Also ngl if you get yourself into a situation where you're trying to seem rich to other people and you're really not, then that's gonna backfire at some point and this is the point, the person who can't pay is gonna have to own up and face the consequences (it will probably end with the others having to split the bill in terms of the financial aspect). Plus the bonus saying everyone takes turns for paying for the whole thing (still weird to me) should've let the person who can't pay know far, far in advance that this was coming and yet nothing was done on their part to stop it.
It would be much more convenient if everyone did pay for their own meals all the time, you’re right. But this is a classic, worst cast scenario where they’re just trying to flex on each other and brag about how much money they have. Also yes, I agree that “trying to seem rich to other people” will definitely “backfire” eventually. Everyone else is rich except for you, so you spend a 3rd of your life’s savings (while renting a tuxedo) to attempt to compete with them. That’s the part that I forgot to put in there.

I am a pro dishwasher, so the question is how many dishes would I have to wash to work off a $28k tab?
At least 28k dishes, lol! But yeah bro, I’d cut ties too especially if I can’t pay for just my meal, alone.

It is unrealistic over here in America, so it might be a little bit exaggerated. But let’s just say that hypothetically, you were to run into a situation like that. $1,000? Now this is assuming that you do have the money. But let’s say that you don’t have it and they just sprung it up on you at the last minute. Now what? You only have $50.
