NTA for not wanting to pay for wasted food. Run, OP
gt; NTA SHE invited YOU to dinner. Therefore, SHE should have paid.
I hate this. Why does inviting someone to dinner mean that you have to pay for them? Why can’t you just split it, or each pay for what you have?
I have never expected someone else to pay for me just because they invited me somewhere.
gt;”She said if I was willing to cover more of the bill without her approval then I should be fine paying the entire thing.” What does that even mean?
She was annoyed that I said that we shouldn’t split the bill equally between us and Juhi and Case. They ordered less food and they ate their food only so why should they pay? I think Katie thought I should have gone over it with her before telling that to Case and Juhi.
