Split Evenly

Do you say anything?

Split Evenly

You earn about three times what your oldest friend earns. Every time you eat together the bill lands in the middle and gets split down the middle, and he reaches for it fast, before anyone can suggest otherwise. You've watched him pick the cheapest thing on the menu and then pay for half of your fish.

Do you say anything?

Then ask

  • What would you say, in the words you'd actually use?
  • Why hasn't the sentence come out yet? Is it his pride or yours?
  • If he earned three times what you did, would you want to be told?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
