I went to a restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday. The check came. I added in the tip and divided it by the number of people there. I told them it was $30 each since we were paying for my sister's birthday dinner. Everyone was surprised the bill was so little. A few days later, same restaurant, different people, I get the check, add the tip divide by the number of people. I told them it was $25 each. Everyone looked shocked as if I had said it was $125. The quibbling began. (Thanks for the word, James.) Now for me a $25 or $30 check is not a big deal, but I guess everyone's situation is different. This is a restaurant in Manhattan so I wasn't too surprised. People started with, "I didn't drink alcohol so I am only paying $20." An alcoholic drink is $7 and a soda, Coke, pop whatever you call it is $5. What is the big freaking deal?! It was very tacky!
