NTJ but your husband is an a*****e.
Not enough context to make a call on who is the jerk
I hate users and moochers and people who treat wait staff terribly and don't tip. NTJ. Just because friends are high on the hog dies not mean you and hubby are required to supplement their bills. We used (definitely past tense) to have a smooches friend. He lived in another stare but with no notice he would turn up at a mutual friend 's house unannounced expecting a free room for the weekend. Our friend with the house hated to say no but eventually ne also put his foot down. Same friend would tag along to dinner and would order food and drinks but when bill was presented to the group of 5 it would be my husband and our friend who lived there (he would have his gf too) and said moocher would find some excuse to absent himself from the table so he never paid a dime. We once went out on our friend's boat and we were all on flying bridge and moocher went below. I decided to follow saying I needed restroom. He ess in tte galley using my bag phone to call FL and talk to his uncle about whar possible real estate sales they might get the upcoming week. Thst is back when cell phones were new and charged by the minutes of use. I blew a gasket and made him hang up. I told him if he ever used my phone again like that he would be missing some fingers. I also told him we were past of him mooching food and booze and henceforth wiuld not be paying a cent towards any of his dinners. I went back up tip and told everyone what had transpired and that I informed him no more freebies. He was later told by our friend's gf he wss not welcome to just show up. She and I hated him Freddie the Freeloader after one of comedian Red Skelton's characters (he was an old bum). My friend group always requests separate checks and if we order an app or bottle of wine to be shared we let wait staff know to add it to a specific tab. If I am dining with a frirnd or two I might pick up lunch today and one by one they will do the same another day but in a large group it is best ti do separate checks. .
Your safety is paramount. You need to discuss this with owner/manager ASAP.
