Non splitters

How do you feel about people who don't split the bill

As a non drinker people think I shouldn't have to split but I don't care I'll split a bill equally

My sister and her husband are the worst when splitting take out.. exact Cash

Lucky covid means don't have to see them
 
As a general rule my friends would just split but if someone wants something that pushes the price up they’d almost always say, “I’m getting the steak special so make sure I pay the extra £10 at the end”.

Everybody’s happy.

This. ^^. If I've had something expensive or I've been particularly thirsty I'll put the extra in before it's split & am happy to do so.

This attitude actually killed a meal that we used to have with ex workmates. We used to go to an Chinese restaurant which ran an eat all you like fixed price menu. A couple of the wives ate very little, & consequently felt it was okay to put 3 bottles of wine (and not the cheap stuff) on the joint bill between them. It was mentioned the first time it happened, and then it happened a second time. They didn't get an opportunity for the hat-trick.
 
Most people we eat out with someone pays the bill, someone else picks it up next time. Tends to even itself out except with my Dad where its a battle to ever get to pay the bill.

If someone wants to split the bill invariably I will offer to pay more as my share often is. According to mrs fundy I pay more than I should but Im fine with that

Can I come when it's your turn to foot the bill??
 
On the actual subject, I have no issue for a couple of pounds - playing peas and carrots as someone once said.
But if someone takes the proverbial and tries to bung their massive bill on to everyone else, they can go bleep themselves.
 
I am all for an even split. Only one that niggles me slightly is when people bring their kids. Family meal, 4 couples, 2 of whom have 2 kids each who do not order from the kids menu, have the full 3 courses etc yet the bill is always split 4 ways
 
Work is the worst for it

Order in. Always me doing the call

People give me exact money even though it's old menus so out of date prices

And I'm like come on lads £1 each for the delivery guy

Considering we all on same wage there are some right arses

Other night had KFC one was like it's so muchore expensive ordered in

It's £2 each mate sod it.. I'm not driving down there..
 
Be British: Split the cost, personally order something modest, silently scream at anyone who orders something expensive and talk about them all the way home.

However, most work nights out have involved people throwing in extra if they’ve had more expensive food or drinks than others, which is the decent thing to do.
 
A group of us would meet at the pub and buy rounds of drinks. One bloke would always come to the group with his own pint, take a pint off each of the others then look at his watch and clear off just before his round, also he would always ask for the most expensive beer in the pub.

As it happened every week we all ended up not buying him a drink which was a bit embarrassing but he really was taking the Mick and was probably the best off there.
 
I can’t understand how anyone would feel ok with eating/drinking more expensively than others and expecting their pals to pick up the slack. I’m so anxious about that stuff that I keep a running £££ total with every drink and course. Maybe I’m the odd one...

I get anxious when we are drinking in rounds. If someone gets the first round in I always make sure I drink my first one fast so I can get to the bar and get a round in so I can’t be accused of hanging back.

This. There’s nothing worse than having an empty glass and waiting for a beer. If you’re in a round, you know when it’s your turn. Keep up or get out of the round.

Again in my circle of friends we all know the score 1/4 of a pint is the point to go and get the next round in. I find it to be those shandy drinking soft southerners who are shy at the bar ?

Yup sounds about right, when you have a good bunch of mates everyone knows when it’s time to get a round in...
Btw it’s the Northern folk that are bar shy, at least that’s how it seems when I’m visiting my West Cumbrian in-laws!?
