When a friend comes to town and you go out...

My college roommate is driving through the area, and I am meeting her for lunch. She's not staying with me. I'd like to treat her for lunch, I know she'll give me a hard time. Is there any rule of etiquette about this, when some is on your "turf" more or less? It may make it easier to argue my point. Chat Icon

From an ettiquette standpoint, stress that she is your GUEST in your HOMEtown and that you have it covered. You could throw in something about being insulted if couldn't pick up the check.

I had a layover in the town where a male friend of mine lived, he took me to lunch.

As for returning the favor....I've yet to do it, but I'm sure I'll find something nice to send him!

from waiting tables, it is quite common to give your server your credit card at the begining of the meal, that way their is no discussion about it. A lot of times people would give it to me on their way to the restroom.

I had this issue when I visited my dad. I wanted to treat him, so I politely excused myself (they thought I was going to the potty) and I paid the bill!! I was pretty slick, its hard to pull one over on pops!!Chat Icon
