Exactly. I think that would show a lot more about his character. You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat wait staff and cashiers.
I agree with the majority of the sentiment here.
- One, it says more about a person how they tip their wait staff than what they pay for a meal. If it’s a $50 tab and buy one entree get one free brings it down to $30? If he tips on the $30 he’s a goner. If he tips on the $50 you know he’s a stand up guy.
- If I were in a position to do so it would be interesting to see what would happen in your date’s eyes if you actually had a 3,000 sq ft home and a Mercedes but showed up with a 10 year old Honda and took her back to a one bedroom apartment for drinks. That would be an interesting reality show to me.
- I do agree that tact should have been used. “I have a coupon for this place that I’ve been wanting to try with someone.” before hand is the perfect set up for that.
