One day one particular friend mentioned she wanted to see a movie that was out and asked if I had any comps. I initially assumed she intended for us to go together so was confused when she was arranging to collect ticket a few hours before I finished my shift in the shop I worked in. After we got around the confusion, it transpired she wanted me to give her the ticket to go with Her boyfriend. That was ok with me even though I thought it a bit cheeky so I gave her the comps and off they went. Later that evening after I'd finished work and they'd left the cinema I met up with them and we decided to grab something to eat. They wanted to meet in Burger King (yuck). It turned out there was an offer on whopper meals with the cinema tickets they had used the comps for. Her boyfriend loved BK but she didn't want a whopper meal so suggested I get the deal (can't remember details). After I returnted with my food she informed me I could either financially reimburse her the money I had saved or I could donate her my chips.

A few minutes later he was at the next table, got into rounds with them and got another plenty more free drink.Years ago (late 90s) 4 of us rented a house together, a friend of ours stayed over one night when we were only there a few days. He ended up staying every night for a year, he slept on the couch. He never paid a penny in rent or towards shopping. In the year he was there he bought a chicken for dinner once. So about £3 to live and eat with us for a year.

I love my steak but I wouldn't order the most expensive meal on the menu unless I was willing to pay for it and I certainly wouldn't expect someone else to subsidise me. Going on experience, there are many people who wouldn't order expensive steak/wine if they were just paying for themselves but when they are in a group they know that some people will order very little and won't kick up a fuss when the bill is split, so the scabs won't end up paying even the cost of their meal/drinks :mad:

But for a few people out for dinner, I think its pretty unfair on the non drinkers unless they have had starters/ dessert while others haven't. Similarly if people join late and the rest of the table have already had a load of booze, or if someone decides not to eat.
