I had never even heard of this app. Yet it seems to be for people in my generation (25). I'm really happy that this is not something that happens in my social circles.
Could be a cultural thing. Most of my social circles involve Latin American people, which is quite a mindset difference from the standard European / American mindset.
Though, even with my European friends this does not happen. I don't mind having paid more than one of my friends at the end of the evening, it'll even out eventually.
- consz 9y agoWhat if it doesn't even out eventually? I like to get 4-5 cocktails when I go out, and am usually the one getting steak instead of chicken (to use the article's analogy) -- so I almost always dine on significantly more than the average person at the table. If we just split uniformly, I'm definitely taking advantage of the other people at the table, so what options are there? Of course, I could pitch in more for that evening's bill, but once we're at the point that we're splitting it unevenly, then I don't see how that's any different than venmoing someone instead, and that's a lot easier than dealing with cash.
