I'm with Loni. Me and my friends ask for separate checks. I'm sorry, broke graduate isn't trying to pay for your two extra drinks.
+CHEL I don't understand why I should pay even if I am not broke.
+Birdie Wolf if you invite someone out its called "class" . I never invite my friends anymore without bringing extra money and offering them something. It goes both ways.
How about bring cash and put it in the table what you actually have ... and tell your friends that your a broke uni student prior to going out? Otherwise order in or cook your own food and eat before going out socialising
@@sanyong8256 what? Or how about everybody pays for the food they ordered that makes no sense
Number one is neither cheap or clever - it's common sense. Why tf would I pay for somebody's meal unless I offered to
I agree. My friends and I always just pay for our own stuff. We calculate the cost of our own meals & drinks or we get separate bills.
+maz g Exactly
I agree. I wouldn't split a bill equally if I had one thing and someone had so many more. It seems like I am paying for someone else's food. If you want to eat/drink the whole restaurant/bar, that's your choice, but you are paying for what you had! If we had fairly similar amount of stuff and the cost is not very different, it's ok to split equally.
Agreed!
maz g I think they said it's cheap because they got a coin. Them hosts are getting paid. But me with my broke ass, I'm finding me a pen
"In the hood we ask for separate check. That's what we do". Lol! That's so true.
We do it in the suburbs too.
Sara Cronauer Thats great lol
+Sara Cronauer we sure do!
😂
Sara Morris Okay someone wanted to be in the group
separate checks all the way. i always end up spending way more because me friends are running "short" on money.
I don't mind paying for friends. But I always establish whose going to pay for what before we get there. Usually if they don't have money, they don't want to go but I offer to pay for them so it's not a problem. If you have friends that willingly go to restaurants with you knowing they can't afford it and expecting you to get the bill, you need to get some new friends.
Run short GIRL they BROKE
If I'm cheap for asking for separate checks then I guess I'm cheap.
AMEN!!! #aintnothingwrongwithdat
You’re cheap if you expect me to split the bill when I order one thing while you ordered five.
Katerin Mendoza thank you
Yes😂😂😂 these are the only people who get mad when you split the check bcuz they’re stuck paying for the food they ordered... Depending who I go out with i usually just pay for the tab with my credit card and then my girlfriends send me their part... strictly for credit card points/cash back 😁 so its a win win
What's wrong with itemised checks? Just because I don't wanna pay for your extra sides, fat starter and drinks does NOT make me cheap. #getyolife
That's true.
Okay.
+rima110 Fat starter?? What is that lol??
+1rkhachatryan A starter that could pass for a main lol.
rima110 Lol I have never heard it referred to that way.
I bring my own snacks to the movies for two reasons: expense and dairy allergy.
You look like you do haha, poor girl? I think girl
Emily Bean
There was no reason to say that. Don’t be an asshole
most movie theater popcorn does not even use real butter I’m a vegan so I know they use Hydrogenated oil’s for flavoring. You could check with your local movie theater 💖
Nah group dinner we always get separate checks. Money can ruin friendship but seriously why should i have to pay more money to spilt it with you, than if i was just getting it by myself. Sorry lmao I ain't paying for your 5 course meal when i had some salad or some chicken. Luckily everyone around me feels the same so we have no issues. Or if something is big and i wanna share it with a friend, the resturant spilits
the resturant splits it for us on our own checks.
#BLAM
I think the best if you try to calculate beforehand your total bill so u are already ready for pay time. But if the server is willing to punch in your orders separately then way better
So I'm going to put myself out there .....I always got me a big purse going to the movies I bring me chic-fil-a, boston market, etc. Movies be playing with they overprice food.
Girl you're clever!!!
