[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was accused of being cheap once because I wanted separate checks at dinner. I’m not sure how splitting a check would have been better.[/quote]

I once went out with a group of women where we each ordered an entree and I ordered 2-3 appetizers. Every single person ate the appetizers. When the bill came, one women split the bill and charged only me for the appetizers. I remember having a bbq or some gathering a week later and I didn’t invite the woman who stuck me with paying for the appetizers. It was less about the money and more about the principle. Other women said they ate the appetizers and would chip in. I thought it was ridiculous. Never had that happen in my 40 years.

I have gone out to eat in groups since high school. The person who says they didn’t eat the shrimp appetizer or whatever is annoying.[/quote]

Did you ask them if they wanted appetizers, or did you just order? [/quote]

I didn’t ask if they wanted to share and split the cost if that is what you are asking.

I have gone out to eat for decades and that was the first time anyone has done that. I would only have ordered one for myself if not sharing with others. I can’t eat 3 appetizers by myself.

It was not an expensive place. I want to say everyone paid $20 and then I paid $50. [/quote]

Super weird not to say “should we get a few apps for the table?  What about the shrimp, crab dip and tartare?” Or something like that if you are ordering for the group.  I would always ask for input and not just order my favorites.[/quote]

I honestly can’t remember how we ordered. It was a few years ago.

I go out to eat often with others. I have eaten out in groups of 20+. This was a dinner with a few women who have known one another for a few years casually. Out of the hundreds of times I have eaten out in a group, this was the first and only time someone made me pay for a shared appetizer. I didn’t order some obscure thing. [/quote]
