Rich friends used to settle the whole tab, no questions asked. Generosity was a value.

A rich friend arguing over the details of a tab is just an asshole.

There are many assholes.

Also, many are generous to their peers and social circles but malicious anyone they consider beneath them and on the “outside”.

I saw this firsthand in my workplace (after hours)—a company that heavily promotes diversity, etc.—and it left me distraught for a few weeks.

These assholes are the hardest to spot.

Not just rich friends, some cultures have a big thing for paying for your friends as a celebratory act. You take turns though after many years which averages out anyways though. It helps those in temporary bad times, too.

Further, my rich friend just made enough on his/her investments to cover the entire meal before we were even seated at the table, ha ha.