Lol! We used to do that! At one point, my mom managed to bring a whole baked chicken and bread and we sat there cutting slices and eating it. That was in the ratchet days. Lmao. But now I actually order from the menu off moral guilt because I found out theaters actually run on commission from the concession stands. I can't bring myself to cheat these places that I love going to.
i didnt know that i will now take that in to consideration I dont want the movies to shut down bcuz of my sneaking. osimeon00
Kali Elaine Yes please do. If they have something like nachos or popcorn, every now and then - when you can - you can help out by buying it. I don't want it to shut down either. That's why I started. I go to a theater that actually sells burgers and pizza so I have no problem spending a little extra on those while doing my part to contribute. What I don't buy is candy. Lol.
I like those theaters!!!! one in downtown Charlotte yes go there all the time turkey burgers yum....
You not cheap if you being your own snacks to the movie theater. You might be stupid if you pay $4 for a bag of candy.
Exactly! Two medium drinks at our Malco around ten dollars.
In Australia you can pay up to $6.50 for a small bag of maltesers and two medium drinks can be up to $30 so yeah your prices are pretty cheap actually
Aisha Malik i dont think Australian money & US money is converted the same but i could be wrong
for real
Especially if snacks are like $8 or $9 in theaters
I'm sorry maybe its because I'm struggling with student loans from undergrad and grad school with no job, but I don't see anything wrong with an itemized or separate check. Sometimes you are simply on a budget and I don't need your 5 drinks on my 10.99 meal! #inmyfeelings lmbo
I don't even know why people are having an opinion on an itemized check. Restaurants are supposed to give you an itemized check. What if they put another table's $10 cocktail on your check? Or the extra side you asked for but never came? It happens.
So Tamar thinks it's cheap to bring your own snacks to the cinema, but it's clever to return a funky smelling outfit back to the retailer? I can't.
she said its cheap because of the stops at stores when you can jus buy it at the movies. but thats two different things i dont really think you can compare the two lol
@@Leahhbabyy movie theaters snacks be way to expensive sometimes
@@Leahhbabyyactually u can
I stay stacked with deli sandwiches and candy in my knapsack bookbag whenever I go to the movies. $7.00 for Nachos, $8.75 for popcorn & large drink, $3.00 for a little box of candy ? Hell No !!!
lol in norway its 30$ for a large popcorn & large drink, the same price as one beer
marieme aaliyah fall moe What ?!? That's crazy
marieme aaliyah fall moe Oh no girl you serious?!?!? thats some bull junk. I'd rather wait til I get home to eat.
Tony Turner Norway is a EXPENSIVE country. i swear. imagine what i pay for food for one week. 300- 500 dollars, and its 4 weeks in a month.
Tamar Trippin GURRL! i understand its lots of werrk to get snacks and stuff for the movies BUHT! she should know some people tryin to save their COINTZ!
As a vegetarian, my pasta and juice costs like £6 but when my friend orders a £15 steak ,a £5 drink and a £7 dessert then says "Should we split the bill?" I get really annoyed.
Clo W no because your basically paying for her meal
I would stop going to dinner with her.
I usually always do separate checks.
cheap boi
smart boi
Same! Especially because I’ve been vegetarian my whole life. I’m not paying for my friend’s’ steaks
Darkwaveduck ye I do too. I live in the uk it’s normal to do that here.
Call me cheap but I want seperate tickets. Once in college we paid together and I ended up putting in the most money in and I didn't even eat that much. Nope not again or else I'm hanging out with people that aren't cheap.
Movie theaters charge entirely too much for popcorn. I don't buy the popcorn because I heard they put extra salt and butter on the popcorn to make people thirsty so that they have no choice but to buy those expensive drinks.
jasmines will I guess you can call me cheap too. I have had the same scenario happen. I ended up paying more than the person(s) who ordered more. I couldn't figure it out.
jasmines will it work both ways for me.If someone ended up paying for what I ordered I would also feel shamed as if I used them
Airay Gasai same here
Tamera is so prettyyyy
@):24 even she had to think- dang, I look good - lol - you can see it in her face, loL!
yeah, she looked really good in this episode.
