Stupidest fricking thing. Why can't people just pay for their own drinks? People always get ducked over.

I never got the "I'll get this round, you grab the next round" thing.

Then pay for your own drinks or get better friends. A few drinks here and there is going to come out in the wash with my friends.

If you're not with freeloading pieces of shite it's fine.

Me neither.


When I was a pro drinker me and a buddy went to a crowded bar. This cat walked up and ordered a few drinks and said put it on so and sos tab.... bartender makes his way to us, we ordered a couple drinks and put it on the same dudes tab. We drank for an hour or so on his tab and left.

They're probably settling up using Venmo or a similar app. It's pretty easy actually.

Drink at home without your a-hole, freeloading friends. Problem solved.

You know how hard it is on bartenders to make a separate tab for each of the 14 jet fuels I order for me and my bros?

It's easier in a packed bar for one person to order a round than for 5 different people to wait to get their order taken.

That's the only time I do it. It's more convenient/faster for the bartender.

The main lesson in large groups is to not be around when the tab is settled. Used to meet up after work, and over the course of 2-3 hours, 15-20 folks would cycle through - throwing some cash on the table when they'd leave. Check comes and you're always short.

Why? If I'm getting up and going to the bar, why would I not buy my friends drinks?

It only takes one time getting burned by this and you never do it again.

It's the same as splitting the bill at a sushi place.
Some A-hole is gonna order a bunch of random bull crap and run the bill up and you end up paying for crap you never ate.

It saves time. I hate people, mostly women, that order all their drinks on individual tabs. It occupies the bartender for entirely too long
