Does anybody else do this?

I just feel like Im paying for a Thanksgiving plate.

Understandably, Reddit commenters were shocked by the scenario.

More than 130 people have replied and not a single person has experienced anything like it.

Its not arestaurant bill, what on earth?

Thats just… no.

This is absolutely not normal, another chimed in.

I host holidays because I have a large enough house to do it and because I enjoy doing it.

Anyone who wants to bring a dish is encouraged and what you bring is totally up to you.

If it’s on the table it’ll get eaten.

Many pointed out that splitting costs in this way seems stingy, awkward, and even tacky.

I would never go back to that Thanksgiving, one said.

Talk about the opposite of thankful!
