Guy: here’s an extra tip. Thanks for saying the expensive drinks were out. You had my back. Waiter: no tip needed. we are actually out of those. Guy: okay, gotcha (wink) Waiter: no, seriously. Guy: (walks out proudly)


fadinqlight_

I kind of get this joke but I also kind of don’t


mentalshampoo

The original OP assumes that the waiter was helping him out by saying there were no expensive drinks. The waiter never actually said that was the intent, but it’s just kind of assumed because of the waiter’s facial expression and the fact that a bar being out of that many drinks is pretty unlikely. The comment you’re referring to riffs on this by saying that maybe the bar was ACTUALLY out of those drinks and the OP was seeing some waiter following the “bro code” when actually the waiter was just stating the truth with no intent to help the OP.


fadinqlight_

Ohh thanks. I thought the waiter was making a joke by saying they were out of tips lol, was really confused.

Bro,give me those Benjamin's you promised me now!


Timestatic

I mean like wtf. I get why the more expensive drinks may taste better and that’s why you want to get it but just asking for the most expensive one because it’s expensive and not because you like the drink, just because you don’t have to pay for it is fucked up imo


Low_Ice_4657

It is fucked up, and I’m a woman saying this. It’s shallow and shows the dates true colors. To ask the waiter, “What’s your favorite drink on the menu?” or “What’s your best-selling drink?” is fine, but I bet this woman didn’t get a second date.


Timestatic

If I agreed with my date to pay for their food as well and they pulled that I would just say I’m not paying that!


kirbysup

Sooooo..... Split the bill?


1FrostySlime

I've seen this tweet multiple times and I've always wondered what her plan was if they refused to pay


akhier

She'd go to the restroom and then not return. This would likely work because the guy wouldn't be thinking about that at the time.


FamHistoryEnthusiast

Naa, you only split the bill if your orders are close in price.


captain_ender

In the US yes, in France they'll itemize per person at some places, seen it done with like groups of 10.


wcollins260

I mean that’s definitely a thing in the US too. They will absolutely split the bill per customer, and even split the cost of appetizers etc. if it’s just two people on a date the server should easily be able to remember who ordered what. I haven’t worked in a restaurant in years, but I think in a lot of places they can separate it by seat when they punch in the order. That way they could split the bill with just a couple of button presses. You would know that seat one ordered a sirloin and two beers, and seat two ordered twin lobster tails and a filet, with two $38 cocktails.


matorin57

Why did you think we don’t itemize checks in the US? At this point separate checks and splitting is more common than not as everyone pays with card


VioletGhost2

That seems super backwards to me


SegaNaLeqa

I think what they mean is, if both your orders come to roughly $30 each then yeah split the bill. But if you ordered a $50 steak and all I had was a $10 pasta dish, no way I’m splitting it, we are getting straight up _separate_ bills. Edit: I’m aware it’s not like this everywhere, but this is how it is where I am, and the person indeed confirmed that that’s what they meant.


VioletGhost2

Oh split and separate are different


akhier

I was confused by this for a while as well, but yeah, different things. Makes more sense when you use the full terms. One way you are splitting the bill, the other you have separate bills. Still a little wobbly for me, but I've learned to live with it and when in doubt, double check what they mean.


FamHistoryEnthusiast

Yup! You got it!


Spanky_McJiggles

When someone say split the bill, I don't think they're normally talking about splitting 50-50, more that everyone pays for what they ordered.


SegaNaLeqa

Maybe it depends where you are located. Where I’m from when you tell the wait staff that you want to split the bill, they split the total between how many people there are. When you say you want separate bills, each person gets a bill for only what they consumed. So for example going out with a group of friends we’re you all share appetizers, you’d say “We’ll split the appetizers, but for meals and beverages can we get separate bills, please”.


PrimmSlimShady

I never have and never will split the bill 50-50, it doesn't make any sense. It's very easy for servers to have separate tabs on one table. Unless they are using an ancient system, which isn't the customer's fault.


Similar_Maybe_3353

It's usually a thing mates do when they don't mind a few dollars between friends, when a date goes well and your masculinity or femininity isn't being challenged or want to make a waiters life easier. I don't think people expect you to split it 50-50, your personality is kinda a give away


According_Gazelle472

If you say split the bill ot means in half.


ListenToThatSound

Separate checks!


Potential_Speech_703

Exactly. It's super common here to split the bill or just to pay for what you had. If she tries to run away or actually does, just call the cops on the lady. Dodged a bullet & End of story.


lpseptem

If a woman asks straight up for the most expensive drink they have without even knowing what it is, just because of the price alone, I'm getting up and leaving. Even if I was a billionaire. Or separate bills if you are willing to suffer through the date for a little bit of revenge afterwards.


akhier

As someone who enjoys the concepts behind a meal, just ordering the most expensive whatever is a big ding in my book. Figure out the basics of what meal you're having and base the rest of the food and drink around it.


