You’re at dinner with some kind of group. How does your order change if you are under the impression someone else is paying?

Re: Ask RM
Yeah, if anything I go cheaper, to be considerate. Unless they say shit like, go ahead and order whatever you want, I insist on paying a lot of money. Still trepidatious, but I lean frugal.

Re: Ask RM
If a person in the group is paying, my order will not change. If a company or institution is paying (as is the case when I'm a guest at a conference, for example) my gaze might be drawn towards the more expensive part of the menuBammer wrote:You’re at dinner with some kind of group.

Re: Ask RM
I took the question to mean "do you order a more expensive dish" (maybe) not "do you order a bunch of extra food" (nah... though I might get more drinks if it's that kind of dinner)tragabigzanda wrote:I basically never order more or less than my appetite is calling for. I gave up the “dining out = overeating” mentality a long time ago. Absolutely hate feeling stuffed.

Re: Ask RM
I’d probably just eat some crackers or bread so I don’t feel obligated to owe them anything. Never put yourself in the debt of someone else.

Re: Ask RM
I get what you're saying. But there's a way to be clear that you're not going to be in someone's debt when they're doing you a favor. And sometimes they're already in your debt because of services rendered or whatever.

Re: Ask RM
Whenever I'm treating people I just grab the check at the end. Announcing it at the start of the meal opens the door to this kind of trepidation.