Establish with your friends that you'll always separate the check OR have that conversation beforehand so it doesn't get awkward in the restaurant after a fun evening. PLUS it makes those time when one of you randomly says "oh, don't worry, it's my treat tonight!" even more special!
Loni was like "You gotta take out a loan for the movies" 😂😭that had me dying
I like the movie snacks thing, once when I was in high school, I was part of this youth group and we had a trip to the theaters. One of the mentors, literally had a stash of snacks for us, so they didn't have to spend a whole bunch of money on Movie food. She stuffed the bagged stash under her jacket and started waddling in like she was pregnant. That was the best and funniest thing to ever happen in front of me.
yeah you look like you love snacks , judging by your profile picture , no shade😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I actually don't like snacks, I am more of a fruit and veggies girl, I have a glandular problem. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I WAS RAISE ON HOME COOKED FOOD, NOT JUNK FOOD OR NON NUTRITIONAL SNACKS. I don't even eat fast food, I don't have time for that.
N.A. Jean tbh I was joking around with you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wasn't raised on fried food, but good wholesome Haitian food
N.A. Jean I said I was joking girl
I cannot count how many times I have gone out with friends to eat and they order everything they can on the menu because they know the bill will be split and here I am thinking we will pay for what we ordered then I am stuck paying for someone else's wine and lobster and I all I ordered was the Salad. So now I ask for a separate bill unless we agree ahead of time to split it.
I only do group checks when I know someone is short. Besides that everyone is responsible for them I’m only 18 and I’ve been doing that forever lol. Mainly because I will get just fries or a salad and be done because I get full so easy and I’m not paying $35 extra dollars when I don’t eat like that
these women dont know what it is to be broke lol
ariana jones Yaaass Girl yaass
ariana jones preach!!!! 😂😭👏👏🙌
ariana jones they ain't all grow up with having money Jeannie parents are immigrants so is Adrienne and Loni didn't grow up with money you can't judge somebody because they came up from where they grew up
ariana jones you have no ideas what situations they grew up in. Just because of their good positions now.
ariana jones I hear you !
Happy Holidays Ladies! I am 67 and I DEMAND seperate checks.Why? Simple. I have health issues so dinning out is difficult. I agree to go for the social connection; NOT the food. BUT, there is always that one CHEAP person in the group that "INSISTS on splitting the check" and then order the MOST expensive food & wine. I worked as a waitress & I "LOVED" working "Seperate Check" tables because the tips are amazing.
Seperate checks all the way ,
I have stopped going out to dinner with more than like 2 other people for this very reason...and certain people I just won't go to dinner with anymore at all because I know they expect to split the check in very unfair ways. I don't care for wine at all and often times we'll go to a restaurant that does not have liquor, so they all get drinks and I don't. I'm sorry, but it's not "cheap" for me to not wish to involuntarily throw money away on someone else's meal.
Now, if the overall bill is like $50 for my share but us splitting it evenly causes me to pay $55, I'm not going to make a big fuss about that. A few dollars here or there is okay. But once it gets to where I'm paying $10, $20 more than I should be, I have a problem with that because it begins to add up...more often than not, the same people in a group are the ones who repeatedly end up overpaying. That's why some people try to label you as "cheap," because they are never on the receiving end of paying too much and you ALWAYS are. It's not a one-time thing and they don't realize that. And hell, even if it IS a one-time thing, why do you feel entitled to a discount on your meal, at my expense?! It really pisses me off. I find it to be incredibly rude.
so very well said.
But "they" do realize what they are doing. If they keep repeating this its because they think its ok to use you and think you will probably just pay for it to not seem cheap and if you say anything they will make you feel like you are. Its essentially gaslighting. I've only encountered this problem in work gatherings and when I'm going out with friends who have brought other friends. My circle would never do this as they respect that everyone has their own financial obligations and have dining etiquette.
Lonnie said you gotta take a loan out to get snacks at the movies. LMAOOOO
the worst is, if you're the one not drinking and the others have like two bottles of wine and you're still expected to help pay for the alcohol. not cool
Tamera’s look is bomb!!! And I also like that fringe on Adrienne!
