Dear Queenie,
Recently my husband and I went out to dinner with another couple and all through the meal they complained about how expensive it was. Even the waitress could hear them. It’s not as if they couldn’t afford it. It was so embarrassing!
Queenie, should we say something to them about this or just not go out with them anymore?—Offended diner
Dear Offended,
It may be that this couple is not as well off as you think, or just more frugal than you are. Either way, there is nothing to be gained by talking to them about what happened, except to embarrass them.
In the future, choose a cheaper place to dine, or invite someone else to join you.
