You're at a restaurant, you order a cheeseburger, but the server says it is 3 bucks extra, would you pay?
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
Ironically, I think I would pay 3$ more if the cheeseburger cost 3$ more than the regular burger but would say no if it was like there's only a burger on the menu and they tell me it costs 3$ more to make it a cheeseburger.
Also, from the way she tells the story, I think the "problem" in this case wasn't not getting the cheese, but the way he complained about it afterwards. Not judging whether or not it's an actual issue, but depending on how it went, it could have come off as someone being super stingy. Not digging the way she just left without telling him she was leaving (don't get me wrong, leaving is always 100% fair if you're not comfortable or don't like the person, IMO, just tell them unless you don't feel it's safe of course) but she did go to the waitress, paid for the tab and then let him know she left (however badly she did it). As far as ghosting goes, it could have been worse haha.
I don't think refusing 3$ add to get a cheeseburger is being a cheapskate. However, I think complaining about it after and making a big deal out of it kind of is. I don't know, it's not the kind of thing I would harp on to someone during our first date?

If I really wanted a cheeseburger I probably would. But most of the time I'd just order something else. It's principle. And $3 is outrageous. You don't complain on dates, but the way she makes it sound he was probably just astounded at the up charge and not truly complaining.
Girl sounds terrible. Definitely not someone I'd date.

hahah, yeah, In this dating etiquitte video, it's *more wrong* to not get $3 cheese on your burger, than it is to ditch your date.
Yeah, if he ordered it for him and didn't want to pay, then he's a dumbass.
Yeah I think the common consensus is he dodged a bullet, which is true but that's more long term, in the short term he really took a bullet. That could have hurt the guy real bad, people have killed themselves over stuff like this. I imagine it would feel horrible to realize his date snuck out on him and then found out it was broadcasted to the entire world that it was because he was seen as too stingy or whatever to pay another $3.
I'm loaded but no I'm probably not paying $3 for a slice of cheese. Unless like others said the burger was already $30, I mean at that point better go all out anyway. Of course I would pay $50 for a bottle of wine and you know that's $40 straight profit markup so a slice of cheese isn't the most egregious part.
Burger with cheese being more expensive than burger without it is expected. 3 dollars does seem much, especially if one slice of cheese is the only difference. I might pay it though if it's good cheese and really makes a difference.
Edit: I'm used to cheese slice costing 1-1.50 euros.

I might pay it if it's good cheese (not American cheese lmao) and I really craved it, but I'd grumble. $3 is too much.
That woman is the red flag, not him.
You dodged a bullet, and so did the guy who dated the stupid fuck in the OP.
Not really? It was HIS order. And $3 is a stupidly high surcharge for a cheese slice. He just said "all right no thanks" and made an innocuous comment about it.
That woman is the red flag, not him.
????
In her video she says she told him "you should have taken the cheese". And we don't know he made a big deal, from HER side of the story he literally just grumbled briefly.
She didn't ghost him. She texted him an explanation and then blocked him. Ghosting would have been leaving the restaurant *and* radio silence

No. check the video for the breakdown.
They both ordered something.
His order had a up charge which he refused.
His date, the woman in the video, excused herself to go the restroom and ditched the date because she thought it was a cheap move on a date.
She then Venmoed the restaurant bill and blocked him lol.
Unless it is a non standard cheese, 3 bucks is too much.
Sucks for the guy, but he dodged a bullet.

You would be right if this was all how it went down.
Watch her follow-up videos. She's insane.
That's why I carry my cheese between my butt cheeks. It's always ready to pull out and slap on my burger. It's also going to be nice and warm.
I can't believe someone would ditch a date over not getting a slice of cheese. She did him a favor and he got a free meal out of it.
I mean, I get it. It *IS* a cheap move. I'm just thinking through the concept of going out on a first date and the difference in getting cheese on your burger being $1 (expected) or $3. Seems dumb for that to be your pain point. I, personally, think he's a dumbass for even thinking about it at that point. I also think her behavior is wrong!
Another note here: she ordered the branzino, which is probably in the mid-to-upper price range on the menu depending on the spot, whereas a burger is typically one of the lowest. I bet even with the $3, the cheeseburger would still ring up way less than her order, that's not a good look on a date lol.
Oh yeah, it is reasonable. Like I said, depending on where you go. If you're going somewhere super high end in and in NYC, $3 wouldn't surprise me. But even in NYC, 3 bucks for cheese would be a lot for your average bar and grill casual date spot.
I would just probably keep it to yourself why you're no getting the cheese, but that's just a dating best practices thing.

I've been to some of these places.
Some of these places have this dumb shit lol. It's listed as an hamburger and you have order cheese extra. It's incredibly stupid, but gotta make that money I guess.
Usually more mid tier places. Burgers are always a basic option at these places.
Eh, might just be me trying to see the positive in everything, I'm a naïve person in general.
Hey at least the dude got that free meal!
Kinda depends how much the burger costs.
If it's a $5 burger then hell no, I'm not paying $3 extra for cheese.
If it's a 25$ burger then sure, $3 seems reasonable to cheese that bad boy up

A story where you feel like everybody in it is the loser.

There are places everywhere that charge extra for cheese. Haven't seen $3 bad, but I assume it's more upscale. I've seen $25 for a grilled cheese at a Hilton restaurant (that we didn't eat at), so I can see that much of an upcharge at those kind of places.
$3 is a lot for a slice of cheese and that lady is a hero for removing herself from that poor man's life.
That's not even what she's upset about. The thing she's upset about is substantially crazier.
Era Clear is only a buck more. Bit of a red flag if you haven't subscribed yet tbh.
Steep up charge (except it was NYC so honestly pretty normal), but
This is me.
This is me.
it's the principle of the thing. $3 for a slice of cheese is ridiculous, even in NYC.
i'm not sure what your definition of "era-rich" is but judging from the amount of people on this forum complaining about their financial situation i'd guess not living paycheck to paycheck is "era-rich" lol

i'd surely text a friend on the way home if something weird happened on a date i'd just left, but putting it on social media is a bit much. i don't think it's normal.
I would not. $3 is too much for what is most likely a kraft american cheese slice.
This was posted on reddit and she gets really defensive in the successive videos about this. She showed cheese that costed around $3 but they are not slices thus not proving her point. Then she goes on saying that she's still talking to the guy in another video which I'm confused about. I don't think we need to be blasting this person.
Also warning that her tiktok is NSFW.

Interested in how you find the guy who just showed some sensible budgeting to be a loser.
The dating equivalent of someone who sends you a DM raging in a competitive game and pre-blocks you so you can't respond. Bullet dodged indeed.
My Lord, some of these modern women have ridiculous standards. She's definitely one of those "Money should be no object" type of women.
Dude dodged a nuke.

The guy got a free meal and dodged a bullet. Sounds like a winner to me.
