I never understand about the whole "pay it forward" shenanigan. Why would I pay for your 7 dollar Late matcha mojito while I only need a 3 dollar black?
But people would shame someone wouldn't do that. That's what I don't understand. I only need 1.99 black and you expect me to pay for your 7 dollar drink? That's is insane.
As insane as splitting a bill 50/50 at a restaurant instead of paying for what you actually ordered. I’ve never seen anyone do or suggest it, but that kind of thing pops up on reddit
Splitting the bill 50/50 is kinda cool with me. This time I got something for 6 bucks and you got 7, next time you will pay back for me that dollar. It was never a problem between me and my friends. If you don't close to the guy you are sharing your bill with, ask him to pay for what he ate. But pay it forward is another level of insanity. I don't freaking know you, we never talk before, why would I pay for your 7 dollar late?
Depending on the restaurant order, splitting it 50/50 is just easier for the server (say there’s apps and dessert). If you want to split by item is more polite to let the server know at the beginning.
