A Shocking Disappearance
As the meal came to an end, the sister excused herself to use the bathroom. However, she took an unusually long time, causing concern among the others. The boyfriend went to check on her, but to their surprise, he didn’t return either.
Confused and puzzled, the Redditor and her husband decided to investigate. To their sh.ock, they discovered that both the sister and her boyfriend had left without a word. The Redditor tried to reach her sister via text and phone call, only to receive a message that said, “Thanks for dinner; it was just as amazing as you said it would be.”
Left dumbfounded and hurt, the Redditor felt betrayed by her sister’s sudden disappearance and the unexpected burden of settling the bill alone. She continued to contact her sister, questioning why she had left her with the bill without any prior agreement. But her sister remained silent, refusing to respond.
Taking Matters into Her Own Hands
Faced with the unsettling situation, the Redditor decided to take action. She warned her sister that if she didn’t return to the restaurant within 30 minutes to settle her part of the bill, she would only pay for herself and her husband. The responsibility for her sister’s shаrе would then fall on the restaurant.
When her sister failed to return, the Redditor followed through with her plan. She informed the restaurant staff and paid for her and her husband’s portion of the bill. The next day, her sister was furious upon receiving calls from the restaurant urging her to settle her unpaid bill.
The Clash of Perspectives
The Redditor felt no remorse for her decision, stating that she wasn’t surprised since her sister had skipped out on her bill. Her sister, on the other hand, argued that she had always paid for their meals, assuming she would do so again. However, the Redditor clarified that their past meals had never cost more than $60 and she had never agreed to cover the entire cost.
Despite the insistence from her sister and family, the Redditor refused to pay her sister’s bill. She advised her sister to resolve the issue before the restaurant involved the police, standing firm on her decision.
