I would just offer to pay. It's what, $5, $6? Why make this an issue?

Then you dash out the door and no one pays

Just offer and if they decline, let them pay for their own. The least you could do is try

It depends on who is helping who. Offer to pay, do t push it. Who cares who pays, you’re not doing it because your or they deserve it, you’re doing it because it has to be done and you can efficiently get it done.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
