keeping tabs on small things.
