"Hey, I don't think it's healthy for us to charge each-other for every little transaction. What do you think about not venmoing for anything less than $7?"
Venmo is not ruining your friendships, your inability to face issues head-on is

Now, however, such transactions may be followed with a passive-aggressive charge the next day or even late the following week, sometimes over dollars and cents of differences in price. A friend recently requested $4 for the difference between a drink she bought me and a cheaper drink I bought her in return. Another friend charged me $10 for a cab when I had previously bought her a $12 drink, so I felt prompted to charge her back.
Or I would just not worry about it. We all have our issues; a friend worrying about $4 probably means there's something behind it. I can either accept that person along with all their issues or I can find new friends.
