[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never happened to me. Maybe I don't get invited to enough events. LOL.

"I’m standing up for all guests who are tired of this trend. Call it my #guestsdontpay protest."

From Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2018/01/30/stop-charging-me-to-attend-your-celebrations-guestsdontpay/[/quote]

This is standard to pay for your meal and split the birthday person's meal in my social circle. I am happy to be included and have no issue paying for my meal plus the birthday celebrants. [/quote]

Same here. If I'm invited to a restaurant for a birthday with a group (not just like us an another couple), I assume everyone pays their own way and chips in for the birthday person.

Then again, I don't get invited out a lot, so it's not a big dent in my overall annual spending.[/quote]

Same in my circle of friends and no one has an issue with it.  However, the birthday person is never actually the one to plan the party/dinner, it's always another person in the friend group.  Since it's usually the same people volunteering to do the planning each time (which my introverted self is so thankful for), it's not fair that they get penalized by having to pay for everyone's dinners.  After all, if they didn't do the planning, we'd all never see each other![/quote]
