I doubt I'm the only one, but whenever I go out to eat there's NEVER correct change I always feel like I'm the person overpaying. The money isn't the issue here, it's usually a few bucks, but just the fact that it happens so often.
Don't get me wrong, I love going out to eat with friends, but when it is time to pay it's always a disaster. Someone always gets shorted, blah blah blah typical rant I feel like Larry David. |

It's simple really, all you have to do is bring extra 10s, 5s, and 1s with you. When an offender starts crying about not having exact change - offer to make change for them.

That happens with me too. Just go with the flow and trust that the universe will take care of u when u are in need. Money is never worth stressing over. |

Money doesn't go on trees and there's no reason why you should have to pay more. Trust me it's not always an accident, I love my friends but sometimes they can be real cheapskates also.
I would tell them I only had enough for my own check. So I'm not commiting any faux paus, I would prepare the money before hand and let the rest remain unseen. What makles them think my money is
less valuable then theirs?
Of course there are a few friends with whom money is no object, because I know they can and will reciprocate. I disregard all cheapness for these friends and we share the wealth as we acquire it. But everyone else can eat it!! |

That is the ONLY gripe I have about eating out with friends in Korea.
I should just carry smaller bills before I go out I suppose. |

| We all just put 10k in at the end of the meal and then split the change that the restaurant gives us. |
