Yeah, just make him pay for the extras. Start splitting the tabs up. That's what we do whenever we go out and, aside from the mentally r****ded fella they just hired at BW3, it works out perfectly.
Here is what you do. Say HEY GUYS . . let's rotate .. I'll be the big man and start us off right and take tonite! then let everyone else step to their turn order like normal. but When his turn comes. . EVERYONE ORDERS WHAT HE ORDERS And make it a LONG NIGHT My philosophy is .. no one understands until they feel what you are feeling keep the rotation going until the pretentious jerk gets the picture Rocket River
There shouldn't be any problem being up front with him about it. Explain that drinking premium drinks means that he's responsible for a higher percentage of the tab than everyone else everytime you go out and that he should either start picking up more of the tab, or getting his own tab - whichever is easier for him. I can't imagine he doesn't know he's buying much more expensive drinks, so he's more than likely taking advantage of you. Or the alternative is that he's an idiot and you prompting him about the problem will elicit an apology and a change in his habit.
I know Waiting is not easy task but that never seems to amaze me . . . drinking maybe harder but they have this issue at IHOP . . . and you TELL THEM what each of you had Rocket River
Typically, we (sans the douche bag that I mentioned earlier) get everything on one tab and everyone throws their card in. We tell the waiter/waitress to split it evenly amoung all of the cards and then everyone does their own tipping based on the amount on their card. Sometimes you pay a few bucks more, some times you pay a few bucks less. We usually do not sweat it because it typically balances out.
To even it out since his drinks are double and triple your price, just drink a hell of a lot more...order shots...do something to make his tab add up...just drink faster and even it out...if not...then just start seperating checks....cause if he doesn't realize it then he's just plain stupid.
Big Sherv, how about you tell everyone in your party, excluding your "friend", to bring only enough money for how much they plan to drink? or tell them to bring a few $5 and $10 bills and maybe 1 $20, pay for their share and tip. this won't allow any of you to go way over your part and tell your "friend" the rest is his responsibility b/c they're his drinks.
What a cocksman. The only think worse than this guy is when each person in the group takes turns buying rounds of drinks, and when it comes around to the last dude, he's like, "no, man, no more drinks for me" and doesn't buy the round. If you're cheap, don't go out drinking. Save your money for important things like food and condoms.
I knew a guy in hghischool who would be the last guy to pay the bill and wait to see how much extra was left and he would pay that. So if each person owed 8.35 and they all dropped 9. He would take the 65 cents times how many people were there and pay what is left.
I hate those guys who think they are cool getting the call drinks. Screw them. They need a Schiltz thrown at their head. BTW, whiskey is sweeter than any girl drink. I just wanted to point that out.
That sucks man. If he's your friend, you and your buddies should be able to tell him w/o him getting pissed. Just tell him that if wants to drink the expensive drinks, that's fine, but just tell him to start his own tab.
Like I said before, seperate checks or next time it is his turn to pick up the tab make sure everyone orders premium for the night.
your buddy needs to check his "high-end" tastes if he's throwing coke in his Glenlivet.... why waste a decent scotch (or any whisk[e]y) by throwing coke in there??? but if he insists on drinking the more "expensive" drinks, just straight up tell him he's gonna be paying for his own drinks. this wouldn't even be an issue for my friends, but we almost always split the tab anyways (at happy hour, at least).
second time this is mentioned...and it's dead on. You should refuse to pay for premium drinks if he's going to mix them with soda. Tell him it's a matter of principle. Does he put ketchup on his steaks?
