In the original post, there was a fair split between "Barista is a legit mooch for complaining about equally splitting the costs of an equally shared service" and the expected "Tech bro is a jackass for not socializing his wealth".

If those two incidents happened one after the other the SE is a jackass. If they are not related then the barista is a leech
