01 Chinese-style pay.
Friends who work on projects together always like to have dinner together, and the leader just happened to invite them together last Friday. As always, ordinary home-cooked meals, mid-range restaurants. Usually a few buddies get together, and take turns to sit in the village when it is convenient, and occasionally it is the AA system. After everyone had eaten and drunk, the leader said, "I'll settle the bill," and reached out and took out his wallet. Xiao Wu woke up like a dream, quickly stood up, and greeted the waiter loudly"How can you let the leader break the bank! Waiter, I buy it. ”
Xiao Li on the side was not calm, and quickly stuffed out a handful of cash"Knowing that the leader is coming together, the cash is ready, and you are not allowed to rob me. ”Xiao Wu and Xiao Li blushed and had thick necks, and the waiter standing aside was at a loss. At this time, the owner of the hotel happened to walk in, and Xiao Luo pulled the boss unhurriedly and said"Boss, I often visit your hotel, and I brought my leader this time, shouldn't I give our boss a face? Give us a free order. ”
The boss immediately said to the leader, "Brother Luo spoke, the order must be waived, the leader's face must be given, I invited this table, waiter, just write my name on this list." ”
Just ask you if this trick is ruthless, not only to give the leader a long face, but also to let Xiao Wu and Xiao Li's "show" be completely defeated! In fact, in a lifetime of work, there are few dinners of all kinds. There are not only formal business banquets, but also some informal team building; There are official entertainments of the company, and there are also relaxed dinner appointments of colleagues.
Whether it is taking turns to sit in the bank, or everyone AA system, it is not strange to see a lot.
In the northern workplace, the bold regional culture, the AA system is not so popular with everyone, and the phenomenon of grabbing orders at dinners is not uncommon.
02 Pay for the three ways of playing: high, medium and low.
The "Chinese-style" pay, the water is really deep. At the dinner, when the leader asks "who checks out", the person who lacks the heart says "I pay", and high-end players operate like this (low-level, intermediate, and high-level gameplay).
Low-level gameplay: Find an excuse to pay quietly
Those who rush to pay in front of their friends or leaders are nothing more than doing it for others to see. For example, although Xiao Wu and Xiao Li mentioned above "grabbed orders" in front of the leaders, no matter how wonderful such a "show" is, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on the leaders. If you really pay the bill, you can find an excuse to buy the bill quietly before the end of the meal. For example, with the excuse of going to the toilet, there is plenty of time to pay the bill when you come out.
As a result, when everyone rushes to pay for the "show", the waiter will say "this gentleman has already bought the bill".
Needless to say,The pattern has been there for a long time, and the leaders will not hate such behavior too much
Intermediate play: Bet money in advance at the beginning
People who often go in and out of various dinners will encounter people who leave their seats early, and most of them go to pay. Those who love face and like to perform will take advantage of the situation to catch up with the "order grab".
This kind of order-grabbing "show", although it can express "heart", but if this dinner is very important to you, and it is also very important to everyone, and waiting for a few people to "hold back" and want to "grab the order", it is better to bet the money on the bar before the start, let the waiter deduct it from the deposit after finishing the table, and send the bill to the private room.
Needless to say, superfluous wordsThe pattern is very good, and the leaders present will also take a look at it
Advanced gameplay: Raise your face and let the leader benefit
Whether it's quietly coming out in advance to pay, or depositing money at the bar in advance. If you meet someone who is more capable of pulling, you will go directly to the bar and pull and shout at the boss"I gave them their money back, and I have to buy this order. ”On such occasions, whether it is a leader's field, or a dinner party of classmates, friends, and customers, it is inevitable to make others embarrassed.
People with high emotional intelligence, when they encounter such a scene, will greet the boss in advance, and ask the boss to give the buddies and leaders a "face", just say "the boss treats you, free order", and the consumption at the dinner table is directly transferred by mobile phone.
Just like Xiao Wu and Xiao Li, they have "performed" enough in front of the leader. But** know,Xiao Luo had already laid out the layout, and gave a full face to the leaders present, because the leaders were present, and the boss was free of charge. Is this trick ruthless? Your quality, your fine taste, high, really high.
03 Workplace dinner, pay the rules tips
Writing here, it is estimated that I will be drowned by many netizens again! What an advanced way to play, it's completely a routine, it's to tie up the leader, what a fake pattern, all kinds of big hats have begun to greet! Life is like a play, who is not acting? There's no need for anyone to spray anyone. In fact, there is really a lot of learning to pay. In the Western workplace, the dinner parties of colleagues of the same level are often AA system, and with high income or high positions, it is the most common for them to pay the bill, they don't understand the rules, and they deserve to be said to lack heart! In the domestic workplace, the rules are different from place to place. Usually: official entertainment, subordinates pay the bill, go back for reimbursement, reasonable. As the signature reviewer, the leader does not pay in principle in order to avoid gossip about kickbacks. As for private gatherings, those companies with a good corporate culture learn and integrate into the Western workplace culture, and are also accustomed to people with high positions and high salaries paying. But there is such an unwritten habit,In general, leaders do not have the habit of paying。Therefore, it will be more embarrassing if you encounter an AA system. Therefore, in such an occasion, the general principle of paying should be:Whoever proposes, who pays; Who pays, who declares。Those "shows" are exempt, and it is best to put the rules on the surface.
