EXTRA: Host or Guest?
When you INVITE someone to eat out with you as your GUEST, the expectation is that you will pay for the table. You are the HOST. Sometimes servers give the bill to the wrong person because of a mistaken assumption. These assumptions are usually about age, ability, gender or appearance. In each party below, discuss why the server may not realize who is really the host.
- A brother and sister dress up to take their mother out to a fancy lunch. The sister is paying because the brother just lost his job, but the server gave the check to the brother.
- A young woman who uses a wheelchair is taking her father out for dinner on his birthday. The server gives the check to the dad.
- A family of 4 is celebrating because their oldest daughter just won a lotto scratcher and got $2000. The server gave the bill to the mom.
- A deaf salesperson who signs takes his new client out for lunch. The server gives the check to the client instead of the salesperson
