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 fans on TikTok, argues passionately that he shouldn’t be required to split the pricey bill for his friend’s meal and instead insists on only paying for what he consumed.
My birthday is today, f-ing.
On my birthday, why the f should I have to pay for something? the woman questioned.
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. What he had ordered himself is unknown.
A context label was added to the video when it was posted to Twitter to explain 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, a woman in a hot pink suit later added. Period!’.
While the other remained seated, one of the men stood up and objected, saying, “You got lamb chop, you got steak, look at all they got, and they talk about splitting the bill.”. After ordering too much, you want to split the bill, he said.
Viccgotti acknowledged that his friendship with his friend, who he has known since third grade, is no longer friendly in a later post.
In another video, he said, “We ended up bringing the waiter over, and I told him, “Don’t split anything for me, they can split if they want, but we’re not here for that.”.
The best course of action was also hotly contested among video viewers.
I never get into arguments about bill splitting. One user commented, “I’m just going to pay for MY food order and tip, give whatever I want to the birthday person, and leave.
‘When I go out, my bill is usually the most expensive, and I always pay for myself,’ remarked another person. “.
On the other hand, some people concentrated on what was appropriate in a high-end restaurant.
One spectator 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 should’ve established that before sitting down.”.