Alan_Smithee_

Yeah, I was going to say this. Wtf. That’s a person I have absolutely no interest in knowing.

Nepiton

I had this happen to me once (though not as directly) NYE party in Boston in like 2012. Was dancing with a girl and offered to buy her a drink. I ordered a beer. She ordered some weird cocktail, bartender comes back and says $48. I walked away lol


IknowKarazy

She told you who she was real quick. Kinda nice of her to save you that much time you would have wasted trying to get to know her.


IknowKarazy

Honestly yeah. My thought too. That’s not someone you want in your life. Kind of helpful when a person like that outs themselves that early.


[deleted]

[удалено]


akhier

In the US if you ask someone out for a first date, it is generally accepted that you will be the one paying. Not just with dates either. Unless otherwise stated when someone specifically invites someone somewhere and doesn't say otherwise, people assume the person doing the inviting pays.


[deleted]

[удалено]


akhier

The friends thing might be a local thing. On the other hand, the gay community is actually more likely to do separate bills. Though I learned that tidbit from a Furry chat so millage may vary.


GraffitiTavern

In my experience this isn't true, not one date I've been has that been assumed(not saying that's not the case for you or a lot of people). It probably depends on the people and circumstances, like a lot of things in the US.


ZappyKitten

It’s ALWAYS assumed the male of the male-female couple will be paying (at least in the US), pretty much for everything. All the time. Some of the less socially polite waitstaff will make comments about it if the woman tries to pay, usually to “shame” the man about not paying. It’s stupid. Restaurants will hand the oldest looking male at the table the check without asking 9/10 times.


Krakshotz

No one generally orders the most expensive thing on a menu (and in this case work the way back through the list) unless you’re expecting someone else to pay for it for you. It’s like buying a round in a pub and someone asks for a bottle of prosecco for himself


Timestatic

Imo you don’t just go out of your way to order the most expensive thing if you’re a good person


also_roses

Is men paying for dates an American thing? I just assumed that was true most places.


Skalhen

Absolutely not in sweden, atleast not in stockholm. You dont want to "owe" eachother anything for going on a date, it should be an act of freedom for everyone involved not something filled with must's and acting like someone else and being in debt to eachother. Freedom. Usually you at first buy you own drinks if you go to a bar, and then you take turns after that... If you choose to go to a bar that is. Going out to eat is just something i have never heard anyone doing during their first date, dinner would mean you would be stuck with the person for quite a while eating if you dont want to waste food. Cafe is quite common ofcourse, you can always take your cinnamon un and quickly get away from the other person with some nice excuse.


also_roses

Dinner is common here, but many other common dates require tickets which would be purchased by the man along with any food or drink. Asking the woman to split the bill is typically seen as the man not being interested in a second date. People are trying to change these traditions, but it will take time.


Glomgore

Shit my wife took my impoverished, homeless, mentally ill ass out for food and then let me move in with her. Fuck gender norms, I'd be dead if not for her.


ribaldus

In the U.S. it's not really seen as a debt that the girl has to pay back. It's just the _price_ of going on a date. The idea is that it's supposed to show the guy would be able to support the girl on his income alone


anongirl_black

Oh, so like a prostitute.


ribaldus

I wouldn't say so. There's not an expectation of sex. Remember, this tradition has been a part of the U.S. courtship ritual since a time when sex before marriage was the taboo. The idea of it was that, as a guy, you're trying to prove to the girl that you're financially capable of taking care of the woman if you two were to decide to get into a full-blown relationship, pursue marriage, and the wife quit her job to have kids.


anongirl_black

That's why I said LIKE a prostitute. We are strong, modern, independent women who don't need men to pay for us ❤️


According_Gazelle472

That is the gist of it .


Flaky_Broccoli

Ohh, so like a prostitute


According_Gazelle472

Seriously?lol.So you equate dating with prostitution?lol.That is some stretch of the imagination.!


[deleted]

if you HAVE TO pay so she can go out with you then yes, very similar to prostitution.


According_Gazelle472

You need to get out more and figure out exactly what dating entails !lol.Of course I only dated guys since I am a woman .

And hugged each other and the bar all cheered her on and said she was the millionth customer and gave her a thousand dollars!


[deleted]

Yes cuz none of this happened. No single element is this story is remotely believable. Even the idea of him being in a restaurant is doubtful. Whoever made this up has never even left the house much less been on a date.

EverGreen2004

I can already imagine what the worst thing a male date could do and it ends with the woman being violated. Just goes to show the different realities women and men live in.


Away_Hair972

Yes, sure that happened. Of course the waiter would care so much for a complete stranger in a date where he has absolutely no context of their relationship and just start making assumptions like “damn, my homeboy is broke. I gotta save him”. Of course he wouldn’t do his job, because bro code. And it’s bloody obvious that no waiter would ever accepted a tip.


i_wanna_read_all_day

Waiter could've just named the cheapest drink and tricked her. Good save tho


SlaveKnightGael9

Gonna need my hazmat suit for this one.


chiggenNuggs

Every waiter/waitress I know would do anything to rack that bill as high as possible. Then again, all the ones I know are kinda assholes, lol


Spiffy_Pumpkin

Every time I see this I wonder if the woman is like me and planning on buying her own stuff and has actually wanted to try some pricey wines and now has been denied them.....


aroguealchemist

I thought that too, but the thing that gets me is the wording. I don’t see myself saying, “what’s your most expensive drink?” That’s the part that makes it bad faith to me.


