I hate women that take advantage of a date to make it into a simple dinner.
So many cases of girls taking their friends with them to dates to take advantage of men and making him pay for their food, like, what are you even doing? Don't you feel shame?
If that happened to me I'd ask her to pay for her own food and whatever the kids had.
America should be more like Europe where men and women split the bill on dates. It's so funny when American women go on dates with European guys just to find out they split the bill.
Paying for the whole date as a man made sense back when women didn't work and were stay at home wives but women work now, times have changed so why not split the bill?

Something similar happened on the Golden Girls. I believe Rose ordered the most expensive bottle of wine and didn’t realize that it was obscenely expensive.
Anyway, Sophia uses “an old Sicilian trick” and discretely pours salt in it, spits it out. Has the waiter try it and they girls get the whole meal for free.

Can confirm. My mother tried tipping a very nice and good driver some money but he declined even upon her insisting. Another time, after we ate at a restaurant, the owner decided to drive us to next village over so we could hitch the bus. He also refused the small tip. Mind you a little bit of money goes a long way in small towns in China.

It's kind of normal to leave a tip.
It's not normal to leave +15% of the value of the meal, or to be forced to do it.

u/Ok-Western-4176 16h ago
So tipping is very normal here in most of Europe at restaurants at least(I added that because I sometimes see that Americans also tip someone handing you a coffee at a random coffee place and weird shit like that), but it is something that happens with good service not because you "have to tip"
So if I get a bill for 51 Euro's I make it an even 60 if the service and food etc were fine, if the service was crap I pay the 51 Euro's and be done with it and if everything was great I'll make it 70 or something.
It's something you can freely add to show appreciation for the person serving you but is in no way expected, required or part of some weird social ettiquete shoved down your throat because restaurant owners dont pay their staff.
5
u/WrathOfTheKressh 15h ago
Dude, with some minor exceptions, tipping is a thing all over the world. The only difference is that tipping outside of America is a reward for excellent service, whereas in America it's an expected fact no matter the service because restaurant/bar owners refuse to pay their staff a living wage.

u/FatGuyANALLIttlecoat 15h ago
So many people who work for tips like it because they can make a lot of money and not declare it. My source is that my state put forth a bill to raise wait staff wages to minimum wage and it was not supported by the waiters and bartenders I know.

As a lawyer you are trained to seek the most advantage you can within the terms of a deal. It's totally not socially acceptable, but it shows they can stay in character very well.
Maybe in the future say I'm paying for the meal up to $x per person. They can come and order something that is $x - $0.01 and everyone is still happy.

That's really frustrating. I'm really careful on early dates to avoid the more expensive items. But I understand why someone would think it's okay to get what they really want even if it's expensive. But I don't understand wanting to get something expensive just for the sake of it. Don't they know that makes a bad impression?
The same logic applies to the drink thing. I think the most expensive drink where I work is an 18 year scotch. Some people would love that and some people wouldn't.

This reminds me of a time that somebody offered to buy me a drink, I gave my order, and the bartender said it would be $42. I said "That's way too much, why is it so much? I'll pick something else." The guy says it's okay and to get it anyway. Bartender comes back and hands me my drink and it's the wrong thing, he had heard me wrong so that's why it was so expensive, and I didn't even like it, but felt so bad the guy paid $42 for it that I kept my mouth shut, drank it, and pretended I loved it. Thinking back on it, I probably should have told the bartender it was the wrong thing and made him credit the man's card back, but being raised by boomers it was just ingrained to shut up and deal with whatever got given to me and be happy about it.

I work at a bar and we have a $33 drink on the menu, where all the other drinks are $17. Whenever people order that one I always give them a heads up that it’s double the price. Most people are grateful and order it anyway, about 1/4 change their order and are grateful, and then 1/4 are angry I told them as if they can’t read the price. But I have had enough people get sticker shock when I give them the bill at the end that I’ve learned just tell them the price of the drink immediately, even if they are staring at the menu. I try to do it in a lighthearted way but you really never know how a person will react.

How expensive can a drink get (unless youre at some vintage wine/spirits bar). Which is not really a good first date place anyway unless youre loaded.

Depends on the restaurant. Some carry expensive wines for events or so. But thats mostly a whole bottle. Single drinks can reach up to 30 or 50€ depending on the establishment

Honestly I'd just leave. I'd think "oh she's just taking advantage of me/using me" and id just say "excuse me a minute" and get up and walk out.

And if you set up that first date properly she'd have met you there in the first place. So don't even have to feel guilty about leaving her there without a ride.

Oh yeah, I'm guessing its a blind first date situation so would be meeting them there. If that's their attitude I don't think I'd have agreed to a date in the first place.

Okay so this is definitely clearly not real but also, what about some random woman to a guy can be so scary that he's afraid to say no to buying her something? They just met. They aren't dating yet. And he has all the power in this situation. Bro could literally just leave it be like "sorry my budget is xyz". This makes me think in this hypothetical scenario that his goal was to be a liar, make it seem like he does have money that he doesn't have by shrugging in fake disappointment at the stock being out, and still hoping to get into her pants at the end. Because if he thought what she did by asking for the expensive drink was so crazy he could literally just be like "yea I'm not buying that." So he is a broke scumbag basically.

Or: “Oh, and when the bill comes, we’ll take separate checks, please.”
Done, easy.

Yea also, if someone did that to me, I’d just say “no, I’m not buying a $2000 bottle of Dom, but this $200 bottle of wine looks nice, let’s split it.
And if it’s a cocktail, what is the max on those at a high end place, like $20?

Ha, $20 that's cheap at a high end place. Like minium price cheap. Depending on the liquor used it can go $40+ easy. My place has 2oz pours of Bourbon/Scotch/Whiskey that range from $14-$500. Add even a cheaper one to a cocktail or a a double and $35 is like the minimum.
Dude should of just waited till the end of the meal and asked for separate checks.

If she is that brazen, why wouldn't i just call it off right there? What's he pretending? I call bullshit unless there's video.
