For too long we have thought that common courtesy demands that one person pay for everyone’s meals. Oftentimes this leads to an embarrassing struggle over who will pay. Of course, each person is expected to take turns, but the other is not always clear and this may lead to resentment by the others. Meal costs are also constantly rising, so paying for multiple meals at one time is often inconvenient. We could save ourselves a lot of trouble if we would agree to go Dutch-each pays for his own meal.