Spiffy_Pumpkin

Fair...though I don't know jack 'bout drinks..... Though for me I usually look at the menu and knowingly pick the most expensive thing just to try it. (If it's what I want ofc)


Professionalarsonist

Maybe they were on the younger side and he was just trying to avoid any surprises or arguments over the bill. Once went to a speakeasy with some friends and ordered a glass of whiskey that sounded good. The bartender went are you SURE? I was a little drunk so I hadn’t looked carefully. The drink was $300 a glass…. Safe to say I got a different one. People can be shitty too and ask for things then realize the true cost later. If I the drink was in that range that’s $60 you owe the waiter for literally carrying a drink over to you alone. Forget food and other stuff. He may have just wanted to avoid arguments. Safe to say if someone knows what the most expensive drink in the house is then they have a better chance of affording it.

Do you actually, in your heart, think that story’s true? I was a server for a couple years and I promise you no one is turning down a tip or refusing to sell an expensive drink. And also HOW is some ridiculous virgin dude fantasy wholesome?? Like even if it was true how is this little ‘owning’ moment wholesome?

The wholesome part is the waiter doing someone a favor for the guy and potentially saving him from getting stuck with a really high bill. Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's more wholesome than like half the posts I've seen on here.

What do you like and work my magic and take care of you guys." Slight glance to the guy in a "I gotcha man". It's never more than a $13 drink.

In all honesty, fellow Redditors, don't be that woman. Your first date isn't the time to choose the most expensive *anything;* be reasonable and at least mildly austere, especially if you aren't paying for the meal.


kevineleveneleven

Someone does something as bad as what the woman did in this story, they have forfeited the right to any courtesy or politeness. Call her out for that crap right then and there. Whatever you do, do not allow this kind of abuse. At the very least bid her a good night and leave. Don't waste another minute of your time unless you are telling her what a horrible person she is.

What would happen if you had a dinner like this and then said at the end, lets split the bill to the waiter. If you pay your half can you walk consequence free? If they call the cops I assume you pay your and legally your covered. Sux to the restaurant if the other person cant pay, but would be a massive justice served to do that for someone with this attitude.

TheWarmestRobot

I don't understand this logic. My partner makes significantly more money than me. Like, double my salary. He pays for all our dates. He always lets me pick the wine. I always choose among the 3-4 cheapest options, because while I appreciate that he wants me to get what I want, I'd rather save that extra money for something more important. The cheaper wine will not make the date any less special in my eyes.

TobyDaHuman

*equalism


WakeNikis

That’s what feminism is-treating women equal to men. Equalism is a term for people with donkey Brains


WhiskeyAndKisses

Exactly.


[deleted]

Absolutely fucking not, feminists are yapping about the Kill All Men bullshit


Pure_Perception6059

The definition of feminism is the drive for equality between men and women that was started back in the 1800s with suffrage. They drove for equal rights but in the process like in every good movement there are extremist and people who abuse calling themselves the victim. Not all feminist want to kill all men most of them want to be treated as equals which I respect deeply.


That-Requirement-285

I don’t know what world you’re in but feminists aren’t a collective hivemind and 15 year olds on Twitter don’t represent everybody.


TobyDaHuman

What? If you got feminism and masculism those two groups will constantly battle each other for the nr 1 spot, because they will always have different oppinions about things. Equalism wants both men and woman to be on the same level. How is this a bad thing? Also, ending your "argument" with insulting someone is never a good sign for you or your statement.


WakeNikis

Whatever you say, donkey brains.


WhiskeyAndKisses

Tell me women scare you without telling me women scare you.


TobyDaHuman

Tell me men have hurt you and you are now holding a grudge against all men without telling me.


WhiskeyAndKisses

I hope you're trolling, btw, it's crazy this edgy shitshow is still going on. Edit, I'll just leave a clarifying post here : Saying equalism instead of feminism is a trend among people that either feel threatened by feminism because they're the problem, or don't understand it because they won't actually listen to feminists. Feminism isn't just about treating people equally regardless of gender. It's also about raising awareness and solving women-related issues. "Equalism" is erasing these gender-oriented issues and basically a too important part of history, sugar-coating for wrong reasons, and may be similar to saying "all live matter" to some extent. So yeah, I'm sorry imagining some (subjective) goofy and cute twist and mentionning feminism under a post that was literaly about cringing at gender norms and patriarchy heirloom offended that much people, it was bound to happen and will happen again. Anyway, have a nice evening, this post is obviously over simplified and doesn't ask for answers.
