S’PORE GUY’S FOREIGN FRIEND ALWAYS MAKE HIM PAY THE BILL WHEN HE COME HERE MAKAN

Friends who always let you take the bill

I have a foreign friend who splits his time between SG and AU, whenever we meet up here I’ll take him to places to try new food, and because I’m the one ordering on his behalf(he’s not familiar), I also end up paying all the time.

He makes it up by getting coffee, which is cents on the dollar. It’s been this way for years and I’m totaling in the hundreds now, what would you do in this situation?

*This guy is not poor, I’m not richer than he is. He spends thousands per month on his fiancée.

He usually asks what the bill is, when I show him the receipt he’ll offer to get coffee.

Maybe that’s why he’s poor – he spends thousands per month on his fiancee lol.

anyway, next time you go out, before you order tell him you want to split the bill. if he refuses then don’t go out. if he says yes but doesn’t do it, then he’s not your friend anymore.

1. After you’ve paid just tell him his share of the bill and he can Paynow you. There’s nothing to paisey about that.
2. “Eh you get the bill first? I treat you coffee later. You always treat me coffee one I paisey.”
3. Stop taking him out to places to try new food? Unless he suggests to go out and eat – at which point you make it clear that the bill is going to be split.
4. bring him go 7-11 try nissin cup noodles next time.

6. If you can’t say you CB always I pay, then you are not friends. And if you are not friends, why even bother meeting up? Your time should be even more precious than the money, so spend it on ppl you actually enjoy going out with. You wouldn’t even think about the money then.
7. Either you stop being calculative, or you man up and start getting him to at least pay his own share. Or stop giving him the opportunity to just get coffee – have coffee at the same place you have lunch and split the total bill.
8. Stand up for yourself you weakling
