After posting a video of a friend’s birthday dinner turning chaotic because he wouldn’t split the $4,600 bill evenly, an Atlanta-based TikTok creator sparked a ferocious internet debate.
Viccgotti, who has 1.4 million followers on TikTok, argues vociferously that he shouldn’t be required to split the sizeable bill for his friend’s meal and instead insists on only paying for what he consumed.
My birthday, f-ing.
I should not have to pay for anything on my birthday, the woman exclaimed.
How can I be made to pay for something that I didn’t purchase?
The gang is seen causing a commotion in the upscale restaurant in the video, which has received nearly a million likes in less than 24 hours, as Viccgotti calls attention to everyone else’s extravagant orders. He may have self-ordered something, but it’s unclear.
A context label was included with the video’s submission to Twitter to make clear that it had been staged. The post was taken down at the same time by Reddit staff, who stated that “staged videos are not allowed on this platform.”. ”.
We come out together and divide the bill, one woman in a hot pink suit added. Period!’.
The other stayed seated as one of the men protested, saying, “You got lamb chop, you got steak, look at all they got, and they talk about splitting the bill.”. He explained, “You ordered too much and want to split the bill.”.
Viccgotti acknowledged that his friendship with his friend, who he has known since third grade, is no longer friendly in a later post.
We ultimately called the waiter over, and I instructed him, “Don’t split anything for me; they can split if they want, but we’re not here for that,” he said in another video.
The best course of action was also hotly contested among viewers of the video.
I’ll never argue about bill splitting. One user wrote, “I’m just going to pay for MY food order, leave the birthday person what I want, and tip what I want.
Another person said, “My bill is usually the most expensive when I go out, and I always pay for myself. ”.
On the other hand, some people concentrated on what would be expected in a high-end restaurant.
One viewer exclaimed, “The screaming in a fancy restaurant is killing me.
Someone else remarked, “Y’all aren’t embarrassed screaming about the bill.”.
One person remarked, “Y’all oughta’ had that figured out before sitting down.
How do you feel about this?
