Am I a soft touch or are my friends tight?

[Arch]

So, there are 2 things you can do:

Pop back to the restaurant with a fiver in an envelope, and either hand it to him, or stick it through the letterbox with a note.

Show your friends this thread.

Tight!!
Your idea of the £30 quid was perfect. The others, Tight!! If its a good meal, not waiting around for ages then at least 10% or round it up to the next biggest number.
My brother is a bit tight like that, I always settle the bill and tip......its almost embarrassing

Tight. Mega tight. Miserly.

I'd always tip 10% at least for good service. 10-15% is the accepted norm. Jesus Christ, what is people's problem with throwing in a few notes and calling it quits? Some git always has to pull out the calculator.

You say they're pretty well off. Why doesn't that surprise me?

I read that wrong, and now have a vision of badkitty poking a stick through the letterbox with a fiver on the end of it

Probably how they manage to stay well off...

Baggy: That's something I'd like to see!

Have stick, have cash.

Let's face it, being seen poking money through a restaurant letterbox isn't going to make me any more embarrassed than I already am.


I think deep down I knew they were tight, and that our days were numbered. Seeing it here has helped a lot. Thanks everyone. I will put it right next week when I'm in town.


Oh and Summerdays *bitch alert* - bet it doesn't then...

Bloody hell £3 the tight arsed mares...

Some git always has to pull out the calculator.

Sometimes there is a reason ... when we have supped a little wine with our meal ... just occasionally we can't do the sums... and the notes just don't come to the same total as the bill!!!

I certainly don't tip routinely but will happily do so if the service has been exceptionally good. Rounding up to £30 sounds reasonable from what you have said and not much for a good evening out.

I'm afraid I don't tip hairdressers as what I pay works out at about £60 per hour anyway!

I always tip my hairdresser, although I do it myself "Go on, get yourself a drink, son" "Cheers, mate"

What a bunch of tight gits BK.

I've had the one where someone says that they only had one and a half glasses of wine or didn't have a starter and try to renegotiate the bill. Tossers.

Tighter than .....a gnat's chuff.

... a shark's @rse at 200 fathoms

And the equally annoying flipside - the one that decides that the bill is being split evenly.
You can always spot them - they drank a bottle of wine each, ordered oysters and they're the only ones that had a digestif.

Lol at the people saying the friendship should be broke off because of this! It's tight and bad natured, but not worth fighting over.

 

[GM]

Are they friends or just work colleges? ditch them any way. I'd book a table at the restaurant soon as possible and take some proper friends. Enjoy it with confidence.

More of a finders fee eh rich*






*cough, not that I can talk...
