General DISCUSSION “Lets split the bill,” Actually can we not?
Hey gays,
How are we getting around splitting the bill?
Recently, I had a hangout with a couple of friends and their friends who I had a blast with. We ended up at a restaurant and everyone was ordering up the menu, I mean every appetizer, every side, and multiple drinks. I, however, had already eaten lunch and I don’t drink so I ordered a modest entree. Sure, I nibbled on a little this or that when prompted too but frankly I was only doing it to be nice. I genuinely only wanted my burger and water.
The bill came and everyone decided to split this humongous bill amongst ourselves bringing it to $77 bucks! I couldn’t help but feel pissed as my burger was only $25.
I’m not gonna have to get on the pole to make that $67 dollars back but I’m not one of those gays that spends money frivolously.
I now find myself a bit nervous about agreeing to attend dinners and hangouts out of fear of splitting an even bigger bill. I still very much so want community outside of clubs but I did not know I would be paying a portion of rent at dinner!
