That’s literally the point of the story. It was a douche move.

- Etheryte 4y agoI don't really see where you're coming from. If you go out to eat with someone who has more money than you why do you expect them to pick up the bill? I doubt you pick up the bill every time you go out to eat with other people.
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoYou seem to have missed that the people paying weren't the people who ordered?
- tedunangst 4y agoDon't invite people to dinner if you're not comfortable with what they may possibly order? If I don't want to pay for an expensive dinner, I don't invite along a big spender, and I sure as fuck don't invite myself to their dinner.
- rco8786 4y agoDid you even read the original story? I don’t think we read the same thing. Dude invites people out to eat. Orders oysters for the table. Asks to split the tab.
- tedunangst 4y agoIt was unclear to me who invited who were. Who picked the restaurant? The rich guy? Why would he invite somebody he doesn't even know to dinner?
- rco8786 4y agoI hope that one day you have the opportunity to go out to eat with people you’ve only recently met.
- rco8786 4y agoThey ordered for the table. If you order me oysters, you’re paying for them.
- tedunangst 4y agoSo tell the waiter? What's the problem?
- rco8786 4y agoThe problem is with the person who ordered oysters for the table and then told the waiter to split the check. That is the problem.
- tedunangst 4y ago"Excuse me, waiter, here's $20 for my Caesar salad, put the rest on his card."
- rco8786 4y agoHave you ever eaten a meal at a restaurant? You don’t bring the waiter into a financial dispute at the table.
- Etheryte 4y agoOkay, I see where the confusion is coming from, thanks for clarifying. That expression means something different where I'm from, I'm not a native speaker. Sorry for the noise.
