A Group Of Women Get Pissed At Man Refusing To Pay For Their $700 Restaurant Tab

A TikTok user named Jerry posted a video that has racked up over 1 million views and caused quite a stir on the app. In the video, a group of friends was gathered to celebrate a birthday. The group consisted entirely of women, except for one man. When it came time for the $700 bill to be paid, the server set the check down on the table. The lone man at the table, David Shands, immediately asked, “Can you separate it? I’ve got the birthday girl and my wife.” Around the table, a chorus of, “Separate checks?!” was exclaimed. The women appeared incredulous as they argued with Shands. “You’re the only man at this table. Why are we doing separate checks? It’s all women here,” one said. Shands was adamant. “I’m not responsible for paying [for] everybody,” he responded.

“But you invited everybody,” one of the women said. At this point, the woman whose birthday they were celebrating, Donni Wiggins, stepped in. “Hold on, this is my birthday,” she said. Shands was no doubt hoping he would receive some support from the birthday girl. Instead, she sided with her other friends. “Shands, are you being cheap right now?” she asked him. The table once again erupted into chaos before someone asked Shands’ wife what she thought. She sided with her husband and said, “I really feel like it’s not his responsibility.” Finally, Wiggins got up and walked out with one of her friends. “Y’all are so embarrassing,” she stated. On the way out, she turned around to address Shands one more time. “You don’t come to no establishment like that talking about splitting checks. I don’t do that. I don’t split checks.”

As Wiggins left, one of the other women was heard saying, “I’m not paying for anything! He’s the man at the table. He needs to pay.” Commenters on TikTok were shocked by the video. “Why would they assume he would pay?” one person asked. “This table is full of audacity!” said another.
