THIS!!! We always just round it up and chuck in the same. Even if I go out and I don’t drink or get a starter we always split it even cos there will be a time that I do drink and others don’t.I just think it's bad form to sit their and work out that you ate and drank £8.36, don't come for the meal. I'd rather just pay for the whole fucking lot than have people counting up and arguing. And then avoid going for meals with them.
I get if people are skint but there is no excuse for being tight
I don't think it's that complicated, people round up the cost of a couple of dishes and drinks add a tip and say charge £x to this card.I just think it's bad form to sit their and work out that you ate and drank £8.36, don't come for the meal.

Not eating out but something that grinds my gears big time is when your out in a group and buying rounds and someone is drinking half pint lagers until it’s your round then they are suddenly on doubles and mixers....The dividing of the bill is one of the major things that puts me off going out with friends tbh. I'm happy to split the bill even if not really drinking. We have been out in some small groups and people literally order stuff (like double G&T) and then don't drink it. Or loads of sides and don't eat them. They know we typically split the bill so don't give a shit. These situations tend to apply when out for a friends birthday, for example, when you are not the one inviting the other guests. And I have friends who send the poor waiting staff back and forth for any little thing but don't tip. So I over tip more to compensate for that. Often come home feeling ripped off and now try to avoid these situations. I sound like a misery guts but this has happened so many times over the years.
Yep. On the meal I went out to, I couldn’t really afford it, which is why I got myself a kids meal, but I didn’t want my kids to miss out on seeing family. So we went and I took the kids their own beakers with juice, I had water and I paid only about £10 for two kids meals (one for me to share with my 11 month old and one for my 3 year old).Sometimes it not people being “tight” it’s that they don’t have much money, you know, like the way some people have more money then others?? If someone is going out for a meal and only having one course and one drink maybe they are just fucking skint and only want to pay for what they’ve had themselves, that’s not being tight.
This is why I don’t go out with people who do that. Because once is enough. Cannot abide people who are tight and don’t tip. You know you are going for a meal so you can put aside a few pennies for the waiter.I don't think it's that complicated, people round up the cost of a couple of dishes and drinks add a tip and say charge £x to this card.
If you're going out for dinner with people you argue with I'd not want to meet them anyway! We all have lean times, and knowing someone can meet up and not spend much means they can come out and I'd rather that.
It's not that easy if you are a group of a few couples who have all had different things. I don't keep a running tally of what me and my husband have ate and drank all evening. I find people often pass me the bill to ask what they owe. Once the calculator on the phone has to come out that's normally a big cringe from meI just pay for what I’ve orderedIt’s so easy just to ask the staff to pay x amount on card! I won’t usually tip because I don’t carry cash.
Because they’re your friends and sharing a bill is part of sharing a nice evening and meal together?No chance do I split the bill. I pay for what I ordered, simple. I don’t go down to the penny though but why should I pay more to make theirs cheaper? Not happening
