Houseguests and Grocerys... Thoughts???

07-22-2009, 02:34 PM

So you are having a houseguest and they are coming to your house and staying for several days. You go to the grocery store and they tag along with you.

You ask them if they are going to pick up anything?
They reply "nope"

You get to the check out and they sit on their wallet.

Anyone else think this is tacky?

Yes -- I think it is. I have frequent guests staying with me, and they always help out with the groceries, etc. If I were to stay with someone at their house for a week, I would make a point of making sure I was chipping in with the food costs.

Did I forget to mention that after the trip to the grocery store and you get this person back to your house, they dive into your pantry or fridge and start munching away!

Absolutely, the least they could have done was to offer some cash towards the cost, even if they knew you'd refuse it. Some ppl are just too damned cheap and have no manners.

Oh that is one more bone of contention... This person won't buy dinner either.

Reminds me of the National Lampoon Christmas movie with Chevy Chase and the grocery store scene with Randy Quaid loading up the carriage. Guest should at least offer to take you out to dinner

i don't know i always pay for everything when i have house guests.. Always thought that is why we called them guests? If it was someone coming to stay with me for a few weeks then i might say we can each get our own stuff but if i know someone is coming to stay for a few days i'll normally go to the store and stock up on food and drinks

Well, I have house guests on a fairly regular basis and would never think of requesting assistance paying the grocery bill.

On the other hand, if I am a guest and we have to go to the store I will pay unless it is for stuff that they were going to need if I was there or not.

I think it's sort of an odd conundrum. On one hand, I think that the host should be willing and prepared to cover those expenses. On the other hand, I think that the guest should be willing and prepared to pitch in.

I've always gotten annoyed when people come over for a party early and just sit on the couch doing nothing while everyone else that is their early is up and about, preparing for the party.

In the past, in most cultures, the host should completely take care of everything for their guests. Not really the case in North America today though.

However, this person just seemed to be taking it for granted and not even offering, which is where I would draw the line. Either, let the host know you are broke / low on money and see what to do, or offer what you can even if it's then refused. Or offer to make up for it some other way (dinner, activity, chores, sexual favors...)

Let me add one wrinkle to the situation. This person was invited to come for a party I am having this weekend. They asked if they could come early and stay a few extra days.

This person is also a regular guest and comes to visit quite often yet never offers to pitch in or even cover a dinner.

Thoughts different now?

Yes. Why do you keep inviting them?
