Pay your Bill...

This blog will be brief, cause I'm tired of talking about it cause I don't get it. Why is it that when you go out with a bunch of Black folk, the bill ALWAYS ends up being short. WHY?

I went to McCormick & Schmick for a birthday party. And a part of me was frightened at the fact that there were 15 people in the party. Which means that there are 15 prime opportunities for personal deductions off of the bill.

So just as suspected, the $700 bill was about $100 short. Damn you people. Damn YOU!!! Why do that? Just pay your part. Why are you ordering bottles of wine and soup and entrees and tryna pay $40. Da Fukk!! then people slipped some cash and left before the bill was settled. Why are you doing that!?? Why? They probably didn't pay their full amount either.

It took us about 45 minutes to settle the bill. 45 minutes too long. I was exhausted afterwards. My "cousin" had to pay an extra $70, to cover for it, because she had arranged the dinner and didn't want the guest of honor to be upset.

On another note. She gave out party favors at HER party. I thought that was SOOOO cute. She gave everyone a gift card to Starbucks. And just to think that she had asses at her party that didn't pay for all their food. And of course I felt like poor Black trash when I was greeted with a party favor and gave her an empty ass card. Luckily, my "cousin" saved us and gave us a gift card to put in the card.

Sheesh...

But I can admit that is the last time that I will attend a celebration with just an empty card. I was used to giving to trifling people, that I just cut it off for everyone. But now I know that if you aren't comfortable giving someone something that you shouldn't even go anywhere with them to celebrate.

And I after the "we don't have enough money for the bill" thing happening for the zillionth time, I don't even want to go to a dinner party, unless the checks are split, cause damn!!

Lawd!!!

I'm with Miz JJ. People know they need to include tax and tip, that's why it's short. Be rounding up (or down) the amount of their food and that's it. I always ask for a separate bill, own care who looks at me crazy. And own care what the occasion. Black people so trifflin.