Tamera 😍 is so good looking
lies get yo life you tried it
sup
gary c sup
"In the hood we ask for separate checks" LOL
Tamera looks stunning in that dress
1) Thats why when I go out to dinner with friends its to something basic. Itll be a platter or pizza or something.
2) the $ store is right next to the theatre here theyre basically asking for it
3) cheap
4) nope never done that
does anybody see that blonde at 0:14 all the way to the left? lol her face is like "Bruh"
do you see the one on the right second row looking down like why am I here
potato_master ಠ_ಠ 😂😂😂
I don't mind paying for food at the movie theater because I know that's how they primarily make money and stay open. What I refuse to pay for is the candy. They sell small boxes of candy for $4-6 that you can find at the walmart or drug store next door for $1. You might as well not sell that at all because who in their right mind would pay for that knowing the price hike. If the boxes were bigger and harder to find candy maybe...smh.
I'm with you. I bring my own candy. I will buy popcorn and soda at the theater if I really want it.
You talkin straight facts
loving jeannie's necklace!!!
I know it's so cute
Loni: *"You gotta take a loan out to get it"* I'm weak! X'D 1:45
I believe in separate checks and bringing your own snacks to the movies...the other things are jive cheap though...
I apparently live in the Ghetto because if you are both paying for your food you get separate checks. 😂😂
Separate checks. That's normal
When I go with my best friend he always end up ordering literally everything from the menu and I order one thing and end up paying for half of the food. It's just so damn annoying. It's hard for me to say lets do separate check but people just need to be more considerate. It's about the moral of the situation.
I'm sorry but you will never catch me paying for anything at the movies but the ticket! Simply too overpriced! I hit up Trader Joe's right before I go to the movies every time! They have really great snacks!
OMG Tamera looks so HAWT here!! Damn!
my dad snuck a box of Kfc into the movies
My dad snuck Chick fil A in one time 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 did one of you have a purse or bag or something
Amiyah Price I walked right in with longhorn in the longhorn bag 😂
Your dad is a genius 😂
That's genius! I love KFC!
I've brought a chipotle rice bowl to the movies 😂😂
I was in a situation before where some friends and I went out to eat. One person paid for everyone's orders (granted I was prepared to pay for my own, but I guess he was feeling generous). The following day, we all went to eat out again; however, my friend that paid for our meals the previous night had an attitude with me. So, he asked the waiter to give everyone separate receipts. I thought it was a bit shady and I'm sure he still ended up paying for the others.
As for the movie situation, it's usually 50/50 for me. Sometimes I'll purchase snacks from the theater, and sometimes I'll bring my own.
why was he mad at you? just curious
88948895611499 After we all went out to eat the first night, we went back to our hotel (we were out of town for a couple of days). Him and I had to share a bed. He kept trying to touch me and was just being all-around annoying, despite the fact that I told him I only liked him as a friend four days before the trip even happened. He didn't take the rejection well and started acting out. The attitude carried on to the next day because I chose to ignore him the entire day for the sake of enjoying the remainder of the trip.
Girl, that was the problem he liked u LOL ! That happened to me once ( Im A Guy ) I asked my best friend since kindergarten ( a girl ) and this was when i was in 7th Grade did she wanna go out with me and she of course said No but I didn't take it as a bad thing cus she loves me and i love her but we know it wasn't really meant to be anyway and we are still cool shes like my sister. And i hope y'all had worked it out after the trip lol
Myronn Coleman Lol, he went against the grain and overstepped his boundaries. I was aware that he liked me and he was aware that I didn't feel the same way, and I felt like he was trying to take advantage of the fact that we were in the same bed. At one point, he even had the nerve to say that he expects things in return when he spends his money and time on others (two things I definitely didn't need from him). We didn't talk for about 4 months after that happened, but we eventually settled things. We don't have much of a friendship anymore though. I'm a guy, by the way.
