Boy, no kidding. I always hated the group lunches at work because the
guys would order 2 beers at $5 a pop, along with lunch, and then want
to split the tab. Inevitably, I only ordered a salad or soup special
or something and no beer, so always got the short end of the stick.
After a while, I just turned down their offer to go out, and they could
never figure out why...
