I 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.
