The real problem
The bill is easy.
The group chat after is where it falls apart.
Not just “can everyone Venmo me?” — it's strangers at the table, missing numbers, and passing payment links through mutual friends.
That was so good 🍝
I got the bill — can everyone Venmo me?
Wait who was the girl at the end? Jess?
I don't have her number 😬
Can someone pass her my Venmo and what she owes?
Mark doesn't have Splitwise btw

Ok I'll just… figure it out later
