I suppose the value exchange didn't have to be exactly balanced. It probably was more like perpetually exchanging favours. You would automatically try to repay the favour in an appropriate way, because you wanted the relationship to continue.

You don't have to keep an exact tally but you all usually know if someone is skimping or only offers to pay at the cheaper venues (and this might be OK among friends if we are all in different financial situations which is an important part of a favour economy).
