My Sister Invited Me to a Fancy Restaurant, Went to Bathroom When the Bill Arrived

A Reddit user shared her experience of dining at a luxurious restaurant with her sister.

Dinner Invitation and High-End Cuisine
The user was excited to accept her sister’s invitation to a high-end restaurant after her sister had recently moved nearby. Despite the steep prices, they decided to go. She even cautioned her sister about the expense but chose to go ahead with the plan.

Disappearing Act
After the meal, the user was puzzled when her sister and her sister’s boyfriend excused themselves to the bathroom and never returned to settle the bill. She tried reaching out to her sister but received no response.

Taking Action
The user hinted at taking legal steps if her sister didn’t come back to pay the bill. She ended up covering the cost for herself and her husband when her sister refused to contribute. The following day, her sister requested that she pay the entire bill, but the user refused, noting she had never agreed to do so.

Reddit Reactions
Fellow Reddit users sided with the original poster, condemning her sister’s behavior as deceitful. They emphasized that unless someone explicitly offers to pay, the bill is generally split when dining out in a group.
