[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ordering the most expensive item is just tacky. Shows you have no class or manners. [/quote]

Unreal. You neurotic strivers are projecting your class insecurities onto your kids. The rich literally don’t look at menu item prices. They don’t care. And an entree is never going to come close to the bottles of wine they uncork with reckless abandon anyways.

The guest should order whatever they want, whatever makes them happy and good conversation. Stop stressing your kids out about POINTLESS worries.[/quote]

I hate to say this, but PP is right. Your kid needs to just be a normal human being and have a meal. Order whatever. [/quote]

Plenty of rich people are cheap or at least aware of what they spend. When being treated, It is tacky to get the most expensive thing on the menu or to order multiple rounds of drinks when the host isn’t drinking. Whether they are counting pennies or not, many people would still notice. [/quote]

The wealthy mentor will tell someone and crack a joke about the kid that ordered the steak or lobster.  And how many drinks the kid had and what kind of alcoholic beverage.  They will laugh about it.  Trust me.  [/quote]

And then what? Sounds like a trashy mentor.[/quote]

Doesn’t matter. Does the OP’s kid want the mentoring or not? Why do something stupid to get a fancy meal, when this person could support in much bigger ways in the future? [/quote]
