Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guys, it is summertime and we will be out and
about having brunch and dinner with friends, sometimes in large groups.
So here's the scenario. Guys, you're at dinner with five
other people. Think about this and it's is it cool?
Is it cool now to ask the server to split
the check six ways? Yes, six people? Yes, yes, yes,
(00:21):
you think it.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Any if you do it in the beginning too, you
could say separate checks before they Yeah. I think it's
a lot when you wait till the end, but in
the beginning you can think.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You know what you like about the beginning, everybody know
what they're gonna do. Now you're not. You're not gonna
order crazy? All right?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well, this this is according to NPR. Okay, servers have
enough to deal with when they're serving a large party
of six, especially when the restaurant is busy and all that.
So they suggest that you put down two credit cards,
Max and the others give cash VELL or Venmo give
their money to whoever paid the bill. That's what the
(01:10):
checks and all that. Once again for that, gen GenZ,
once again, I.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Just got to talk about this is the begin Here's
here's another.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Here's another scenario, Junior, Everyone at your table ordered alcohol
except you, And now they want to split the tab
fair and square. Do you have to cover the cost
of their expensive drinks?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
No, that's they got to split it. That's why you
have split it in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
All right, here's a proper thing to do. That's what
you all say. But here's a proper thing to do.
According to NPR, you should speak up. If you didn't
have any drinks, you should say something. It's fine to say, hey, guys,
I didn't drink, and usually that's enough pushback for everyone
in the group to recognize, to recomp figure the bill
to make it fair for you.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
We do that.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
We speak.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Ain't nobody silence.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Speak and said ahead of time and split it from
the jump. You don't have that problem.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You won't.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But haven't you heard when you say if you ever
say you want to split the bill, haven't you uh
the attitude.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I really don't care about your you know what, I
can sit actually at the table next to y'all.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I really write and pay for your own meal by yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But they're saying, nope, don't do it. Don't split the
bill to credit cards.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
The man if I'm just dropping in and I see down.
You see y'all drink everything else before the bill get there,
I'm normally gone, Well, I don't even know what cost.
Speaker 3 (02:50):

Hey, June, you're come and join us, and I'll.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Say I'll come up. But when I see y'all start
getting y'all stuff together, like y'all gonna go, I'd be
already outside. I'm gone. I'm to be a call.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I think it depends on who you're with, That's what
I was about to say. I think that's a big factor,
because if you're with a group of people that you know,
your friends, your family, people that's really really close, I
don't think you mind splitting it. I don't think you
mind picking up. It just depends on who it is,
and sometimes it depends on their their pattern of behavior.
(03:30):
Like if you could go out with a group of
people and you notice certain people.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Don't never pay people don't never or we've experienced this.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
If you're the baller of the group that the people
expect you to pay, they expect to pick it up.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So let me say that. Let me jump in and
say it. So if it's let's just say, uh, let's
just say Easter or Mother's Day. You know, you take
family out, big restaurant, big restaurant day. I don't mind
picking up the bill because I got you, got the
whole family, got mom, I got it. I do be
looking way down the table though, like he knows well.
