Abstract

In Greece, when you ask somebody out for dinner you mean it will be your treat. Still, every time two or more people eat together in a restaurant, there is a fight over the bill. It is tradition. Nobody wants the other person to pay. (“I asked you out,” “Yes, but I got the promotion,” “Yes, but you paid the time before, when it was much more expensive,” etc.). Finally, all but one retreat and the strongest wins. (Some victory!) Whenever you go out for dinner, you know that this is going to occur; you expect it and frankly, after all these years, you like it. It is a game.