Well Boy lol ( srry i thought u were a girl for some reason ) its nice that u guys worked it out and thats sad y'all still aren't friends after y'all settled the chaos! And my girl-friend was actually like i didn't know lol cus she liked my best guy friend and i didnt know so we were laughing at each other and never said another word about it . We are still cool after 8 years in Grade School
I bring my own snacks to the movies, lol. The only thing I may buy is some popcorn, though.
Yaaasss to separate checks!
I've never bought food into the movie theater until this year.. I took my friends daughters to the movies and before we left one said "make sure you bring your big purse Ms. D, because we need to stop at the gas station for our snacks for the movies." I quickly switched purses to suit the occasion. I have not done that since, but I would if I had to.
One time me and my friends split the check. I am flat broke. I bought a $5 dollar soup on purpose and then I had to end up spending like $20 dollars on other people's drinks and stuff. Like, oh no, why do I have to pay for you when I clearly don't have money even for me. Not to mention that sometimes some people end up mooching off of everyone else. They be forgetting to pay taxes and tips. Hell no.
1. Cheap.
2. Cleaver. They rip you off soooo much!
3. Cheap.
4. Cleaver.
Clever. Clever if it's candy, but I love theater popcorn and nachos. It's nice and warm. Cheap. Cheap
It's tacky to buy clothes thn return them. I would be mad if I bought worn clothes...I've accidently bought worn shoes and didn't even like them bt couldn't return thm bc the store thought tht I worn thm when they sold it to me like tht.
Just wash them and get over it 😊😊. It's fine after you wash it!
+Golden $tar it's not hard to wash it and wear it but if you're paying for new clothes that's what you should get. If we wanted used clothes we could just go to thrift shops.
+n.r0yalty I don't really care about wearing used clothes, it's not hard to wash them. That's what you're supposed to do anyway because what if someone stepped on it or it fell on the floor? Wash them and problem solved.
I'm sorry
I worked at a major movie theater chain back in high school. The official policy on customers bringing in outside food & drink was as long as it wasn't extremely smelly or loud/noisy you could bring it in.
JUST CLEAN YOUR MESS UP WHEN YOU LEAVE!
If you are going to bring in outside food/drinks because you do not want to pay the concession stand prices, you at least can clean up after yourself when you leave.
Have a great show the Real keep Rick and God bless make me smile 😊
For me.. it's cheap to return a dress after wearing it outI pack those movie snacks REAL GOOD for the moviesI am always well equipped for dates and make sure I can pay my own way (I go expecting to pay for myself and if he/she offers... I let them)
Separate orders all the way unless previously planned otherwise.
That face tamar made @ Jeannie like "yes u idiot there's a difference"
these are NOT the people to be talking bout cheap/clever...esp since they don't really have to be either
Adriennes top and Jeannies necklace 😍😍😍
My cousin and i once smuggled in chipotle and mcdonalds at the movie theater . We were hungry and didn't have time eat before the movie . I buy snacks at the movie theater but usually i get a big drink , split the cost with a cousin and we share it .
Yes just ask for separate checks unless your a close friend and you need money its not a problem but im not splitting a check when i only ordered one thing and the other person ordered half the menu that's not even acceptable
They could have ordered a five dollar during and I'm still splitting the check.
OMG I love whatever tamar's top thingy!!! What is it????
It's a jacket
I don't mind itemized bills lool There's no way I'm paying for someone else's extravagant meal and don't expect anyone to pay for mine 😂
*and I don't
Bringing your own snacks to the movies is soooo clever. I'm thinking of doing it tomorrow and in the UK in my local cinema we're allowed to bring our own food as long as it's not hot food
Thanks for the longer videos!!! Appreciate it! Love from South Africa!! ☺️❤️❤️
Omg, i love these girls
1:48-2:04 lmfao this part was way to real! 😂
Tamar " most people always want me to pay idk why"? lol u rich as hell girl u dont see ur networth
When u rich like Tamar is u can pay for that and still have money at the end of the day. In Tamar's point it's cheap but if u ain't rich that's clever as hell!
