My wife and I know a couple who had always wanted to go out to dinner with us so we agreed and went out for a comfortable meal at a local grill. When the meal was done, they insisted on paying for the whole dinner. Of course I refused but they wouldn't hear. I knew what was coming next, "you can get the next one." So for about two months I had that hanging over my head. I finally gave them a call to see where they wanted to go out to dinner. They said a place they knew by them that I had never been to. So my wife and I drove out to their house and we all went out to dinner at this supper club. My friend said it was an Italian restaurant but there was no Italian on the menu. Instead it was five course meals - steak etc. Right off the other couple starts talking about appetizers. Then they order the expensive entrees, and top it off with a couple glasses of wine. Then when they were done they threw in some dessert. The meal they paid for cost about $60. The meal I paid for cost double that. I honestly don't think they intentionally chose a restaurant that cost twice as much, but I believe they should have known better and should have offered to pay at least a portion of the bill.
