Dear Abby: A group of four of us always celebrate birthdays with a girls' night out, treating the birthday girl to dinner. How do we tell a friend the choice she made is just too pricey?
Dear Abby: A group of four of us always celebrate birthdays with a girls' night out, treating the birthday girl to dinner. How do we tell a friend the choice she made is just too pricey?
I’m part of a group of four girlfriends. We gather for all of our birthdays and treat the birthday girl to dinner at a restaurant of her choice. However, one girl in the group orders several expensive cocktails, and the bill comes out to be a fortune. She seems to have no regard when it comes to the bill.
This friend’s birthday is coming up soon, and she has chosen a very pricey restaurant where the bill will be a minimum of $900 for four people. I’m scared to think about it. How do we nicely tell her she has gone overboard, or do we just not say anything at all?What “we” say to the birthday girl is that her choice of this restaurant is going to cost more than any of you can comfortably afford, and to please make another selection that will fit into your budgets.
