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’”.

“lets not go out to dinner with them”
Correct answer—I think most of us know people like that.
They get one free mooch per lifetime.
Then it is boycott time.
:-)
Both the bill and the behavior suggests booze. Lots of it.
On the positive side apparently no one got shot or stabbed.
Celebrating passing the bar exam; or getting into med school?
ALWAYS THEM........>
The entitleent is spilling into every asepct of their lives.
Shes black and female. Two major entitlement chips on her shoulder.
Problem is when she tries to demand it from other black females who have the same chips on their shoulders, “dat don’t work”.
We are friends with a couple that are very wealthy, and they are very generous to us. Letting us visit them (at one of their five homes) and doing the touristy stuff with them. I was willing to pay for all the meals and stuff while we visit, but he said it wasn’t necessary and we’ll just try to keep it even. He’d pay one night, me the other, but nobody trying to keep tight track of it.
He said “You’d be amazed at the people that we invite to come down to visit and they expect me to pay for EVERYTHING!”
Yes you know already blacks are the worst demographic of tipper. Black women being the absolute worst.
They dont care. They got one free mooch off you.
I agree with not splitting the bill if the tabs were not similar.
Especially the drink bill if some were not drinking.
Not in the restaurant, anyway.
JANF.

The answer is the all you can eat buffet...everyone pays before they eat and you can eat whatever and as much as you want.
Added benefit: you don’t end up looking like fools on the internet...
My first thought. So classless and tacky acting that way in any restaurant. I expect nothing less.
if you have to ask, you can’t afford the place
The article didn’t say how many of these trashy people were at the party unless I missed it.
How many of them were there?
“Nor is planning in advance who should pay for what...”
No kidding. My entire life, whenever we took somebody out for his or her birthday, everybody KNEW that the guest didn’t pay. It’s one of life’s basic rules.
The other rule is you don’t order the Filet Mignon when everybody else is ordering a burger or salad. But, if you DO order the Filet, pay for it.
Is life really that hard for these folks?
The answer is obvious.
Get new friends.
And Denny’s is just fine for a birthday dinner. You won’t change my mind.
