[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking you took your mom's advice a little too literally, OP.  $5 doesn't matter.  At all.  She meant don't order lobster if your hosts are getting grilled cheese.

I once took my secretary out for a thank you meal to a restaurant near our office.  We were all government workers, so I wasn't making bank.  I ordered a sandwich from the lunch menu at a sit down restaurant, and she ordered the lobster roll that cost 3 times what my sandwich cost and was a real outlier on the menu.  I was appalled.  That's what your parents are saying to not do.  I would not have noticed if her meal cost $5 more than mine.[/quote]

No, I can remember getting in trouble because I came home from McDonald’s and reported that I got a chicken nugget happy meal when the kid whose family took me got a hamburger happy meal because the chicken nuggets cost more.  I just looked it up and today there is an 11 cent price difference, I imagine it was less in the 80’s or 90’s.

So, I am pretty sure she didn’t just mean “no lobster”.
