I'll unbaffle. You all drink roughly the same thing (from a cost point of view). You all drink at roughly the same speed. One person gets them in each time instead of everyone getting their own. It just makes sense. Everyone counting out their own pennies just seems like a hen party in a restaurant ("I only had the soup", "I didn't have a starter", "here's my £10.73p").
Indeed BOF. Mrs E and I went out for a meal with another couple about 3 years ago. We all had wine, we all had 3 courses all was well with the world. Until the bill arrived.
The other woman takes from her handbag, a pocket calculator, and proceeds to tot up what she and her bloke had eaten/drank.
SURELY you just divide the bill by 2? Am I wrong? Is it just me?
We have never been out with them again. **** tossrags.
I'd be so emmbarresed if someone i was out with tried to split the bill that way.
Tight ****!
It was just stupid. The waitress was pissing herself laughing.
IDid you not say anything to her?
