Since they be charging, leave a bad review on Yelp

Most people don’t carry cash so this is just cringe if true and most likely not true.

I mean, if you have to pay for the food, are you allowed to send it back to the kitchen if it is not to your liking?
Are you allowed to complain to Yelp?
Next year, can you ask for a menu and what the price is before you commit to attending?

I would have asked him for gas money.

I would never ask for it. That being said, if he did ask, I would just pay it and thank him on the way out. I would think he needed it more than I did.
I would probably also wait until his birthday, then send him $5 in a card.

so i had to give him $60 to help him catch his ice chest full and all i got was 25-30 lbs of shrimp that i could have bought on side of road for $60
frick that. $60 for boat and truck but free labor? Should have told him at your rate he could’ve deducted your half for the boat and truck, and paid for the shrimp and he would still have owed you.

each family for $30 to cover the food!
That’s crazy - we have a large family so we always cook but we never ask anyone to chip in
However, it’s happened to me twice. Once for a crawfish boil - which kinda pissed me off bc this guy has one every year and then like after a few years he asked for $10 per person - including the kids! (Which at that time we only had 3) but they barely ate any - and he had never asked before and he asked on our way out (then his wife let him so who knows)
The second was for a surprise bachelorette party - some friends from work wanted to throw one pot luck style so I cooked and brought stuff (including booze) then the hostess asked for $20 on the way out - I didn’t have it - so i mailed it a week later
I don’t mind but it would be nice to know ahead of time, and you never have to pay when you eat at my house

quote:At least do it like my buddy in Tulsa and when you do the invite tell them to bring what they want so it can be prepared when they arrive. He did it every week for parties he'd throw. Call all his friends and tell them bring what they wanted to eat (and maybe drink too but usually plenty booze and mixers for all anyway). We'd have fish and chicken on one grill, beef and pork another, the stove top burners going on sides and the oven for breads and desserts.
You invite people over then you foot the bill
I think one time I heard him telling one friend to get with another as they were wanting to bring a big slab of meat already so the 2 could split it with their dates. (yeah these parties would start like 8pm and go to dawn at times)

frick that.
If someone says "we are going to host Thanksgiving this year" I am sure people ask what can they bring. If they say nothing (but you should still bring something. Wine, dessert, etc), that means its on them.
You don't wait until everyone is about to leave and ask for $30. I would have been like "I don't have it on my right now, but I will get you" and just never pay him just because of the way he handled it.

Cheap and Trashy, wife’s brother and his wife probably hosted your party.
Wife’s brother pulled out a $100 when it was time to pay for ducks to be cleaned, my buddy made change for him. His wife made sure my kid got the best dolla general toys for Christmas. Bitch also asks for booze when they come ovah when hers runs out.

You should have dropped a couple hundred in his hand and told him he better not ask anyone else for a penny, that you just covered them all.
Posted on 12/9/20 at 8:16 pm to Skippy1013
It's not so much that he's a cheap skate. It's that he has no shame. I'd be embarrassed to ask family for money for an event that I arranged.
If someone offers money, politely decline. If they insist - graciously accept.

Probably the same kind of person who pulls out the phone calculator and wants to separate the check and tip when you go out to eat.

What... the... frick. That’s bananas.

Was it not worth $30 for you and your family to pig out, sounds like a good deal to me.
Yes better if they had asked for it at the door , like a cover charge prior to entering.
Maybe they can fix it for next year.
Will probably have to ask for more when he realizes that they took a loss at $30 per family.
