I don't understand why rich people don't pick up the tab (Or at least be willing to) if they invite people out. It costs next to nothing and buys a lot of good

- rco8786 4y agoPretty reasonable chance this dude wasn’t as rich as you, or OP, thinks. Having a million dollars doesn’t mean you just buy everyone meals around you all the time. And if you do, then people just come to expect it and will even seek you out just for the free shit. Crap move to order oysters for the table and then expect people to split it though.
- ZephyrBlu 4y agoYou don't have to be that rich to comfortably pick up the tab at a restaurant. I do it pretty often with friends and I'm not rich. > Having a million dollars doesn’t mean you just buy everyone meals around you all the time I specifically said when they invite people out, not "buy everyone meals around you all the time". I think you're reading into this too much.
- rco8786 4y agoSorry you said “if they invite people out”. And I took that at face value. If I invite people I know to dinner that doesn’t mean I’m paying.
- zamfi 4y agoThis guy's actions are just not particularly defensible. He ordered not just oysters, but the whole meal by the sounds of it, with people he had just met and whose financial situation he was (presumably) unaware of. Expecting a split check is not reasonable. Either he came from such wealth that he didn't realize people ever consider the cost of an evening out--not a particularly satisfying rationale--or he was just clueless.
- analog31 4y agoEspecially since the meal is a write-off.
- rco8786 4y agoLol that doesn’t make it free
