A viral video showing a group of friends fighting over an expensive birthday dinner bill has sparked a heated debate about splitting the cheque.
A U.S. content creator from Atlanta, Georgia, posted a clip of his friend’s birthday dinner descending into chaos after the group received a $4,600 bill at the end of the night.
The video poster named Viccgotti can be seen animatedly arguing that he should not have to split the enormous bill for his friend’s meal, instead arguing he should only pay for what he ate.
But the woman who is celebrating her birthday suggests she expects her friends to also cover her meal.
It’s my f***ing birthday, why the f*** should I have to pay for something on my birthday?’ she demands to know.
“But if we come together, we split the bill, period,” another girl yells defensively.
However, another disagreed and taking to his feet said: “You got lamb chop, you got steak, look at all they got and they talk about splitting the bill.”
“Ya’ll ordering way too much and then want to split the bill.”
(snip)
“We ended up calling the waiter over and I told him ‘don’t split nothing for me, they can split if they want to but we’re not here for that’”.

I eat once a week at a local eatery near hear and have gotten to know the waitresses.
They have repeatedly stated that negroes won’t tip however they demand, demand, demand.
The waitstaff cringes when a tableful walks in.
$7,000.00 bucks for a dinner? I bet it was exotic food imported from a far away galaxy.
Some people at that table should have learned a valuable lesson about socialism from that, but I doubt anyone did.
Ohhhh...How cringy is that? The whole restaurant is staring at your table, all wondering why the birthday girl is treated like hefty bag full of trash.
Proper response:
"Oh, we would love to split the bill 50-50, but our tax preparer insists that we always demand a separate check for only our food and drinks. Says he needs the receipts for tax purposes. And we also need the actual, exact figure so that we know how much to tithe to the Church, too! Besides, we don't have that much money on us, so probably couldn't shell out enough cash to pay for half of the total bill."
Regards,
Those become valuable mentoring sessions. I too value these to the point of insisting upon paying. Same with friendships.
I have the resources, so I share, except with those who feel entitled.
Tax season in my CPA firm were long hours and demanding. I was so grateful for the employees and their dedication that immediately after tax season was over, I hosted all employees and their spouses to a gathering in a fine restaurant.
It was my way of thanking the spouses for allowing them to be away from home all that time. I always joked that I was returning them to their families until next year.
Yes, this guy introduced me to Larry Pepper, who in addition to several practice areas did probate. He landed the Rosa Parks estate. He was working on it for years.
I don’t know if I would get into all that now - but the result would be the same. Now we make sure we understand how it will be divyed up ahead of time.
The only time we argue over the bill now is
“I got it.”
“Oh no - let us get it.”
“No, I insist.”
“Well you paid last time!”
“But that was just a little lunch, I got this.”
“Okay - but let us pay for the tip.”
“Well, okay.”
I played guess the race as soon as I read the headline.
Right again!
Easy peasy.

Tip??? Sheeeeeeeeeeeee . . .
Chump don’t want no tip, chump don’t get no tip!
“Make Atlanta disappear.”
Sherman did once.
It came back worse then it was.
Gee, thanks! I’m not a kid anymore, and I always tip 20%.
Deadbeats. The hell with them.
Jasmine Kazlauskas is racist.
That entitlement attitude is why even black men won’t marry them. Impregnate, yes, stick around, no.
“These people....🤦♀️”
Those people. I must be just a simple middle class, middle age, married male with 2 kids because I don’t understand how a group can even order thousands of dollars in food, then crab about the check. I bet those people never even intended on paying anyway. If I was a server and a large group of those people came in to eat I’d refuse to serve them. Those people NEVER tip.
That’s what I was going to post. Fine examples of thoughtfulness, restraint and rectitude such as these will decide Trump’s fate in Fulton Co.
