When it comes to the check, do you prefer...
When I go out with my friends and associates and I say, I'll get this one. I prefer for everyone to NOT offer their share or a rounded figure close to it. I prefer that they just say, "Cool, bro, I'll get the next one," and then GET THE NEXT ONE.
I hate it when someone is like, "No, let me give you $14 to cover my ($shit)."
We are not in high school anymore and I don't need your $14 when I am picking up a $400 tab.
All of my friends who are in adult or just make money in real estate or whatever don't offer a piece of a check, they just pick up the next one. All of my friends who made nothing of themselves always offer to cover their piece. Bugs the fuck out of me... Makes a nice time and a quick transaction and departure from a joint into a cluster fuck.
Went to Vegas with 3 couples. One I knew was on a tiiiight budget because he is a friend I brought into the industry and I know he is just starting out. Another makes great money in real estate and another makes decently good money working for UPS in two different jobs with double pay, benefits, etc...
The first dinner I offer to pick it up. Real estate guy says, cool, I got the next one. I know the broke guy can't pick up any checks and me and the real estate guy told him not to worry about anything all weekend. But the UPS guy always insisted that he figure out exactly how much he owed, then added 10% for a tip and then gave you that amount. Exactly... Like as in if it was $24.95 for him and his wife he'd pay you $27.45, change and all.
If he bummed a cigarette while we are at the blackjack table he'd insist on giving you 25 cents... WTF??? The real estate guy and I tried telling him to chill out and just pick up a check and he says, "Fuck that, when its my turn you guys might decide to have a few extra drinks and STIFF ME WITH THE BILL." WTF???
Some people... I just don't know...
