One guy took his girlfriend out to her favorite Mexican restaurant for her birthday, but when she wanted a second helping of chips and salsa, he put his foot down. Did he go too far, or was he justified in his decision? Let's dive into this spicy story! 🌶️

Chips & Salsa Showdown: Who's Right? 🥊
So, there you have it: a birthday dinner with a side of drama. Our financially stressed boyfriend wanted to treat his girlfriend to a special meal, but when she asked for more chips and salsa, he refused, saying it wasn't worth the extra $5. The birthday girl was not pleased, questioning his generosity and asking if he'd also limit her drink choices. Was he being too stingy, or was he justified in his decision? Let's see what people have to say about this spicy situation... 🌶️
