ParticipantFunny someone would bring up the tab, here’s a story I have to tell, it illustrates how fiscally responsible the piggingtom crowd is.
So I figure this site saved me about 300k, i went into the bar with the intention of picking up the tab but not revealing that fact until it was over (in my experience, that knowledge can alter peoples ordering habits and ultimately my bill). I also wanted to keep it below $300, so I told the server my intentions at the onset, told him not to reveal it and a few times throughout the evening I checked the damage. 2/3 the way through the damage was still under $200 so I never checked again. As it looked like the the majority was about to leave I checked in with the server, handed him my credit card and the bill had shrunk well below $100. Since I had never seen tabs shrink I asked questions, I had ordered a bottle of wine, hot wings, about 5 pints of guinness, everything a growing boy needs (thank goodness I had a hotel room nearby). All that remained was pretty much my tab. My Karma intentions were foiled by all these responsible people, I have never found such people in large groups. The server said people just kept giving him money and splitting off tabs. He actually apologized that everyone had paid. I still owe the karma gods, but it looks like I’ll have to find another way and I’ll drink with you people anytime.
Just had to share.