Bringing your own snacks to the theater is definitely clever but returning clothes is just cheap. Nobody wants to wear used clothes!!
If I do not have spending money then I do not go out...
Tamar : "what snacks are we talkin bout?""
Me : "boo do it matter, they snacks"
I bring my own snacks to the movie theater, as a matter of fact I did that when I went to see "Black Panther".
LMMAAOOO!!! I did the whole “returning clothes after wearing it for a day” with my Prom dress. My mom paid over $100. Wore it, danced on it, some of the beats were coming apart, showered it with perfume and everything. I even took pictures. I just waited until it was returned to upload those pictures because one of my friend’s worked at the store lol she was also at that Prom
im a grown man why am i watching this
For the 4 Beautiful women!
I ask myself the same thing but im addicted
Ko Ok cuz they're all fine and foxy as hell.
Pay for your own meal, that's how me and my friends do it. Occasionally we will just say I got you girl and pay. Like my bff if she knows I'm low on money she will pay for me and other way around. I always bring snacks to the movies but I do buy a soda or slushee and I would NEVER return something after wearing it that's just rude. Someone else is gonna use their hard earned money to buy something you wore and who knows what bodily functions are in it ewwww hahaha
Jeanie's outfit is nice. I love the necklace. I so want it.
I agree especially with the movies. I went with a friend and her family. Of course i expected to pay for my own ticket and snacks, but i didn’t expect to pay the amount that I did, The snacks at the theater were outrageous. Between the ticket and snacks I ended up spending well over $60
I love tameras look.
Bringing your own snacks to the movies is clever Tamar
Tamera looked absolutely stunning 😍
Ha I ain't paying your meal!-clever
Tamer's bill demonstration killed me lol😂
Bringing your own snacks to the movies: I think it's clever cuz ya know i need to bring my enchiladas and my mexican candy and ny buttery popcorn with some hot sauce
I always ask for separate check when out with friends
Adrienne looks amazing here hair makeup top on point🙌🏼💜😍😍👌🏼
1 and 2 are clever. 3 is cheap. 4 is clever. :)
What's the difference between being cheap and being clever; it's the same thing in my eyes.
Yes I understand what you are saying. You must think " if I'm being cheap then I'm being Clever" no
Cheap is just saying I don't want to pay a lot or I want to save money ,and not wanting to give at all , while on the other hand clever is thinking of a way to manipulate the situation so that it works in your favor
yea. in this situation, cheap is used kinda as an insult.
Tamera looked absolutely stunning!!
Adrienne said oh you know red carpets, photo shoots, been there done that I'm just like girl I'm over here like😅😅😅😅
That's a new segment with old outfits/looks. Was this a "never seen before moments" episode or something?
Separate checks are the best
Unrelated but I love Jeanie's necklace!
Bringing your own snacks to the movies is smart!!! You buy two things from the movies and it ends up costing $30.....nope BRING YOUR OWN SNACKS....ive brought subway to the movies before instead of buying a meal there...save your money
Yes, I do that too, only buy food at the movies once in a while, I almost always bring my own snacks.
my girl and i sneaked in noodles with pop and snacks. lol to the movies.
Bringing your own snacks to the movies is very clever. Movie theaters be charging way too much. When I go to the movies, I always bring a big backpack with my own snacks. But returning a outfit after wearing it once is dumb and nasty as hell. Don't nobody want to wear your funk. You may as well give it to a thief store.
I taped the tag for a $300 homecoming dress my senior year on the inside so I could return it the next day. I made sure to keep it as clean as possible
Taking clothes back after wearing them is cheap. Now the person who buys it unsuspecting is buying used goods. Oooh pet peeve.
i dont see the difference between wearing and taking it back and just tryign it on at the store.
true yes
Yes Loni I agree Hood Deals that's were its At
All the ladies looking on point!
I sneak my own popcorn to the movies. It's way cheaper & tastier
