The sister KNEW this was not going to be a victimless crime -- as if there really were such a thing. She just saw nothing wrong with forcing OP to "pull my weight and pay my freight."
NTA for not wanting to get stuck with the entire bill but OP is lucky she got away with this. In most jurisdictions, restaurants can hold anyone in the party liable for the entire bill. Most restaurants aren't going to waste time and effort tracking down someone who isn't there when they have someone right in front of them on the hook.
The culture of my earlier life assumed that whoever does the inviting, pays the full bill. At about 45 years, i emigrated to another country, where the culture is "everyone pays their own bill". Both are acceptable. Your sister is socially irresponsible!! 😢😮🎉
Even in cultures where the person inviting pays, the guests are not to rack up the bill by ordering the most expensive items on the menu. Sister ordered $450 worth of food believing full well that op was paying, which is incredibly rude and the sister should be embarrassed. This seems to be getting more common on dates too which is why I think we should go back to whomever is paying does the ordering and then they can veto anything that is outrageous.
She did so at the start of the dinner in the restaurant. The sister however requested to know that when they were still at home while planning the dinner.
NTA. Sister is an absolute A. HOLE. Regarding sister's biyfriend, I am betting that she lied and told him OP would pay. Sister planned the dine & dash. She insisted in the expensive restaurant, knowing that she was going to stick OP with the bill.

Transparent deception, especially given that both she and bf sneaked out. Planned
Sister needs to be put in her place, and you can tell that it has never happened. Why can't the boyfriend help pay the bill
Sounds like no contact would be a great choice.... such a grifter is no present.
She was the one to invite OP so if anything she should be picking up the entire bill
That's really low she rather lose a relationship with her sister than pay for her food

Didn't you say you wanted the check split, that you wanted separate checks?

Too much repeating hell block her
Whiny, long winded. Saying the same thing over and over. Story should have been 12 minutes.
Wow, a 10 minute story drug out for 23 insufferable, redundant minutes🙄🙄🙄
You know this story was written by a woman when you hear so many goddamn details and not getting to the point.
