You and an old friend catch up at a restaurant. When the bill comes, how do you make sure the poor waiter takes your card? - eviltoast

I usually whisper, “I’ll flip every table in this joint if you don’t take my card, including the one with that child at it”, and while it has a 100% success rate, I can’t help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

    That’s a good rule of thumb for a lot of things. Don’t drag it out. You’re both in the clear on both sides of the coin when you do this naturally.

      It’s just as rude not to accept a gift with grace as it is not to offer to help.

      You just insult someone when you refuse what they’re happy to give.
