Have any of you ever bought a round of drinks and not had one back????
Rounds might be OK among regular groups of friends, who are consuming at the same rate and equally wealthy, but if you're poor and not with people you know or will see again, it's annoying when some kn0b gets 4rsey because you say you'll buy your own drink (half a cider, take an hour to drink it), then 15 minutes later is declaring it's your round ... stops you going out.0 -
