My friend offered to put the whole hotel bar tab on his room, then went completely pale when he saw the actual total
We were staying at a boutique hotel over the weekend for a friend's birthday and decided to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar. One of the guys in our group, who is usually pretty frugal, suddenly decided he wanted to play the big shot. He loudly told the bartender to just charge everything to his room number. We all thanked him, assuming he knew what he was doing, and ordered a couple rounds of cocktails. About an hour in, he grabbed the small QR stand on the table to check what else they had. The code opened up a clean Menuforma page showing the full menu and drink prices. That is when I saw the literal color drain from his face. Turns out he thought the craft cocktails were $8 happy hour drinks like at our local dive bar. They were $22 each. He sat there in total silence for the rest of the night, staring at his phone and calculating the math. I ended up quietly paying for my own drinks at the counter before we left so he would not go broke. Never try to flex if you have not checked the menu first.
