When you invite someone to go out to eat, who pick up the tab????
When you ask someone to come to your place for dinner do you list what they should bring?
I was raised that when someone visits you or you invite them over, you offer them meal. When you invite someone for dinner you fully take care if it. I have two sets of friends. One set is fight for how much each person should pay and the next set fight wanting to pay entire bill. The very 1st time when I went with the 1st set of friends I was kind of shocked. They invited us for dinner and when the bill came they spent so much time figuring out who ate what and how much would each person should pay? When I go out with the second set whoever has the money pays or we just put in whatever cash we have in our wallet only if we don’t have enough cash one person pays from her Debit or credit card.
Personally I would be very embarrassed to even suggest my invited guests pay anything or bring food/ dessert? If you cannot foot the bill do not invite anyone for dinner/lunch.
