I guess my dream scenario is to have this become a meme and in-turn a norm.
Ah. I guess I should be transparent in saying that I don’t want this to be the norm, and I don’t intend to pursue it as a general strategy. I’m fine to request separate checks or to evenly split the bill if I think that’s most comfortable for my dining partners, but my preference is for loosely-tracked alternation.
I kind of like the lightweight obligation/excuse to repeat the meal which is incurred by having one person pay.

Mm, I see. I guess I don’t find I need to incentivize friends to get together. And this norm would be for more casual and/or business meetings in which case I doubt people would be getting back together because they felt obliged to pay for the next meal.
