Date: April 12th, 2012 7:17 PM Author: cheese-eating alpha pit Here is what happened:
5 people, bill came out to be $78.
I had zero cash, so I was going to put my card down and take the cash.
But one of the other people had a 100 bill that he put down and he took the cash that was there.
So at this point, I put down my card and took the 100 bill, and when it came back, I wrote down 120 after tips, because I thought I needed to pay for my food (since I just took 100 from the pool).
So this ended up being a 50% tip for the restaurant. And now I'm thinking the guy who put down the 100 prob expects me to pay him back a 20 at some point. |

Date: April 12th, 2012 7:27 PM Author: cheese-eating alpha pit Whatever. Worse case here: I paid 40 bucks for a 20 dollar lunch.
It was an Asian owned restaurant, so I don't care. |
|
Date: April 12th, 2012 7:24 PM Author: cheese-eating alpha pit Because basically everyone else had cash, and it's easier and faster in that case for the last person to put down a card and take the cash. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1922454&forum_id=2Reputation#20449077) |

Was it my fault |
|
Date: April 12th, 2012 7:32 PM Author: big tattoo no reason for excessive tip.
you just had to owe the guy. |
|
Date: April 12th, 2012 7:38 PM Author: cheese-eating alpha pit The confusion was this:
after I took the 100 and put down my card, I said something like, "so do i owe guys name 20 now?" and they were like no just put down your card.
And I was still confused about that when I tipped, and I didn't want to end up only putting 100 on my card because that's like I didn't pay anything. |

Date: June 10th, 2024 3:45 AM Author: sepia trump supporter dilemma The guy who put in the $100 and took out "the cash" from the other three people which was presumably $60 (three people throwing in $20 each) is in for $40, assuming you don't pay him anything in the future (well, the future 12 years ago). You then threw in $20 on top, making it so that you're in for $20 assuming no transfers to $100 bill guy. If he asks you for $20 then you've paid $40 and he's paid $20. This presumably being the case then in retrospect you should have paid $100 on your card and told him you'll get him the $20 later.

Date: June 10th, 2024 5:15 AM Author: aphrodisiac pale home fat ankles This is wrong and overcomplicating things
Mr. High-roller had already baked in a 25% tip when he threw the $100 down. OP then unnecessarily added another 20% tip on top of that. Thus, OP should be out the cost of his own meal, the pro-rata cost of the 25% tip, and 100% of the cost of the 20% tip he added of his own volition. |
|
Date: June 10th, 2024 6:01 AM Author: sepia trump supporter dilemma What I said is both correct and as elegantly simple as possible given the available information and uncertainty of maybe being asked to transfer $20 to $100 bill guy and maybe not. OP didn't add another 20% tip, he added $20 which is his $15.60 meal plus $4.40 tip. He did this because otherwise he'd be paying net zero at that moment. However, OP overlooked the possibility of being asked for $20 from $100 bill guy at a later time. To not have had this misunderstanding, either $100 bill guy needed to have clarified that he expected a further $20 cash from OP or OP needed to have clarified that nothing further would be expected to be paid to $100 bill guy. The onus for clarification is likely more on OP, though, since by adding $20 for his meal he implicitly presumed he owed nothing to $100 bill guy, but later realized that he may indeed owe him $20, so the confusion was primarily localized within him and his resulting actions.
To resolve the situation, OP could either accept that he had acted presumptuously by assuming he owed nothing to $100 bill guy and graciously absorb the "idiot tax" by giving a full $20 to him, or OP could potentially explain to $100 bill guy that he had added $20 on top for the meal in good faith, assuming that $100 bill guy was "square" at that moment and was owed nothing, but since $100 bill guy doesn't feel square that they should split the extra $20 that was paid, $10 each. |
