Mom’s Ridiculous Free Lunch Scheme Backfires When Her Friend Loses Patience After Falling For It Twice

But the issue remains: about 33% of Gen Z consumers say that shared expenses are a big source of stress and anxiety.

This woman got into a pickle when her “friend” assumed she would always pick up the bill. When she refused, she was called selfish and accused of being cheap. “I have kids, you don’t. You can afford it,” was her excuse. Yet when both of them refused to pay, the waitstaff started threatening to call the cops if no one planned to pay.
