I usually whisper, “I’ll flip every table in this joint if you don’t take my card, including the one with that child at it”, and while it has a 100% success rate, I can’t help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

    Whomever invited the other person, have the “right” to pay. If you both just bumped into each other, then the “home” side pays. If both persons are locals, then the socially “senior” pays. If both are of the same social rank, then the one who didn’t pay the last time should pay. If all else fails, split it 50/50.

      Such odd rules for paying. I’d rather just talk to the person I’m dining with and see what they want to do. I prefer to just pay for what I ordered in all scenarios but if they insist after I say no once then I’ll let them pay.
