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’”.

The 4,600 was in Austrailan dollars. This story was reported in Australia.
It’s sad all around what they are doing to trump legally. But especially in Georgia.
“They got one free mooch off you.”
Lol.
It is a fair trade—I found out who the jerks are—a forever lesson.
That means I get to never trust them again for anything—ever.
If the mooch was bad enough I can even make sure that every important person in town hears about it as well.
If I choose to play hardball they will pay—over and over and over and over again....
Reputation is priceless—particularly in small towns.
Yeah, I think my early estimate of $50.00 was probably high. If they do tip anything it isn’t based on a percentage. I guess when you have the mindset you are owed to begin with its easy to not tip at all. They are also loud when in a tableful.
My son works as a bartender and makes $11 an hour plus tips. In the evening he makes good money on the tips. The other day he had to work the lunch shift and early dinner as a server. The new cook was really slow. My son had $400 worth of orders (as well as making them their drinks) and got $2 in tips.
I meant thats their strategy, they know they will only get one. They just keep going to new, different couples. Tuats why they dont care, they knew you’d never eat with them again.
