My boyfriend can not shop with me because 1) He never lets me take pictures of food when we're out because he thinks it's tacky and 2) He never lets me pay and throws away his receipts PLUS he never tips appropriately. Aside from going to conventions, how can I find someone to 'shop' with me on shops?
I have a Ruth Chris shop this Thursday that I'd hate to cancel
Sorry but I need my phone for timings and noting names. My phone is not leaving my side.@Isaiah4031a wrote:

There is nothing wrong with taking pictures. People do it all the time and post it on Face book.
I like the idea of getting a new b/f or doing shops by your self.
We do not allow cell phones at the table. However when I my bring my wife or my kids on a shop (that requires 2 people) I will take a picture of my food if it requires it and then I will put my phone away. In fact I always leave my phone in the car.
We don't get to have supper together much because of my work schedule but when we do all phones are put away so we can talk about our day.
Yesterday I went to Applebee's for lunch and I was in front of a lady and she was on her phone and she had her speaker on I was tempted to move because I didn't want to hear her business.
Sorry to get a little off topic
exacly. that is what i was trying to get at but lisa was more direct.@LisaSTL wrote:
IMO the suggestions about moving on aren't simply over a shop. Just from reading the OP, he sounds disrespectful of her and her business. On reading it again, he is also very controlling. Those things are always red flags.
was he controlling? did he allow u to take required pics? did he let u have the receipt even when he paid? it sound slike yes. the ops bf doesnt give off same impressionl.@Irene_L.A. wrote:
I don't think anyone should get rid of a relationship due to a shop...either don't take it or take a girlfriend.
When I was with my SO in Sarasota,Fl., my boyfriend and I went to Roy's whenever I got that job, and he paid for it...he was one of a kind, not to be found again, and I've tried. i'd rather have a good love than an average dinner...
some people mostly women have been beaten down emotionally & physically. hopefully they get even strength to leave a bad sitaution sooner than later before its too late.@Irene_L.A. wrote:
Guess OP isn't ready to throw him to the curb....sometimes it takes longer than one would think, due to the good times. Many men and woman don't understand our rules and the seriousness of what we do, explain it to him or tell him it is your business and important, if he cares he'll try harder to let you be, he may bring other good things to the relationship...just saying. I don't believe anyone can control you, you have to allow it....

Irene, normally I would agree with you, but I take issue with the "rules" that are apparently in place in their relationship. No one should be able to prohibit another person from doing something (within reason).@Irene_L.A. wrote:

ive went on date one time (one time only w/that guy) and he left 10% tip at very high end restaurant & we had awesome service. when we were leaving i said that i forget my whatever at table. ran back & left cash tip for server . think i left 20% cash tip along w/10% cheapo cc tip so server made out well in long run.@Kakita987 wrote:
@eyelove2shop I recommend that you tell him that it is unreasonable of him to make those rules for you. If he wants to be the one to pay, let him but you still get the receipt after. Of course, this is assuming he is willing to learn to tip to your standards (especially if you are giving him the money to pay).
Definitely not comparing, just saying you control yourself, I wouldn't take him...i would tell him if you want to eat at Ruth Chris with me, it's my way, or you can take me and pay....he is probably controlling in many ways, so, why is she taking it, is my point!@MSNinja wrote:
