Peeve of the Day

[vraiblonde]

Did you ever notice that if two women are dining together, the waitperson almost always asks if they want separate checks. But if a man and a woman are dining together, they never do. Then they bring the check and automatically place it next to the man.

I don't like that. If I'm having dinner with a male friend, we may or may not split the check. Or either one of us could be paying for the other. Hell, even if I'm on a date the check could go either way - this isn't the '50s.

If I'm treating my friend, it annoys me to have to reach over and grab the check. This is just pure sexism and discrimination, because men NEVER have to reach over and grab the check.

:shrug: Doesn't bother me either way. I just hand the check to whomever I'm with.
